If you have already decided to enter the world of food delivery service, you will know that there are many points you must take into account to take your place to the highest level and thus significantly increase your sales. You can consult here our Delivery Guide, in which we explain, point by point, the keys to having your delivery. 

One of the key points is that your food arrives in perfect condition, and the customer can enjoy a good experience from their own home. To do this, you will have to make sure that the packaging you will use is the ideal one for the product that will be transported. Stay to discover all the types of packaging for food delivery and which is the right one for each type of food.

Types of packaging for delivery

The packaging of your restaurant, bar or cafeteria is part of your operations and logistics, so it is essential to establish what protective packaging you will use so that your food reaches the consumer in perfect condition. We can classify the types of packaging based on different criteria. 

Materials

·         Cardboard or paper. It is a major product used in businesses that have fast food, such as noodles, pizza, or hamburgers. They keep the heat very well and usually go with a layer of waterproofing or resin. One of the great advantages of this type of material is that it can be personalized by printing your restaurant's logo, differentiating you from the rest of the competition. 

·         Recyclable aluminum. It is indicated for foods that need to keep the heat and contain many hot sauces, such as roasts or stews. We also find in this section the aluminum foil, which is usually used as a secondary wrap in hamburgers, so they retain extra heat on delivery. 

·         Recyclable plastic. In some restaurants, it is essential to transfer their dishes in plastic wrappers, so we recommend using the most sustainable option and using recyclable plastics that contribute to the environment. It is widely used in businesses transporting sushi, pasta, rice, or salads. Here we provide more information about regulating single-use plastics in the hospitality industry.

·          Size: Determining the perfect size for your type of food will help it suffer damage due to shrinkage and movement within the container.

·         Large recommended for meals such as pizza, paellas, roasts or cakes.

·         Small, recommended for hamburgers, sushi, noodles, pasta, etc.

·          Clasp type

·         Hermetic is mainly used in dishes that contain sauces or more fatty products since this way, and we guarantee that they do not come out of the container. 

·         With a tab, it is perfect for more solid foods, which have no possibility of leaks.  

7 requirements that your packaging must meet.

1. Protection and hygiene. You have to have a container whose material is suitable for food use that allows you to keep the food in perfect condition during the journey. We recommend that you also add an opening witness to the containers to guarantee the customer the security that the product has not been opened after its preparation.

2. Optimize the space well, and make the transport of food safe, avoiding leaks or movements that harm the presentation of your plate.

3. Sustainable. They are not single-use plastics that pollute the environment and use biodegradable or recyclable materials to help reduce environmental impact.

4. Thermal insulation. Use insulated containers if your food needs to stay hot and cold during transport. Remember to separate cold foods from hot ones in separate bags. 

5. Complements: Make sure that you include all the necessary complements so that the client can enjoy the experience, as well as chopsticks in the case of sushi, cutlery in the case of pasta, or sauces in the case of hamburgers.

6. Presentation. The image with which you present your dishes is important both on the premises and outside it, so the dish must appear appetizing.

7. Communication. Take the opportunity to personalize the chilled packaging with your logo or corporate colors to make it more visual and differentiate yourself from the competition. Build customer loyalty by adding promotions or discount codes for future purchases.
