Packaging for the Delivery Era

With food delivery accounting for 30-40% of revenue for many Indian restaurants, packaging directly impacts customer perception, food quality on arrival, and repeat orders. Good packaging keeps food hot, prevents spills, and reinforces your brand — bad packaging costs you ratings and customers.

Types of Restaurant Packaging

PP5 Containers: Most widely used for Indian food delivery. Microwave-safe, leak-proof. ₹1.5-5 per unit wholesale.

Eco-Friendly: Bagasse, cornstarch, and paper containers. 30-50% more expensive but increasingly mandated by regulations and preferred by eco-conscious customers.

Aluminium Foil Containers: Best for biryani and hot dishes. Retains heat, oven-safe for reheating.

Paper Bags: For takeaway and delivery. Kraft paper bags (80-120 GSM) are the standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What packaging is best for food delivery?
PP5 (polypropylene) containers with snap-fit lids for curries and gravies. Aluminium foil containers for biryani and hot dishes. Paper wraps for dry items. Always use tamper-evident seals. Choose microwave-safe containers so customers can reheat easily.
How much does restaurant packaging cost per order?
Average packaging cost per delivery order: ₹8-15 for standard plastic containers, ₹12-25 for eco-friendly options. This typically accounts for 3-5% of the order value. Buying in bulk (cases of 500-1000) reduces per-unit cost significantly.
Are single-use plastic containers banned?
India has banned single-use plastics under 75 microns since July 2022 (thin bags, plates, cups, straws). Thicker PP5 food containers are still allowed. Some states have stricter bans. Eco-friendly alternatives (bagasse, cornstarch) are available on amigo.gg.
