How to save time and money with packaging
Food packaging – pretty “convenient.”
Practical, convenient and comfortable: anyone who looks up “convenient” in an English dictionary will find this translation. So-called convenience food packaging can save you time, material and resources in the name. With which “practical” packaging can you make your work easier?
Food packaging has many tasks: displaying beverages and foods in a delicious way and transporting them safely, enabling clean consumption, and providing you as a supplier with pleasant handling and filling. Convenience Packaging does this – and offers even more.
Manufacture in packaging
Paper baking pans coated with silicone are suitable for sales packaging and baking pans at the same time. They make cakes, quiches and other shapes of delicacies and put the finished products on the counter. There, they are attractive, and you can give them over to the customer directly in the form and give them away.
Portion in advance
Mass production of food allows you to work efficiently in the kitchen. The sealing device helps you divide meals immediately and pack them safely and hygienically. To do this, put the food in a suitable bowl and seal it with aluminium foil with the help of equipment. Inside, your food will also last longer. Your customers only have to peel off the film before consumption and can even put the peel in the microwave.
Napkin included
A napkin is usually enough to provide customer service if you sell snacks such as sandwiches or focaccia. However, when it is sold, it means that it needs to go one step further in packaging. If you use the snack porchetta as a bag, the napkin is already integrated into the packaging. All you have to do is put the snack behind the counter and deliver it to your customers in a hygienic manner. This also ensures that you only provide one napkin per bag, thus saving you money. A cutlery set is provided in the take-away area for large meals, including a cutlery pack and napkins.
Efficiently cover tables
Knife and fork should not be missing at a laid table – as well as a napkin. The two have been combined on a table napkin. Simply insert a knife, fork or spoon into the slot of the folded napkin and place it on the table or buffet. This makes it easy to prepare blankets or to do it quickly during operation when setting the table for a new guest.
Packaging at lightning speed
Convenience packaging is characterized by the fact that it is a well-thought-out construction. Its manufacturing method makes the packaging process very simple and fast. On the one hand, you can save material because the closure is already integrated; on the other hand, if the packaging is ready for use as soon as possible, you can, of course, save time.
Simply erected
A classic element of convenience packaging is the automatic floor. It straightens in the cardboard box as if by magic. Not only does the box close quickly at the bottom, but it is also secure. Such a flash base is available with different packaging, from the snack folding box to the pastry carrier box to the shipping box.
Closed with a handle
Easy to seal – This is not only suitable for convenient packaging on the ground. With the integrated closure, you can also pack comfortably. Designs vary: for example, there are boxes with self-adhesive closures, boxes with plug-in closures, or aroma bags with a pressure closure.
Well packed all around.
The packing is especially easy to use in one piece. Therefore, a menu box or a transparent box with a lid is suitable for the take-away business. You can fill the food immediately and close the package without using an additional lid.
Film unrolling for professionals
In addition to the actual packaging, the associated device can also be “convenient”. If you use plastic wrap or aluminium foil, use a special dispenser to save time and materials. They rolled up the film without wrinkles and separated it precisely. The material is immediately ready for its next use, and the roller is quickly replaced after use.
One packaging – multiple functions
As mentioned at the beginning, the packaging is very useful. It is particularly practical if a package can complete multiple tasks at the same time and does not require a separate package for each function. Which products can be used to obtain the “all-in-one” solution?
Packaging & Carrying Aid
Packaging is primarily used to ensure that the product from point A to point B safely. If the sales package is also used as a transportation aid, material costs can be saved. After all, this eliminates the carrier bag. Such convenient packaging includes a pastry carrier box or a bottle carrier box.
Decorative sealing
Packaging must be not only fit for purpose but also appealing. If your bag does not offer an integrated closure, you can choose a decorative one: close the bag with a clip that is provided with a decorative bow.
Cleanly served and consumed
In addition to taste, safety and cleanliness are also at the core of food sales. Special snack bags can meet these requirements particularly conveniently. For example, oven bags are ideal for hot snacks: you can package and display your products in them, heat the snacks on a contact grill or in an oven, and give them to your customers. Since the heat-resistant paper does not heat up, the packaging is very edible and very hygienic. Cold sandwiches can be conveniently packed in a snack bag; you just need to roll up the food to protect its surroundings. The bag has a clear viewing window that your customers can easily tear off before eating. It is still a paper bag, which ensures that your fingers are free of grease and crumbs during the meal.
