• Printed food flags: An often overlooked addition to a business’s packaging arsenal is printed food flags. These are a great addition to burger packaging, especially for restaurants that offer gluten-free, vegan, or other dietary options. These small flags are placed on top of the burger and signify which portion is gluten-free, vegan, or otherwise specialised. This makes it easy for customers to identify which burger is theirs and ensures that they get the right order Available in ready made food flags or DIY versions (cheaper but no sticks included).

The paper is coated so that it repels oily substances, meaning your customer can enjoy their burger without creating a huge mess. Plus, by ordering customised printed greaseproof paper, you can add a fun and unique touch to the packaging, by showcasing your branding.
