Choosing packaging by food type: a HoReCa guide

Choosing packaging by food type: a HoReCa guide

Hot, cold, greasy or liquid food — the right material for restaurants and catering.

Restaurants, cafés and caterers pack many types of food every day. The right packaging protects food, brand and margins. By temperature • Hot food — aluminium, PP or paper containers with lids. • Cold food and salads — PET/rPET or paper with clear lids. • Hot drinks — double-wall paper cups; cold drinks — PET cups. By food type Greasy food needs grease-resistant materials; acidic food and sauces are best in PP or aluminium; liquids need tight lids. Cost vs experience The cheapest option isn't always the best value — leaks mean unhappy customers. Combine basic containers with better packaging for best-sellers. Sustainability Paper, board and aluminium recycle easily. The full HoReCa range is in the Пакувај.МК online shop.
