The demands on the food industry are ever increasing. Year-round supply means produce is travelling further while consumers still expect farm-picked flavour. More and more items are being delivered direct to the front door – fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, and, of course, ready-to-eat hot meals.
Packaging innovation is increasingly important to protect the flavour and quality of your products throughout delivery. Insulation technologies help save energy and extend safe delivery periods by maintaining products at the optimum temperature to keep the freshness sealed in.
Food can spoil quickly if it’s not stored properly. Our EPS and EPP transport boxes help solve this challenge - keeping produce fresh over long distances and reducing food waste, a major sustainability focus for the industry. But we know the food sector must also move away from its reliance on virgin plastics- and we’re stepping up. That’s why we’re investing in research and development to rethink how food is transported. Through our Planet Passionate programme, we’re accelerating change across our business to help tackle climate change and build a better world.
Are you making the most of opportunities within home delivery? Consumers expect the same high quality when they shop online as when they buy direct. Does your packaging reinforce the quality of your products, taking your brand into your kitchen? Work with us to identify the optimal materials and design for your packaging. Make sure hot products don’t just retain heat, but texture too. Smart ventilation in combination with insulating materials helps avoid condensation that causes foodstuffs such as chips and pizza to lose structure.
