Events & Update

As food delivery has become an integral part of our lifestyle, selecting suitable takeaway packaging has become a crucial necessity for F&B restaurants. The right takeaway packaging not only preserves the quality and temperature of food but also enhances the overall customer experience and supports the restaurant’s brand image. In a competitive market, choosing the best takeaway packaging solutions can set your restaurant apart and ensure customer satisfaction.

Understand Your Packaging Needs

Choosing the right takeaway packaging starts with understanding your specific needs. Consider the types of food you offer, the distance of deliveries, and your customers’ preferences. Tailoring your packaging to your menu items ensures that the food reaches customers in the best possible condition.

 

Ensure Takeaway Packaging Integrity and Functionality

Functionality is crucial for takeaway packaging. The packaging must keep food fresh, warm, and intact during transport.

Key Features to Consider:

      • Durability: Choose materials that can withstand the rigors of delivery without tearing or leaking.

      • Insulation: Use packaging that maintains the temperature of hot or cold foods to ensure customer satisfaction.

      • Sealability: Ensure that lids and seals are secure to prevent spills and contamination.

    Product Suggestions for Packaging Integrity and Functionality:

    Paper Bowls or Containers: Highly versatile food packaging containers suitable for rice, noodles, pasta, soup, oden, fried snacks, and more. They also come with an innovative inner bowl tray with a lid that separates dry food and soup during packing. The food-safe PE laminated surface is ideal for both dry and saucy or greasy meals. Perfect for hot and room temperature food.

    Sugarcane Containers: 100% food safe and microwavable, also suitable for dry, greasy, and saucy food packing. Their molded structure ensures leakproof performance, and the textured outer surface enhances sturdiness.

    Plastic Containers: Cost-effective food containers with an ergonomic design that allows for stable stacking during food delivery. They are versatile for both dry and saucy food packing and are microwave and freezer safe.

     

    Prioritize Eco-Friendly Packaging

    Sustainability is no longer just a trend; it’s a necessity. Eco-friendly packaging options are gaining popularity among consumers who are becoming more environmentally conscious. Opt for materials such as biodegradable plastics, compostable containers, and recyclable paper. These choices not only reduce your restaurant’s carbon footprint but also appeal to a growing demographic of eco-aware customers in Malaysia.

    Benefits of Eco-Friendly Packaging:

        • Reduced Environmental Impact: Using sustainable materials helps in minimizing waste and pollution.

        • Enhanced Brand Image: Demonstrating your commitment to the environment can improve your brand’s reputation.

        • Customer Satisfaction: Eco-conscious customers are more likely to support businesses that align with their values.

      Our Eco-Friendly Options:

      Paper Bowls, Paper Cups, and Paper Bags: These paper products are biodegradable and easily recycled, making them an excellent choice for eco-friendly takeaway packaging.

      Sugarcane Containers: More than just biodegradable, these containers are compostable. This means they break down into natural elements in a compost environment, leaving no toxic residue. They are made from upcycled sugarcane fibers, supporting sustainable agriculture practices.

       

      Optimize for Branding Opportunities

      Takeaway packaging customization is an excellent medium for brand promotion. Customizing your packaging with your restaurant’s logo, colors, and contact information can significantly enhance brand visibility and customer recall. Most of our products are customizable for printing.

      Branding Tips:

          • Eye-Catching Design Use attractive designs that reflect your brand’s identity.

          • Clear Messaging: Include your restaurant’s name, logo, and maybe a brief message or slogan.

          • Contact Information: Add your website or social media handles to encourage repeat business.

         

        Right Size and Portion Control

        Choosing the right size of packaging for different menu items is crucial. Oversized containers can lead to food shifting during transport, while too-small containers can cause spillage.

        Size Considerations:

            • Portion Appropriateness: Select packaging that fits the portion sizes of your menu items perfectly.

            • Variety: Have a range of packaging sizes to accommodate different dishes, from appetizers to full meals.

            • Space Efficiency: Ensure that the packaging is stackable and space-efficient for storage and transport.

           

          Consider Cost-Effectiveness and Supply Delivery

          While cost, quality and supply delivery are always the key consideration.

          Here are some Cost-Saving Tips:

              • Bulk Purchasing: Buy packaging materials in bulk will help you get better rates.

              • Supplier Relationships: Build strong relationships with suppliers with repeat purchases may help you get steady rates. 

            Supply Delivery Tips:

                • Timely Deliveries: Work with suppliers who ensure on-time delivery to avoid disruptions in your takeaway service.

                • Reliable Partners: Choose suppliers with a proven track record for reliability and efficiency.

                • Inventory Management: Implement effective inventory management practices to keep track of stock levels and forecast future needs.

