Moulded Packaging Solutions for Food and Hospitality Brands
UB Plastics supplies injection moulded food packaging to some of the UK’s most recognisable brands, from national foodservice suppliers to independent producers. With decades of experience, in-house manufacturing and advanced labelling technology, we produce practical, high-quality packaging that’s as functional as it is visually appealing.
Our packaging solutions are used across leisure, retail, catering and hospitality environments, designed for hygiene, durability and convenience.
Supporting the UK Food Sector
Food packaging demands consistency, compliance and strong visual presentation. Whether it’s a grab-and-go snack, a dessert tub at a cinema or a branded spoon pack at a visitor attraction, the packaging must perform as well as the product inside.
We work with clients across the food industry, including dairies, dessert brands, event caterers and entertainment venues, to deliver packaging that meets strict hygiene requirements, offers strong shelf appeal, and can withstand cold-chain handling. From freezer-safe tubs to printed lids and serving accessories, we supply products that support food safety, speed and customer experience.
Products for the Food Sector
Our food packaging range includes a variety of single-use, portion-size and branded components:
- Ice Cream Tubs – Injection moulded for strength and uniformity, available in multiple sizes
- Lids & Caps – With optional in-mould labelling for branding, product info or tamper evidence
- Cutlery Packs – Pre-packed inserts for convenience and hygiene in food service environments
- Custom Packaging – Designed and moulded to your exact requirements, with support for unique shapes, closures or inserts
All components are produced at our Burton-upon-Trent facility using food-contact compliant materials and processes.
Why Choose UB Plastics?
Built on Experience
With roots going back to 1983, UB Plastics has decades of know-how in injection moulding. Trusted by major brands. We’re proud of our heritage, and even prouder of where it’s taken us.

We run 23 injection moulding machines, from 35T to 220T, with high-speed robotics and in-mould labelling. It means we can deliver consistent, high-volume production with precision – every time.
Committed to Sustainability
From recycled tamper-evident caps to efficient, low-waste production, we help our customers meet sustainability goals without compromising on quality.
End-to-End Support
We go beyond moulding – offering in-house design, tooling, stockholding and delivery, to make your project run smoothly from start to finish.
Trusted by Leading Brands
We’ve earned the confidence of major names in brewing, food, packaging and construction – by delivering quality, reliability and service that speaks for itself.
Tailored Branding & Pack Presentation
We understand that food packaging needs to work on the shelf and in the hand. That’s why we offer in-mould labelling (IML) for durable, full-colour branding applied during the moulding process. Unlike stickers or wraparound labels, IML doesn’t peel, smear or degrade, even in refrigerated or frozen conditions.
