The last thing your customers want to deal with is cold or squashed food. Similarly, wet or damaged catering containers can leave a bad taste in their mouths. Increase customer satisfaction with catering packaging that can withstand the rigors of transport with its structure intact, leading to a better overall consumer experience.

If you’re a business owner in the food industry, it’s important to take advantage of new trends in catering and food service packaging. More than half (53%) of businesses plan to increase their spending on catered meals in the latter half of 2024. That indicates there is a large market for quality catering boxes. Corrugated boxes are a durable and affordable option for your catering products. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of using corrugated catering boxes.

The Benefits of Corrugated Catering Boxes

How do you sift through the many different options on the market when deciding on your packaging solution? First, you should consider the factors that are most important for your catering packaging: maintaining heat and structural integrity while also adding visual appeal. Corrugated boxes have all of these qualities and more. Here, we’ll further examine each of these benefits to fully understand how you can transform your catering packaging with corrugated boxes.

A Durable Option to Keep Food Safe

Corrugated boxes are multi-layered, making it a more durable and flexible option than traditional chipboard. Durability is a key consideration for catering food because heat, moisture, and other factors can impact material strength and integrity. Corrugated catering boxes, however, will keep food secure and provide heat retention properties, without compromising the box itself.

Corrugated packaging is beneficial for packaging for catering food, and since 1971, Arvco has been committed to perfecting this high-quality option. We have a variety of certifications that demonstrate our dedication to quality, including our ISO 9001 certification and AIB approved Distributed Center status.

It’s important to note that quality is built into our processes at Arvco. For example, we have extensive third-party package testing services where your packaging is thoroughly inspected prior to moving into production. With our superior testing capabilities and advanced inspection equipment, we ensure the durability of your corrugated catering boxes so you can rest assured that your catering products won’t be compromised.

A Lightweight Choice for Transit

Not only will corrugated catering boxes keep your food secure, but they are a lightweight option for transit, whether that is delivery or shipping. This is also advantageous for reducing shipping costs that are often based on weight, thus making it a more cost-effective option.

Design consultation services go a long way in ensuring that your catering packaging is both lightweight and durable enough to transport your catering product, before the packaging even reaches production. You can trust your catering food to arrive safely and intact at its intended destination, increasing customer satisfaction and improving your overall business reputation.

Customizable Solutions to Enhance Brand Recognition

Additionally, you can customize your corrugated catering boxes to increase brand awareness, add promotional messages, introduce menu items, or update graphics with seasonal messages. In a recent survey, 72% of Americans agree that packaging design affects their purchasing decisions, so you need to make sure your catering boxes stand out with custom packaging designs.

Graphic design support will ensure your corrugated packaging has visual appeal to entice and engage your customers. In-house graphic design support can create full-scale product mockups or computerized renderings so that you can fully envision your packaging before it moves onto production. Craft unique and one-of-a-kind corrugated catering boxes to enhance the overall customer experience.
