How does protective packaging influence the consumer?

The functions of protective packaging

This first point is particularly important because it serves as the basis for the protective packaging. Protective packaging has five functions that need to be fulfilled. These are the functions of protection, storage, transport, manipulation and information.

Protective function

First of all, protective packaging plays an important role in food protection and preservation. But protective packaging is also important for delivery services as well as for takeaways. Customers prefer their meals to stay hot in the package. They want food delivered while still hot, hence the importance of protective packaging that retains heat and does not allow food to cool.

Storage function

Protective packaging also has an important storage function. This means that protective packaging helps organize your business. There is suitable protective packaging for each drink or dish. You need suitable protective packaging if you own a restaurant and want to offer a delivery service. To do this, do not hesitate to consult our online store. You should organize a space in your business where you can store your protective packaging to facilitate your next deliveries and continue to offer take-out meals for sale.

Transport function

Protective packaging is important to ensure the success of your next deliveries. That's why you have to choose the right protective packaging. For example, a double-walled cup should be used to sell hot drinks, whereas single-walled paper cups are ideal for cold drinks. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. The transport function is very important! Especially because customers want the protective packaging to be comfortable enough to transport food and keep it warm, for example.

Manipulation function 

The protective packaging handling must be practical for your employees who prepare the orders. It must also be possible for the customer to transport and open the protective packaging without problems.

Information function

The last package function that remains for us to fulfill is the information function. It can inform about ingredients, calories, content or about your business. This function is important because it informs customers of important points.

What are the ingredients?

It is important, especially for food, that the ingredients are represented on the protective packaging so that your customers know what is in your products. This is important if someone has allergies to a particular ingredient or can't tolerate certain ingredients well.

How many calories does this dish or drink contain?

As a general rule, it is mandatory for supermarket products and restaurants to print a calorie table on the protective packaging or display it in restaurants. This is important to give consumers indications for their health.

Where was the protective packaging made, or what sub-company made the protective packaging?

Another company may manufacture the protective packaging. This can be indicated directly on a protective packaging label.

We also have the option of sticking an eco-label on the protective packaging. This shows customers that the protective packaging produced meets certain environmental standards and labels. Again, this helps the company to build customer confidence.

Protective packaging design: choosing colors, shapes and materials

A printed To-Go protective packaging also needs the right shape, color and material. Your protective packaging should be as attractive as possible, pleasant to carry and suitable for eating delicious meals. Pantone colors play an important role in the world of protective packaging.

Eco-friendly protective packaging: why is it so important?

You want to offer the best to your customers!

In this case, you need a partnership with an organization certifying your products. For example, supporting a sustainability project. FSC paper can also be a good solution because the FSC logo guarantees the sustainable use of trees and thus combats uncontrolled deforestation.

In short, protective packaging has a real influence on consumers' purchasing power. Therefore, the choice of material and design is decisive.
