What does plastic-free packaging mean?

Plastic-free packaging means that it is made without the use of plastic, which is based on non-renewable fossil fuels and is difficult to break down in nature.Instead, at Weboksi we use cardboard. Cardboard is made from renewable natural sources and does not undergo polymerization (the process of binding monomers together to create polymers, i.e. plastics). Some packaging in our range uses a barrier coating on the inside to make it more resistant to sauces and fats. A barrier coating does not mean that the packaging uses plastic, it is still plastic-free.

We make the sustainability status of our products clear in the specifications. Our goal is to offer packaging solutions that fit our customers' needs without using plastic. However, it is worth mentioning that some food products, such as pastries or takeaway food, may require the use of plastic to handle liquids better than cardboard. Therefore, we use plastic in some packaging, the reason for this is that Weboksi wants to be a comprehensive packaging supplier.

Weboksi's strategy is to be a packaging supplier that helps companies find the most user-friendly and customized packaging for their needs, with an aim to minimize the use of plastic. We are constantly launching new products that some of our customers have helped us develop.

As a packaging supplier, we have observed a diversity of packaging needs in the takeaway market. Some restaurants have clear preferences for their packaging to be carefully tailored to their meals while others may not consider their packaging needs so much and would rather have packaging that is as simple as possible. At Weboksi, we have developed a range of takeaway packaging solutions to suit a variety of different meals. Depending on what you're selling, packaging that seems designed for one type of dish for one person may turn out to be perfect for another type of dish for someone else. As everyone has their own style, we encourage our customers to always explore our full range of take-away packaging. You can find the full range here.

Our takeaway packaging for hamburgers is a good example. This pack works primarily as a hamburger pack, but it can also be used for French fries and other side dishes. Some customers have even found that the same pack is ideal for serving pastries, thanks to its ability to perfectly accommodate a pastry and be easy to open.

Choosing the right packaging for takeaway food can be challenging, particularly if cost is your primary concern. However, several crucial factors should guide your decision:

• Barrier properties - Ensures the food stays fresh and enjoyable throughout the dining experience.
• Food safety - Packaging must comply with health and safety standards.
• Ease of use for consumers - Packaging should be convenient for your customers.
• Ease of use for the restaurant and food servers - Packaging should be straightforward to use and easy to fold and pack your food into.
• Sustainability - Look for materials that are environmentally friendly.
• Recyclability - Choose materials that can be fully recycled.

Remember also that it’s also crucial to use different packaging for hot and cold foods, as temperature affects both taste and safety.
