There’s no question that life is hectic. Between the stresses of work, hitting the gym and getting errands done, grocery shopping and cooking can fall down your list of priorities—even when your stomach is grumbling. Thankfully, meal prep delivery services are a great alternative to simply ordering pizza all the time (not that we’re knocking pizza, we’re still huge fans of all that cheese and sauce).
If you’re the owner of a preparation service, you know what it takes to operate your business while getting meals out the door and into the hands (or onto the doorsteps) of your customers. And packaging plays a big part in that.
Without the right supplies and protection, your meals may not survive the trip. And whether that’s from delivery damage or food spoilage, both can kill your business off quickly. Here’s the 4 packaging supplies you’ll need when shipping out food kits or prepared meals.
You’re performing a valuable service for your customers and shipping some fabulous (and vulnerable) meals. Using the right kind of packaging will not only announce the arrival of your delicious shipment, it’ll encourage customers to open it right away. Custom packaging can do that.
Preventing spoilage and bacteria growth is key when shipping prepared meals. Whether you’re shipping them frozen or chilled, you need the right supplies to keep them that way for as long as possible. Insulated packaging is the best way to achieve that.
Prepared meals aren’t judged by their freshness and taste alone. Despite their convenience and shipping requirements, customers still expect them to look appetizing and remain intact. Using proper food packaging, such as takeout containers, prevents waste and helps ensure meals looks delicious.
Napkins & Cutlery
Not all foods can be eaten by hand (no matter how much our adorable nieces and nephews claim otherwise!). Adding cutlery to your prepared food shipments can be a nice touch, letting customers know that you’ve thought about their hygiene needs (in addition to their nutritional ones). Don’t be afraid to be generous with the napkins. You can never, ever have too many napkins!
You’ll find all these supplies throughout both our food category and insulated category.
Keeping prepared meals intact, undamaged and unspoiled is made easier when you choose the right packaging supplies. You’ve put a ton of planning, effort and love into your creations, and seeing them go to waste is absolutely heartbreaking. With this list of food packaging supplies, you’ve got a solid start for creating the kind of packaging strategy that’ll serve you and your meal prep delivery services well.
