New this week: not counted yet.We only started watching on 18 Oct 2026. A real weekly figure needs more than one snapshot. Until then every row is an EARLIER FIND and we show no weekly number.

Why it fits

Takeaways and food-to-go use packaging every single day.
Small starter packs and low minimums suit new businesses.
Print can wait. Stock lines first.

HONEST LIMIT: We can't tell whether a business already has a packaging supplier. Counts are baseline stock, not weekly. Rows are chosen by type, not by fit.
