As dietary consumption habits change at every moment, takeaway, food delivery, and prepared food are becoming the norm. Simple packaging cannot meet the requirements of the future market.

According to the investigation, the consuming behavior of people has dramatically changed during the pandemic, including changing to takeout (26.2%), buying the hoarding of convenient prepared food(12.9%) and food delivery (10.2%).

These consuming behavior changes have a significant impact on meals served ways and types.

Although in the same cooking method, the restaurant industry might not put much effort into food presentation.

However, is it accomplished when you pack a dish into a package for sale?

The crucial influence is quality packaging. The package material which was not considered the most important in the past, but nowadays they need to adapt to market change.

Temperature is a crucial key to successful takeaway and food delivery service in the cooked food market.

The proportion of takeaway and food delivery services is increasing every year.

Besides menu design, the situation that the restaurant industry faces the most is when consumers get food from the delivery service, hot food turns cold due to the time spent for delivery.

Even though the quality of food delivered is the same, in Chinese culture, eating hot meals is a vital and deep-rooted dietary habit.

“The big challenge of the food delivery market is the flavor of cooked food will be affected when the food becomes colder,” says Chief Brand Officer Van Lin of Denwell Group.

The restaurant industry cannot stop in the past. They need to solve the problem and keep the food warm to expand their food delivery service.

The level of easiness of packing affects the efficiency of food preparation. Quality packaging needs to be integrally formed.

The restaurant industry needs to be fast and accurate, packing should be simplified.

In the past, most lunch box designs for takeaway and food delivery were square and round. If sellers demand more advanced textures, they will choose plastic material.

But it’s also inconvenient. If you use rubber bands to tie the covers on the boxes, there might be leakage. It is inefficient when you spend more time tying the rubber bands.

Besides, if you cannot pile them on one another, it will affect the practicability while delivering. After the bumpy delivery, nothing remains the same.

It will affect the eating experience when consumers get their meals.

Temperature and the way of cooking affect the durability of packing material.

The “applicability” of the quality packaging material is more complicated than you might imagine.

Usually, restaurant sellers do not understand much about the durability of packing material.

Transparent packing materials used for preparing food on the market, but these might not be suitable for your products.

When we pack food in a plastic bag or use a vacuum sealer, the food do not come out. It doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a quality packaging.

Actually, we have to consider many things, including the form(solid, liquid), how the food is processed(braised, fried), the storage temperature(frozen storage, cold storage), the way consumers eat food(open and eat, heat up by putting the unopened package in water), etc.

We need to understand packing materials thoroughly because some unsuitable materials will become embrittled when frozen or release toxins when heated.

If the food is easy to get crumbled, soft packaging is not suitable for it.
