How to Choose High-Quality Paper Food Containers for Your Business

If you are running a food delivery or takeaway business, you know how important it is to use high-quality paper food containers that can keep your food fresh, safe and appealing. Paper food containers are eco-friendly, convenient and cost-effective alternatives to plastic or foam containers. However, not all paper food containers are created equal. There are many factors that affect the quality and performance of paper food containers, such as the material, the structure, the coating and the testing.

In this blog post, we will share with you some tips on how to choose high-quality paper food containers for your business, and introduce you to our products that meet the highest standards of quality assurance.

 

Material: Use Food-Grade Virgin Pulp Paper

The material of the paper food container is the most important factor that determines its safety and hygiene. You should always choose paper food containers that use food-grade virgin pulp paper, which is made from natural wood pulp and does not contain any harmful substances such as fluorescent brighteners or plasticizers. Virgin pulp paper has a light color, a smooth surface and a high purity.

Many low-end paper food containers on the market use recycled kraft paper, which has a darker color, a rougher surface and more impurities. Recycled kraft paper may contain harmful substances that can leach into your food and cause health problems. Moreover, recycled kraft paper has a lower strength and durability than virgin pulp paper.

We use only food-grade virgin pulp paper for our paper food containers. Our paper is certified by SGS and meets the FDA standards for direct food contact. Our paper has a high grammage, which means it has a high stiffness and resistance to deformation.

 

Structure: Use Sturdy and Compressive Design

The structure of the paper food container is another important factor that affects its quality and performance. You should choose paper food containers that have a sturdy and compressive design, which can prevent leakage, spillage and damage during transportation and storage. A good paper food container should have a high bowl bottom, which can increase the volume and stability of the container. The bottom edge of the container should have an oblique pressure pattern, which can enhance the firmness and prevent cracking.

We use a sturdy and compressive design for our paper bowls. Our paper bowls have a high bowl bottom, which can hold more food and prevent tipping over. Our bottom edge has an oblique pressure pattern, which can increase the strength and durability of the bowl.

 

Coating: Use Oil-Resistant and Waterproof PE Film 

The coating of the paper food container is another factor that influences its quality and performance. You should choose paper food containers that have an oil-resistant and waterproof PE film coating, which can protect the paper from moisture, oil and heat. PE film coating is applied to the surface of the paper by single or double lamination, which can make the paper oil-resistant, waterproof and heat-sealable. PE film coating can also improve the appearance and feel of the paper.

Many low-end paper food containers do not have any coating or use inferior coating materials, which can make the paper soggy, greasy and unhygienic. Moreover, inferior coating materials may contain harmful substances that can contaminate your food.

We use oil-resistant and waterproof PE film coating for our paper food containers. Our PE film coating is applied by double lamination, which can provide better protection and performance than single lamination. Our PE film coating can also withstand high temperatures up to 120°C.

 

Testing: Conduct Regular High-Temperature Anti-Leakage Tests

The testing of the paper food container is another factor that verifies its quality and performance. You should choose paper food containers that undergo regular high-temperature anti-leakage tests, which can ensure the reliability and safety of the product. High-temperature anti-leakage tests involve pouring boiling water into the container and letting it stand for more than two hours. The test can check whether the container can resist high temperature without leaking or deforming.

Many low-end paper food containers do not conduct any testing or use unreliable testing methods, which can compromise the quality and performance of the product. Moreover, untested or poorly tested products may pose risks to your customers' health and satisfaction.

We conduct regular high-temperature anti-leakage tests for our paper food containers. We randomly sample our products from each batch and perform rigorous testing procedures in our laboratory. We ensure that our products can withstand high temperature without leaking or deforming.

 

Conclusion

Paper food containers are an essential part of any food delivery or takeaway business. However, not all paper food containers are of high quality and performance. You should pay attention to the material, structure, coating and testing of the paper food containers you choose for your business.
