Frequently Asked Questions
Is paper food packaging better suited for hot food or cold food?
Paper packaging can be used to store either hot or cold food. Due to advancements in the manufacturing process of the paper used in packaging, paper containers can withstand the effects of heat or cold, although they should not be exposed to extreme temperatures.
Can I ensure food is sealed securely with paper packaging?
Our paper food containers are designed with interlocking flaps to keep them closed, which can prevent spills in most cases, especially for dry food. However, for instances in which this is insufficient, we also offer lidded trays for a more secure sealing option.
Will food spoil faster in paper packaging?
No, food does not spoil faster in paper packaging. While paper food containers are typically less airtight in comparison to plastic containers, in most cases they are suitable for storing food for a reasonable period of time. However, this depends on the type of food, so paper food packaging is typically used with food that is meant to be consumed soon.
Does hot or wet food damage paper food packaging?
The paper used in packaging material is resistant to the typical conditions of food served, meaning it will not degrade when carrying hot or wet food. In fact, there are paper bowls that are designed for serving hot soup, that are sturdy and will not tear or leak.
Are paper food packaging options less versatile than alternatives?
While other materials such as aluminium and plastic can be moulded into a wider range of shapes, paper can be folded into a reasonably large number of configurations too. For instance, paper food boxes can be designed with built-in compartments to hold various accompaniments to a dish. While specific cases may call for the use of alternatives, paper packaging is suitable for most uses.