               

              Prioritize Customer Convenience

              Convenience is a key factor in customer satisfaction. Easy-to-carry and easy-to-dispose packaging can enhance the overall customer experience.

              Convenience Features:

                  • Handles and Carriers: Use packaging with handles or carriers for easy transport.

                  • Microwave-Safe Options: Offer microwave-safe packaging if your food may require reheating.

                  • Clear Instructions: Provide clear instructions for disposal, recycling, or composting.

                Product Suggestion:

                Paper Carrier Bags: Suitable for all kinds of usage, our paper carrier bags are durable and resistant to wear and tear. They are easy to carry, can be written on, and provide a practical solution for transporting multiple items.

                Sustainable materials are crucial for creating products that protect our planet. Bagasse, a by-product of sugarcane, is a leading material in the production of plastic-free straws and food containers. Known for its high sugar content, sugarcane is exceptionally efficient at photosynthesis, enabling rapid growth and abundant production.

                From Sugarcane to Eco-Friendly Bagasse: The Natural Process

                • Global Production and Sugarcane Straw Innovation:
                  Sugarcane, a tall plant harvested for sugar, reached a production of 1.85 billion tons in 2021, as reported by the World Bank. With a growth cycle of 12-18 months, it’s a reliable source for creating bio straws and sugarcane containers. After the juice is extracted, the leftover fibrous bagasse is transformed into valuable, sustainable products, reducing waste and environmental impact.
                • Manufacturing Eco-Friendly Bagasse Products:
                  Post-extraction, bagasse contains about 50% water. It’s dried and processed into pellets, resembling plastic pellets, but eco-friendly. These are then crafted into various products, including bio straws and food packaging supplies, showcasing bagasse’s versatility and sustainability.
                • Agricultural Evolution and Goodwill Through Sugarcane Cultivation:
                  Since the 19th century, sugarcane cultivation has evolved, resulting in varieties that are resilient to drought, heat, and pests. This advancement supports the production of sugarcane straws and containers, contributing to business goodwill by promoting sustainable practices in choosing raw material, without the fear of scarcity. 

                Why Bagasse is a Superior Choice for Disposable Food Packaging Suppliers & Consumers

                • Composting Advantage over PLA:
                  Unlike PLA, which needs high temperatures (up to 58°C) to decompose, bagasse breaks down in simple home compost setups at just room temperature, making it an ideal material for plastic-free straws and containers. This enhances its appeal for consumers and businesses aiming for sustainability.
                • Renewable and Zero-Waste:
                  Bagasse’s renewability ensures a consistent material supply without environmental depletion, contributing to zero-waste by turning agricultural by-products (waste) into valuable commodities.

                Bagasse in Everyday Life:

                Beyond a Bio Straw: Sugarcane Straw

                 

                Bagasse is transforming the food packaging industry. Sugarcane straws are a perfect alternative to plastic or even paper straw, offering durability, compostability, and neutrality in taste. They’re ideal for businesses looking to improve their environmental footprint and consumer appeal.

                Sugarcane Containers: The Aesthetic and Functional Choice in Food Packaging

                Beyond straws, sugarcane containers are revolutionizing food packaging, offering a practical and visually appealing solution for businesses committed to environmental stewardship. They can hold hot or cold items, don’t let oil through, and look good. Using bagasse for containers can improve brand image showing that your brand cares about the planet.

                 

                Ensuring Authenticity: The Importance of Home Compostable Certification 

                Given the market presence of PLA-containing bio straws which affects the compostability of the straw, verifying through certifications like “OK compost HOME” is crucial for sustainability claims and maintaining goodwill.

                To wrap up “Bagasse’s Role in Sustainable Industry Practices”

                Bagasse exemplifies the use of natural processes for sustainable material production, essential for businesses focused on reducing waste and promoting environmental health. Adopting sugarcane straws and sugarcane containers not only benefits the planet but also enhances business goodwill, improving brand image and customer satisfaction, making it a win-win for the industry and the environment.

                Sugarcane Straw


                Our sugarcane straws are made 100% from the recycled by product ie bagasse of sugar refining industry. Bagasse is the remaining plant fibers that need to be dealt with after the processing the sugarcane to produce sugar. Instead of letting it go into waste, these leftover plant fibers are made use to produce the 100% plant-based compostable sugarcane straw.

                Coffee Ground Straw

                Our coffee ground straw are made 100% from the recycled waste of each cup of coffee you had ie coffee grounds, the byproduct of the coffee brewing process. With the high coffee consumption, tons of coffee ground are produced daily and go into waste. Hence, recycling this waste has created a great ecosystem for the environment, businesses and the people.

                What is the best way to store and handle plant-based straw?

                To maintain the best durability and performance of the straws, it is advisable to:

                • Store it in a cool and dry environment, away from the sunlight
                • Avoid pressure or compression being made to the straws
