Menu boxes

Which meal box is best for which use?

Undivided meal boxes for large main courses

Undivided meal boxes offer plenty of space for schnitzel, burger meals, pasta, fried rice, currywurst with fries, or large snack portions. They’re especially suitable when foods don’t need to be separated and you’re looking for flexible packaging for various dishes.

2-compartment meal boxes for main courses and sides

Meal boxes with two compartments neatly separate the main course from the side dish. This helps keep fries, rice, vegetables, or salad better portioned, and the food looks more appetizing when served to the guest.

3-compartment meal boxes for complete meals

3-compartment meal boxes are ideal for classic plate meals featuring meat, a side dish, and vegetables or sauce. They prevent individual components from mixing and are particularly well-suited for cafeterias, catering, lunch service, and delivery services.

XPS, bagasse, cardboard, or reusable PP—which meal box is right for your needs?

Meal boxes are available in various materials, each offering different advantages depending on the dish, serving method, and sustainability requirements. For snack bars, delivery services, cafeterias, food trucks, and catering, it’s especially important that food is transported safely, remains appetizing, and is suitable for the specific application.

XPS meal boxes: lightweight, insulating, and cost-effective

XPS meal boxes are particularly lightweight, stackable, and provide good insulation. They’re ideal for hot dishes such as schnitzel, currywurst, french fries, rice dishes, pasta dishes, or classic snack menu items. Thanks to their light weight and excellent heat retention, XPS meal boxes are a practical solution for snack bars, delivery services, cafeterias, and quick takeout sales.

Bagasse meal boxes: a natural look for sustainable takeout concepts

Bagasse meal boxes are made from sugarcane fibers and offer a sturdy alternative for both hot and cold foods. The natural look of the material fits particularly well with modern dining concepts, street food, catering, food trucks, and businesses that want to offer their guests a more environmentally conscious packaging solution. Bagasse meal boxes have a high-quality appearance and are ideal for dishes where presentation and sustainability play an important role.

Cardboard meal boxes: sturdy for snacks, lunch dishes, and takeout

Cardboard meal boxes and food boxes are suitable for a wide variety of snacks, bowls, lunch dishes, burger meals, and prepared foods. They are sturdy, stackable, and ensure a neat presentation at the counter, buffet, pickup station, or for delivery. Depending on the design, they are a good choice for bakeries, snack bars, cafés, caterers, and takeout concepts with a rotating menu.

Reusable meal boxes made of PP: durable for deposit systems and reuse

Reusable meal boxes made of polypropylene (PP) are shatterproof, reusable, and ideal for businesses that want to implement a deposit or return system. They are suitable for cafeterias, caterers, delivery services, events, and food service establishments that want to reduce single-use packaging and offer their guests a durable packaging solution.

The right choice depends on the dish

For very hot dishes and classic snack items, insulated XPS meal boxes are often particularly practical. For sustainable takeout options, bagasse or cardboard meal boxes are ideal. If packaging is to be reused multiple times, reusable PP meal boxes are the right solution. This way, restaurants, snack bars, catering services, and delivery services can find the right meal box for every dish.
