With the Eat Out to Help Out scheme now at an end, the restaurant and hospitality sector needs to find new and creative ways to attract diners to their venues in order to stay afloat as Covid-19 continues to hit the industry hard.

With government guidelines to help keep customers and staff members safe affecting takeaways, bars and restaurants, a slew of new processes and working procedures are being put in place to help customers eat out with confidence.

One of the ways that businesses can welcome diners to their Covid-19 secure venues is by offering disposable food packaging and place settings. Single-use solutions help to keep visitors and staff safe. Let's look at some of the common questions surrounding these products:

What types of disposable food packaging and place settings are available?

From disposable paper cups to printed greaseproof paper that can be used as place settings, single-use menus or for wrapping cutlery, we have a range of disposable, eco-friendly packaging and place settings to be used in a wealth of ways.

Not only can our greaseproof paper be used to wrap a wide variety of menu options, but they are also microwave, oven and freezer safe, giving flexibility and dual-purpose for all kinds of hospitality businesses.

We also provide a range of printed paper bags for easy transportation, so if your customers would still rather eat at home, you don’t miss out on vital revenue.

What about the environment?

You might be thinking that disposable paper cups and greaseproof menus and place settings sound great, but what about the environment?

We are committed to providing the food and hospitality sector with eco-friendly packaging and place setting options that are also considerate of the natural world. Our paper cups for example are created using recyclable and eco-friendly compostable materials made from vegetable oils, corn starch and straw. Our greaseproof paper products use 100% pulp that is also compostable and biodegradable, meaning they can be disposed of after just one use without impacting the natural environment.

What about branding?

Using plant-based inks, PackGenie can provide you with branded, single-use eco-friendly items with the added benefit of free artwork, so you can keep your business identity in front of your customers at all times. 

All you need to get started is a logo and some ideas on corporate colours. Our team will be happy to create your branded disposable food packaging and place settings ready for your approval without blowing your budget.
