About products and suppliers

Food packaging boxes are an important feature when starting a food business. Whether it is a new restaurant, food delivery business, or catering company, having good quality custom food boxes is important. What kind of food containers wholesale should a business invest in? This depends on the kind of food and how it is delivered.

Which materials can be used for food packaging containers?

Food paper containers are the new rave when it comes to food packaging. They are sustainable and environmentally friendly and keep food warm, moisture free, and edible. Packaging for chocolates, cupcake packaging, and cereal packaging can all be done with paper. Other materials include Styrofoam, plastic, and foil. Food packaging design and impression should match the business’s branding strategy, and food served. For example, a bakery business should use delicate and light colors to design its food boxes and the feel of patisserie items.

What are some sustainable options for takeaway boxes?

Every business is looking for ways to decrease its carbon footprint and do something environmentally friendly. It is important to always choose sustainable food packaging options instead of non-sustainable ones, as customers will appreciate this. Environmental-friendly options include recyclable materials like paper, cardboard, and reusable containers. Compostable options are also a good choice; the packaging does not have to be thrown out in the trash but is bio-degradable and can be put in the compost pile. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a common compostable material used for food packaging. It is all-natural and made from corn starch, but it looks like plastic.

What type of plastic disposable food containers are ideal for food delivery?

If food has to be delivered, packaging should be suitable for traveling long distances and spill-proof. Heavy-duty plastic containers with sealed lids are perfect for food delivery on motorcycles or vehicles. Invest in containers that will keep temperatures warm and not leak.
