Sustainable Development: Take Out Box Trends

As an economic model for long-term human development, sustainable development guides the advancement and development of society with scientific theories and methods, and such a scientific concept also brings many inspirations for take out packaging design. Takeaway packaging design needs to explore the way of humane, economical and green design from multiple channels, which is also the trend of future social development.

Structure - humanization

Requirement in the design needs to meet its heat preservation, sealing, not easy to leak, rupture deformation and other basic protection functions, but also in the take-away packaging design structure to fully consider the convenience of consumers before and after the meal.

1. Safe sealing

To ensure the safety of take-out in the delivery is reflected in the fact that the box will not spill soup due to transportation bumps or tilting, and the delivery staff cannot open it privately during the delivery process, so the safety of take-out in the transportation can be ensured through structural improvement.

2. Convenient way to open

Some take-out packaging is too tight in the case of pressure due to the box lid when opened, resulting in the problem of difficult to open. Takeout packaging structure design to increase the opening guide, or easy to open the auxiliary design to reduce the difficulty of consumers to open.

Cost - reduction

In response to the problem of increased costs due to the high loss rate reflected in excessive packaging for take-out, the cost can be reduced from the direction of development.
In actual production practice, the cost can be reduced by reducing the number of layers of packaging, packaging volume or the use of structural innovation to achieve cost reduction, that is, streamlining packaging. Take paper packaging as an example, "a paper-forming packaging structure is a reflection of the reduction of packaging, through the paper interpolation, folding and other ways to form a latch structure, and the formation of a portable take-out packaging.
And for plastic packaging boxes, can also use thin-walled technology, without affecting the quality of the packaging, by reducing the thickness of the box to achieve the reduction. Both can save materials and resources, and to a certain extent can also reduce the cost of output.

Material - sustainable

Takeaway packaging material sustainability mainly refers to the principle of safety, takeaway packaging materials will not affect people's health, contaminated food, and meet the standards of green packaging.

1. New paper packaging material

Paper packaging has better environmental performance: easy to recycle, easy to decompose, and malleable. Biodegradable food packaging materials such as plant fiber made of pulp-type packaging, the use of corn starch or crop straw as raw materials, natural pollution-free and low cost.

2. Biodegradable plastic material

The main biodegradable materials that can be used are PLA materials, using lactic acid as the raw material, which can functionally meet the requirements of the original plastic packaging materials and are suitable for foods with a lot of oil and soup.

Conclusion

The concept of sustainability has a crucial significance in guiding the progress and continuous development of human society. Under the prevalent diet of take-out, the future development trend of take-out packaging is explored for the problems arising from it. The trend of sustainable development will be to make take-out packaging more user-friendly in structure, less costly and more sustainable in material.
