What is the delivery of food?

Previously, dishes were delivered as needed - in metal boxes, paper, or even in napkins. Now, delivery services have a wide variety of packaging at their disposal - boxes for pizza made of corrugated cardboard, special boxes for noodles, plastic containers, thermal bags that retain the heat and aroma of dishes.

Packaging is divided into individual, group and transport. Food delivery packaging is an individual transport packaging.

The most common packaging is all kinds of cardboard boxes. Cardboard is used for its affordability, environmental friendliness and decorative possibilities through high and low circulation printing. In addition, cardboard for different products differs in their parameters.

Pizza & Pie Boxes

Boxes for pizza and pies are made of multi-layer (usually three-layer) laminated corrugated cardboard or micro corrugated cardboard. Corrugated board is used for its strength and thermal insulation properties. Lamination is done to improve the appearance and improve the quality of printing on the box. The courier should hold out a box of hot pizza or Ossetian pie with one hand, and the box should not wrinkle or even open slightly. A mandatory attribute of pizza and pie delivery boxes is the presence of holes in the boxes for air access to avoid excessive accumulation of moisture. The corners of the boxes can be either straight or beveled. A distinctive feature of some pizza boxes is the perforation of the box lid, which allows you to conveniently and quickly divide the pizza into portions.

Ossetian pies are packed very hot, straight from the oven. Therefore, a feature of boxes for the delivery of Ossetian pies is the use of the densest three-layer corrugated cardboard (for example, T-24), which retains its strength and other properties even at very high temperatures and humidity.

Delivery boxes for noodles and other fast food

Boxes for delivery of noodles and other fast food are made from various types of cardboard boxes. To do this, choose fat-resistant and heat-resistant brands. Usually such packaging is colorfully decorated in the corporate colors of the restaurant.

Boxes for delivery of noodles and Chinese cuisine in general are distinguished by their tight construction and special gluing of the seams. This is to prevent hot food and sauces from leaking out. Often these boxes can be reheated in the microwave.

Chinese food and hamburger boxes

Plastic packaging for food delivery

The second packaging option is various plastic containers and containers. The advantages of such packaging are low price, varied appearance and shape. Therefore, it is easy to find the right option for each type of food and serving size. Such packaging can be made from polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, expanded polystyrene and other materials. Such a container is obtained by the methods of pneumatic and thermoforming, pressing, injection molding and blowing.

Packaging for the delivery of soup and other liquid meals and meals with significant amounts of sauce must be sealed to prevent spills. Also, during transportation, the lid must be tightly closed, therefore, most often special locking elements are used, and the lid is removed only after they are removed.
