If you run a business that serves food to the public in take away, you’ll know that it is very hard to find the right packaging. You can spend a lot on getting bespoke boxes and wraps, or you can save yourself a lot of money and resources and go for something a little simpler.
There are plenty of options available from biodegradable and recyclable materials to more traditional options like pallet wrap (Packaging Chimp sells pallet wrap, if you are interested). Whatever you choose, make sure it is easy for your customers to use and is of good quality. Additionally, make sure it fits well with your brand message and aesthetic.
If your food business delivers directly to customers’ homes, picking the right packaging is super important. This is especially true for big party orders where you need to pack a lot of food at once. In such situations, using packaging like carton boxes (also known as “kartony do pakowania“) can be a big help. Similarly, if your business involves sending dry foods to various locations, these boxes are an excellent choice for that purpose as well. These shipping boxes are strong and keep the food safe during delivery, making sure everything arrives in good shape.
Besides that, you will also have to consider how safe and hygienic the packaging will be. If you and your kitchen staff have taken up a Level 2 food hygiene online training or an equivalent one in your place of business (which essentially, you should), then you will understand how the composition of packaging material can have an impact on the food you send out.
