According to relevant reports, the size of China's catering industry reached an impressive 4.6895 trillion yuan in 2021, and it is expected to soar to 5.5635 trillion yuan by 2025. Notably, by the end of 2021, the number of food delivery users had reached 540 million, and delivery revenue accounted for 21.4% of the total catering revenue. When choosing dining options, consumers ordered food delivery significantly more often than dining in, indicating that an increasing number of consumers prefer the convenience of food delivery.
Due to the typically long transportation and waiting times associated with food delivery, the packaging needs to possess several key features. These include waterproof, oil-proof, insulation, breathability, and resistance to high and low temperatures, to adapt to different environments and transportation conditions. Additionally, throughout the entire supply chain—from the restaurant to the consumer, and even to the final disposal stage—food delivery packaging must be flexible enough to accommodate various scenarios. Therefore, the packaging structure should be easy to open, practical, sturdy, durable, leak-resistant, and highly visible, while also having eco-friendly attributes. Moreover, the packaging should effectively showcase the customer's brand information, thereby enhancing the brand image.
YUTOECO has been actively dedicated to providing green and sustainable solutions for the food delivery industry, aiming to meet the growing demands and challenges. Our goal is to address various issues in food delivery packaging, ensuring that food remains in optimal condition throughout the entire transportation and delivery process.
· Waterproof and Oil-Proof
At YUTOECO, we offer a variety of waterproof and oil-proof solutions for food delivery packaging. Our standard solution involves adding food-grade waterproof and oil-proof agents to the pulp, which are molded together with the food containers to achieve waterproof and oil-proof functionality in molded pulp packaging. This solution is suitable for a wide range of temperatures, easily handling everything from refrigeration to microwave heating. For food with high water and oil content, such as soups and noodles, we typically use coating solutions or functional coatings to enhance the packaging's waterproof and oil-proof properties, ensuring it can hold such foods for extended periods.
· High and Low-Temperature Resistance
In addition to ensuring waterproof and oil-proof performance, resistance to high and low temperatures is another key consideration for the food service industry. YUTOECO uses a unique high and low-temperature-resistant formula, allowing food containers to remain stable at temperatures up to 220°C, making them suitable for packaging and storing various high-temperature foods. At the same time, under extreme low temperatures of -40°C, molded pulp containers will not experience any performance changes.
· Practical Structural Design
YUTOECO focuses on the practical structural design of packaging. We use unique structural designs and material applications to ensure that the packaging features convenience, sealing, durability, and visibility during use. This includes leak-proof designs, transparent plant fiber windows, easy stacking and retrieval designs, and the use of reinforcement ribs. These designs address potential structural issues that food delivery packaging may encounter during transportation and use, making it more convenient for consumers to enjoy their food.
· Customized Surface Printing
To better convey customers' brand information, packaging often needs to feature printed logos, patterns, and more. This demand can be met using food-grade eco-friendly inks, embossing, laser effects, and other methods to print designs on the food containers. This not only enhances the visual experience of the packaging but also makes it easier for consumers to recognize and remember the brand.
· Eco-friendly New Materials
To meet consumers' demand for eco-friendly packaging, we offer a variety of new eco-friendly materials such as sugarcane bagasse, bamboo fiber, grass, and hemp. These types of food containers can degrade in natural conditions within 90 days after use, causing no environmental pollution.
In the future, YUTOECO will continue to innovate and introduce more solutions for food delivery packaging, such as plant-based, fluorine-free oil-proof solutions, insulation solutions, and breathable solutions. We are committed to meeting the ever-evolving needs of the food delivery industry and providing customers with more sustainable, high-performance packaging solutions.
