Sustainable sealed trays from Better-Pack

Better-Pack's sustainable sealed containers are an ideal alternative to PP menu containers. And the eco-friendly sealing films in our range are a perfect replacement for lids or transparent PP films. But before we get to the sealing machines and sealing films, let's first look at our white menu containers. Our white containers are available in various sizes and formats. They are available as single, double, and triple compartments. Most of our containers are made from bagasse (IP product line). Not only are the single-compartment containers versatile. Thanks to their various designs, the multi-compartment menu containers can also be used in different ways. For example, the sealed containers in various sizes are suitable for main courses eaten with cutlery, as well as for side dishes eaten by hand. Our largest organic container is made of cellulose and has a capacity of 1250 ml. The various formats and sizes give you the advantage of optimally adapting the white menu containers to your customers' needs. Therefore, our containers are suitable for all your hot dishes or cold food to go. Detailed information can be viewed by clicking on the respective items.

You might now be thinking: That’s all well and good, but many menu containers are available in different models and sizes. What makes Better-Pack containers special? For our answer, the material plays the biggest role. Because unlike XPS sealed containers or a PP menu container, bagasse and cellulose are biodegradable. This means no packaging waste! However, the materials have no disadvantages compared to PP, PE, XPS, or aluminum. After all, our white sealed containers are all extremely sturdy, greaseproof, and have good thermal insulation. This means our undivided, 2-compartment, or 3-compartment containers can be used for menus, main courses, and side dishes. There are no disadvantages compared to sealed containers made of PP or C-PET, which is superior to PP and more easily recyclable. We supply our sealable containers without lids, as you can seal them at any time with our transparent films. If you are actually looking for containers and boxes with lids, you will find them here. Otherwise, all the containers listed here can be easily sealed with a suitable film and a sealing machine.

Eco-friendly sealing film

To complement our white sealing containers, we also offer transparent sealing films online in our shop. They are perfect for quickly and securely sealing your delicious food in our menu containers using a sealing machine. Make a professional impression with your catering business by not only packaging manually, but also offering your customers high-quality, hygienically packaged and sealed food. When it comes to our transparent sealing films, our cellulose film is particularly noteworthy. This transparent film is fully biodegradable and miles ahead of conventional PP sealing films in terms of sustainability. At the same time, the eco-friendly sealing film is in no way inferior to conventional PE sealing films: The film has the same thickness and stability as films made from conventional materials. Just like the other sealing films in our range, the cellulose film is also suitable for our menu containers in various sizes. Other sealing films that can also be used with our sealing machines include thermo sealing films and thermo aluminum films. Why do we also offer aluminum sealing films?

Have the new packaging laws changed your business?

Some of our customers—and perhaps you are one of them—have had to convert large parts of their operations in recent years due to the new packaging laws. Many restaurateurs and restaurant owners had to make significant investments. This included reusable drinking cups as well as more sustainable wrapping paper. New—and better!—materials such as CPET or RPET have significantly changed the catering landscape. Most of these changes are obviously positive. But to some extent, many business owners also had to give up familiar methods and try new types of packaging. And of course, we know that not every sustainable alternative will meet the needs of all our customers—and perhaps yours too. We also realize that many restaurants, from Italian to Asian cuisine, are reluctant to give up aluminum as a practical and versatile, time-tested packaging material.

Diverse range of sustainable packaging solutions

This leads us to a logical conclusion: If we want to gradually introduce modern, sustainable packaging solutions to food service businesses, we can only do so with a diverse range that offers something for everyone. After all, it is better for restaurateurs and caterers to order, for example, an aluminum roll and eco-friendly containers from a single supplier such as Better-Pack than the same aluminum roll and other, less sustainable accessories from a different supplier. We want to make our commitment to greater sustainability as transparent as possible. This is why we offer less sustainable sealing films: The more eco-friendly products are used in larger quantities, the better it is for the environment. This requires a large and versatile range that still includes materials such as aluminum.
