How foodservice packaging makes a difference back-of-house

How foodservice packaging makes a difference back-of-house

Takeout continues to appeal to consumers, and packaging can make a huge difference in how the brand experience is perceived. However, well-designed packaging does far more than just look good - it can also be instrumental when it comes to foodservice back-of-house operations:

  • It helps ensure food safety. Packaging with optimal thermal properties as well as the requisite odour, vapour and moisture barriers helps ensure food arrives in peak condition, providing an extra layer of food safety while reducing food waste. 
  • It can contribute to optimising back-of-house operational space. Anyone who has ever worked in a professional kitchen knows that space tends to be lacking. Minimal and easily-sorted packaging can make things easier for employees while boosting productivity and maximising available space.
  • It guarantees regulatory compliance. Increasing attention is paid to ensuring that packaging is food safe, i.e does not significantly alter a food product’s composition, odour or taste, or affect human health. At the same time, regulatory bodies in the EU and US are keeping a close eye on controversial materials such as Bisphenol A (BPA) and pushing for more recyclable materials and the removal of smaller packaging items, such as straws.
