    Hi all.
    So basically I'm looking to package fish cakes and I'm wondering where in sligo could I buy the following? I'm just looking to buy the plastic part, without the cardboard sleeve.

    Any help at all is appreciated.

    Thanks

    They sell rolls of plastic food bags in Aldi or Lidl.

    Just a thought but would you think about using a recyclable or more sustainable option for your project? It could be an added selling point you could make your product more environmentally friendly. Plastic pollution is a huge issue and a recycle paper or cardboard might get you a few extra points

    ^Great suggestion. If for whatever reason that's not viable, I'd second The Food Store, have picked up similar there before. Also Homestore and More might have something.

    I think most Cash and Carry's stock them in the Catering section. My sister gets them in Seery's C&C in Athlone I think.

    That's a very good idea, however I was aiming my product at people who lives life "on the go" and basically my product is cooked once and chilled. So I was really looking for microwavable containers which could be stuck into the microwave in a hurry and have fresh fish cakes in 1-2 minutes. But I suppose the product could be put on a plate and microwaved..

    I wonder would it be difficult to source recyclable materials in Sligo..?
