Choosing the Right Food Packaging for Takeaway & Delivery - Blog

Takeaway and delivery put packaging under pressure. Food has to stay hot or cold, sealed and presentable from the kitchen to the customer's door.

Protect the food

Use leak-resistant containers and secure lids for sauces and soups. Choose grease-resistant materials for fried and oily food. Separate wet and dry items so nothing goes soggy. Match container size to portion to stop food shifting.

Keep temperature in mind

Hot meals

Hot meals need containers that handle heat and, where needed, venting to avoid condensation.

Cold food and drinks

Cold desserts and drinks need tight seals to stay fresh and spill-free.

Choosing the material

Aluminum containers suit many oven-ready and hot dishes, while plastic and paper options cover deli, salads and drinks.

Make it easy to carry

Sturdy carry bags, cup holders and stackable containers make orders easier for riders and customers. Consistent sizes also speed up packing in the kitchen.

Let the packaging carry your brand

Printed bags and boxes turn every delivery into brand exposure. Custom sizes, finishes and handles can be specified to suit your menu and identity.
