Food Packaging: Paper vs. Plastic

▶Plastic Packaging

The food packaging that is plastic is manufactured using petroleum products. It is strong and can take any type of food. What’s it great for?

• Leak-proof: Say hello to gravy and soups!
• Holds heat well: Keeps your takeout warm longer.
• See-through: Customers can peek at their meal.

Downsides?

• Not biodegradable: Most plastic ends up in landfills or oceans.
• Bad brand image: Customers today prefer green packaging.

So, what’s the takeaway?

If you care about the planet, want to make your brand look modern and still serve up food in style, paper packaging is the smart move. And the best part? Companies like Uchampak have improved paper packaging so much, you might not even miss the plastic.
