Which Eco-Friendly Food Wrapping Paper Should Your Brand Use?

😋 Picture this: you’re in a cafe and are about to dig into the mightiest stacked sandwich full of your favorite fillings.

Marinated meats? Most definitely. Crisp, fresh greens? Check. An enchanting cheese pull? Chef’s kiss.

And the first bite is as phenomenal as you imagined. Yum!

But then – slip, slide, sludge, and ugh. A giant glob of sauce lands right on your lap on your good pair of pants.

We’ll let your imagination fill in the extensive cleaning job that follows after a satisfying but ultra-sloppy chow down. We can also bet that this has happened far too many times to count to customers (and too many outfits ruined!)

Having customers fork and knife your most stuffed sandwiches, salads, and shawarmas shouldn’t be on the table, especially if it introduces single-use plastics into your eatery. After all, 40,000,000,000 plastic cutlery and takeout packaging are used and thrown away each year. Big yikes!

If your restaurant or cafe serves food for either dine-in or to-go, we have a more sustainable option. Rest assured, your customers’ Sunday best will be safe from saucy accidents when your delicious digs are protected and wrapped in eco-friendly food packaging.

The answer is in the wrapping – sustainable food wrap paper, that is!

🍽 Plate an effortless customer experience

Food wrapping paper is a type of packaging intended to wrap around the product and protect it from surfaces. It’s also a surefire way to keep sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and more intact without affecting the quality or taste of food.

The benefits of wrapping your food in food wrapping paper include providing a more convenient way for customers to handle food in their hands or when packed for takeout. Most food wrap is greaseproof paper, so when customers dig in at your establishment or in the comfort of their own homes, food is still fresh and held together.

✨ Elevate your restaurant's dine-in and takeout atmosphere

Your fantastic food, of course, does most of the talking to establish your brand and interest customers. But with many folks ordering takeout or dining outdoors, it’s still important to consistently present your brand to make the experience even more memorable.

Customers love when their orders come more dressed up instead of arriving on a plain background since it indicates a brand’s thoughtful attention to detail. Even better, when a unique design or branding is displayed throughout your product’s packaging, customers are 40% more likely to share and post about the experience on social media.

Your establishment might have to brace itself for longer lines out the door!

🌯 The eco-friendly food packaging solution to single-use plastics

According to 67% of American consumers, many prefer product packaging to be made of paper or cardboard, which are more sustainable materials.
