Things To Know About Takeout Boxes

No matter where you are, you must have seen or eaten foods from Chinese takeout boxes. And you would have eaten pizza from a pizza box. One thing that you will agree on is that you subconsciously associate Chinese foods and pizza with takeout boxes and pizza boxes, respectively.

The design used on these boxes can have an additional impact on your mind. That is why you may be more inclined to buy from a brand that uses funky and colorful artwork on its takeout boxes. On the other hand, you will be less attracted to a brand that sells is Chinese foods in simple-looking takeout boxes. Any business opts for using a particular packaging design after taking into consideration many factors. The reason everything has to be right in the design of these boxes is that these boxes play a significant role in the marketing of Chinese foods being sold. That is why companies pay special attention to using the right colors, patterns, designs, and business logos.

The inside of takeout boxes is as important as the outside. It is the surface that has to deal with the food directly. The food, which is warm in most cases, can cause damage to the cardboard of any box. The inner surface of takeout boxes is, therefore, laminated to allow for warm food to remain fresh without causing any damage to the box.

Takeout boxes do not merely carry foods you order. They also bring a lot of other extras, which could be chopsticks, spoons, paper plates, or paper cups. Food companies must package these items in the same box along with the foods. That is where customization comes in. This customization is usually in the form of pockets that hold these utensils. These additional features make takeout boxes more unique and versatile. It is entirely up to the brand where and how to create these pockets.

A few important considerations are worth mentioning here.

• The kind and style of takeout boxes vary depending on the type of food. For instance, a takeout box to carry soup has to be designed to make carrying and storing soup convenient.
• To prevent spillage, make sure that the box is closed to standing upright.
• The box should be microwave friendly so that you can quickly reheat the food.
• The specifications for a takeout box made for a burger joint have to be completely different from those of a box made for carrying and storing soup. Since it has to carry different food items, including burgers, fries, and sauces, all at once, it has to have enough room for everything. Moreover, it should keep the food items fresh and secure.
• Taking the food out of this box should be convenient.
• You can use these boxes not only to carry food but also as food gift boxes.

If you want to use these boxes to promote your food brand, make sure to pay attention to the design and style of the boxes. You may need to discuss your requirements with your packaging supplier.
