One Package, Many Uses
Packages are often associated with a specific purpose based on their name alone. A sushi tray is automatically linked to sushi, a wrap box to wraps and a Bistro® container to ready meals. In practice, however, the same package can be suitable for many different products.
When one familiar package serves multiple purposes, everyday operations become easier: less storage space is needed and ordering remains simple.
In this blog, we present packages that are used creatively in different situations. You may find a new idea for your own products as well.
Aluminium Tray – From Christmas Classics to Summer Delicacies
For many, aluminium trays are primarily associated with the Christmas season. They are ideal for preparing traditional casseroles such as rutabaga, carrot and potato casserole, which can be easily transported and sold in the same tray. Many consumers also serve the food directly from the tray, making it a practical solution from preparation to serving.
The same tray works well throughout the year. Potato casseroles, macaroni casseroles, gratins and creamy potato dishes can be prepared just as easily as roasted root vegetables and grilled vegetables. Aluminium trays also help when catering for special diets, as dishes can be prepared separately from other products. Their use is not limited to savoury foods either – they are equally suitable for archipelago bread and loaf cakes.
The clear anti-fog lid keeps products visible without condensation, making presentation easier especially for takeaway meals and bakery products.
Bistro® Container – From Lunch to Display Cabinet
The black Bistro® container is a versatile choice for ready meals, takeaway portions and meal prep. It is well suited for salads, bowls, pasta dishes, rice meals and even spring rolls.
The Bistro® container also works well in display cabinets. Thanks to the black base and clear lid, pizza slices, pies, pancakes, filled crêpes and omelette rolls stand out attractively.
The container is suitable for both cold and hot foods. Meals can be served directly from the container, and cold dishes can easily be reheated in a microwave without the lid.
SAPAP Paperboard Container – Hot Meals To Go
The SAPAP paperboard container with PP coating is specifically designed for hot food packaging. It withstands heated display cabinets, making it a practical choice for takeaway meals from service counters.
In addition to its heat resistance, the container is suitable for a wide variety of foods. Pasta dishes, curries, ramen and noodles work well, as do pulled pork and dishes served with sauces. Traditional meals such as meatballs with mashed potatoes or chicken with rice are also an excellent fit.
The PP lid and plastic coating help keep food fresh and protected during transport. The paperboard exterior gives the product a stylish appearance that works equally well in lunch restaurants and retail displays. Several size options are available for different packaging needs.
LARSU – More Than Just a Sushi Tray
Our LARSU container is well known as a sushi tray, but its use is certainly not limited to sushi. It is an excellent choice for cold products such as tapas, cheeses, cold cuts, berries and fruit. LARSU is easy to take along for a picnic or a quick meal on the go.
Various baked goods, such as sweet buns, pies and cake slices, also fit perfectly in the container.
The black base and clear PET lid help products stand out. Colourful fruit, assortments of cold cuts and neatly arranged cake portions look appealing already in the display cabinet. The black base creates contrast that enhances the product’s appearance without additional presentation.
Window Wrap Box – More Than Just Wraps
The window wrap box is designed for wraps and rolls, but it also works well for many other grab-and-go products. It is an excellent choice for burritos, tortilla rolls, filled omelettes and crêpes.
The wrap box can also be used for sweet products such as Nutella rolls and churros.
The clear PET window makes the product immediately visible in the display cabinet. The wrap box is an excellent packaging solution for smaller snacks intended for immediate consumption.
Versatility with One Packaging Solution
One package can serve surprisingly many purposes. The most important thing is to ensure that the material and other properties are suitable for the product. Once that has been confirmed, the same package can often be used in a variety of ways.
When a suitable package is already available for a new product, inventory management becomes lighter and ordering remains simple.
A practical packaging solution is often closer than you might think. If you are still looking for the right option, we are happy to help you find the best solution for your products.
