If local laws require you to use
disposable food packaging container instead of foam for restaurant takeout and food delivery, you may feel overwhelmed. In fact, there are many polystyrene-free packaging options to consider and weigh the various packaging features as you make your choice. To make the process easier, we've put together a guide to some of the most important factors to keep in mind when choosing the right
disposable food packaging containers.
Choose appropriate disposable food packaging container
You ultimately have to consider a number of factors when looking for suitable non-foam packaging. These seven factors may play an important role in guiding you to choose the best
food packaging container for your food.
Appearance
This is a great opportunity to rethink how your packaging reflects your brand. Does the appearance of your package conform to your brand identity? Breaking the classic styrofoam clamshell opens up many new opportunities in terms of size, shape and materials. Try to choose combinations that best showcase your brand, your mission and, of course, your food.
Heat resistant
Heat resistant materials are another important factor to be aware of. If you want customers to choose to microwave their leftovers in a container or clean the container on the top shelf of the dishwasher for reuse, you should choose a material that resists high temperatures.
Food visualization
If you've used styrofoam containers before, you don't have to worry about how the food looks inside the package, because your container is opaque. But now in the field of foam replacement containers, you can choose to have a transparent lid, which brings up more questions to ask yourself. Do you want your customers to be able to see your food through the lid? Do you want the base to be clear? Or have a black background to pop your food display?
Brand space
Customizing your
food containers is a great way to brand your business and differentiate your containers from the competition. If you want to leave space on a sticker with a logo, you need to select a container that can hold it. Containers with large flat LIDS offer a wide berth for your choice of custom brands.
Environmental protection
If your restaurant or customers are environmentally conscious, you will know that the impact of food packaging containers on the environment is another important measurement factor. Biodegradability, recyclability and sustainability will be key factors in choosing a certain product. In addition, some state and local governments may have their own environmental restrictions, which can significantly narrow your packaging options.
Be sure to consider these important packaging features when purchasing
disposable food packaging container options. From the perspective of minutes, this may require a lot of merchandise and careful inspection, but choosing the right food packaging container for your food has a huge positive impact on your brand and customer base.
