They will cover the lids of food containers. This makes it more difficult for the lid to accidentally open and for the product to fall out of the container. This is true both during transport and while the product is stored at home.

Paper containers are not the best solution for product information unless the side panels are printed. This is because they offer limited space. An alternative packaging solution for that problem are paper packaging sleeves. The use of QR codes should be included in your design plans.

As we already mentioned, paper sleeves offer more than enough usable space. This way all the important information about the restaurant’s product is available to the consumer. Ingredients list, nutritional values, and potential allergens in the product can make a big difference to a customer. Having this kind of food packaging ensures that all the vital information will be prominent and easy to read by consumers.

There are many things restaurants need to consider when shipping Food To Go and Take Away packaging. This means that sometimes we need to make compromises to be cost-efficient. Sometimes the price of the product simply can’t justify having fully customized packaging. Custom printed packaging sleeves offer the benefits of customization. This often comes at a much lower cost than other options.

When it comes to food, we all like to see what we are buying. The food needs to look appealing to make us crave it. Plain and bare food containers are sometimes not inviting enough to create the desire to re-order. Food container sleeves combine the benefits of the visible food and the appealing packaging. This creates a winning look for the product.

Food packages with QR codes allow for a reduction in paper printing and packaging so that the maximum amount of information can be given with the least amount of paper, extra plastic, and ink.

Having a QR code that shows origins, tracking, and ingredient information gives more comfort to consumers that care about food quality, health, and logistical information.

Customization makes your brand stand out to your customer immediately. It takes little time to design a beautiful QR code with your brand colors and logo. Placing a clear discount or social media source will let your customers know what to expect when scanning the QR code.

Customers enjoy receiving relevant information and special offers by scanning a QR code. Using incentives like discounts if they scan a QR code for downloading an app or following social media accounts, creates an exclusive offer they can’t refuse.

Scanned QR codes enable businesses to analyze the performance of each of the scans and the marketing campaign in general.

If you have a food business, and you want to share information regarding ingredients, health, and origin information while leaving more space on your packaging for a fresh design, now you can do it all! Do you want to emphasize the health benefits on the package but ensure safe origins and fair work practices where customers can check that at their convenience? Leave all the details on your website and add a QR code to give consumers the necessary information they need, while using less ink, paper, and plastic on the packaging.

Share exciting stories about how you created your brand with information on quality, ingredients and upcoming specials.

Being able to re-order any quantity from your e-commerce site can be done by clicking a QR code on the box or bowl and sending them straight to your site.

If social media platforms are where you advertise new products and seasonal promotions, then having a QR Code is the most convenient way to broadcast that on your packaging. Now create a two-way communication channel with your audience when they leave comments and suggestions.

Are you offering a discount if customers order more frequently? Is there a promotion you’ve teamed up with at a certain store? Now by clicking the QR code, get a coupon that gives out discounts to keep consumers coming back for more of your quality food products.

Restaurant stickers for takeout orders and delivery with general nutrition information on them can help a restaurant’s customers plan their daily nutrient intake, their calorie load for the day and/or any dietary restrictions. Rather than having to look up what they just ordered on Google, they’ll have the information close at hand on the food label stickers.

Of course, the food they will order will be amazing! But if a customer does not have the restaurant’s contact information, they might not remember just who delivered that delicious pad thai or those unforgettable burritos. With the restaurant’s phone number, hours of service, email address, website and other online platforms, address and various locations printed on food label stickers, they can remove the sticker and place it on a card or refrigerator magnet for a quick reminder.

Put the food’s preparation date and time on the restaurant stickers for takeout orders and delivery. Most restaurants are used to having people sit down to meals. Only a few take leftovers home after eating out. But habits have changed. Many people prefer to eat at home now – and will usually want to keep their leftovers for the next day’s meals. Adding the food’s preparation time and date will allow them to see by what date they need to finish the food by, keeping them safe from the risks of spoilage.

People that order food for larger families or groups need to know which dish goes to which person or group. When each order or dish lists what’s inside, it makes distributing the food easier once the customer goes home. It also makes it easier for third-party delivery services, such as DoorDash and Uber Eats drivers, to check each order without looking inside.

It shouldn’t be an issue – but we live in a dangerous world. Especially when it comes to delivery orders, you want to have the ultimate degree of trust in the person who delivers your food. Unfortunately, any of us who have ever driven for one of the “gig” companies know that screening isn’t exactly their strong suit, so tamper proof stickers are always a great idea.

With stickers to close every bag, every box, every package, you have tamper-evident seals that will give customers peace of mind. It’s hard to remove a sticker and put it back without some evidence. With stickers, drivers will be less likely to tamper or steal food from a stickered restaurant bag and will wait for an order from a restaurant that doesn’t use stickers for safety.

Make sure that the branding elements (the restaurant’s logo, colors, font, and tone) on the food sticker labels are the same as those used at the restaurant. These subtle touches create a lasting impression in a customer’s mind. Packaging Naturally’s design team can easily duplicate or create these from a photo, website, or a sample menu. A cohesive appearance can make the difference between a memorable experience and just another takeout joint. In fact, with the right packaging, you can build excitement even before the customer opens the package. Just like fabulous plating for sit-down meals, presentation counts in takeout and delivery, too – especially when you’re competing with so many restaurants for their business.

But don’t just believe us. The numbers tell the story. An Oberlo report points out that using a restaurant’s signature colors can boost revenue by as much as 80 percent. When you keep the restaurant’s food sticker labels consistent with the rest of its branding, it can increase revenue by up to 33 percent. Visuals matter – especially for most of the population who tend to learn visually.

Restaurants might even want to consider tossing a few extra branded food label stickers into each bag. If the customers love their meal, they might want to hand out some of your stickers for their friends and family. There’s nothing like word-of-mouth advertising with visual aids to spread the word. Studies show that 92% of consumers believe their trusted friends’ and families’ recommendations more than even the most effective ads.

The more people that keep those stickers on their refrigerator doors, their office computers, or on a card in their file, the more that they’ll turn to your restaurant when they want a quick lunch or the perfect meal for a date night at home. When it comes to food labels, it pays to have plenty on hand.

Here at Packaging Naturally, our design team can create food safety stickers and the kind of magic your restaurant needs to inform your customers, keep them safe, differentiate its brand, and encourage repurchases and word-of-mouth recommendations. And – we can deliver them to your restaurant quickly.
