The takeaway packaging industry is experiencing a green and sustainable trend driven by multiple factors. Firstly, global emphasis on sustainability is on the rise, with governments worldwide actively implementing policies and standards to promote the green and low-carbon development of the takeaway industry. Secondly, consumer environmental awareness is rapidly increasing, with more people inclined to choose eco-friendly packaging and willing to pay extra for sustainable packaging. Simultaneously, catering businesses are actively following this trend, with eco-friendly packaging becoming an industry benchmark. As a result, more foodservice companies are responding positively by introducing distinctive eco-friendly packaging to establish new brand images.

According to reports, in 2021, China's catering industry reached an impressive 4.6895 trillion CNY, and this number is expected to surge to 5.5635 trillion CNY by 2025. As of the end of 2021, there were already 540 million takeaway users, with takeaway income accounting for 21.4% of total catering income. When choosing dining options, consumers are increasingly favoring the convenience of ordering takeout over dining in.

Functional Requirements for Takeaway Packaging

For takeaway packaging, besides preserving the taste of dishes when they reach consumers, there are high-performance demands. Long delivery times necessitate takeaway packaging that's waterproof, greaseproof, heat-retaining, breathable, and capable of withstanding high and low temperatures. Moreover, takeaway packaging needs to adapt to various situations during its journey from the restaurant to the consumer and eventual disposal, which means the packaging structure should be easy to handle, robust, leak-resistant, and have good visibility while remaining environmentally friendly. Additionally, packaging must effectively display the client's brand information to enhance their brand image.
