FOOD & HOSPITALITY
GOOD FOOD DESERVES GOOD PACKAGING.
From bakeries and cafés to farm shops, makers and takeaways, food packaging has a very practical job to do.
This is where we share useful ideas for packing, presenting and handing food to customers without making it more complicated than it needs to be.
KEEP IT PRACTICAL
START WITH THE FOOD.
What are you serving? How will it be carried, stored or eaten? Does it need grease resistance, visibility, structure or simply something straightforward to hold it?
The best packaging usually starts with those questions rather than the packaging itself.
THE EVERYDAY STUFF
PACKAGING THAT WORKS IN THE REAL WORLD.
A few simple considerations can make food packaging easier to choose, easier to use and better suited to the thing going inside it.
MATCH THE BAG TO THE FOOD
THINK ABOUT THE JOURNEY
MAKE IT EASY TO USE
A USEFUL RULE
DON'T OVERCOMPLICATE THE PACKAGING.
Good packaging does its job without getting in the way.
If a simple paper bag protects the product, presents it well and works for the customer, adding extra layers usually isn't an improvement.
WORTH REMEMBERING
THE FOOD COMES FIRST.
Packaging should support the product, not compete with it.
Start with what the food needs, choose something that does that job well, then keep the rest simple.
