When you started your research to find the right packaging for your restaurant, you quickly realized that there was a multitude of different packaging options. Different materials, different shapes, different designs, etc. Depending on your needs, the choice can be complicated. To help you see more clearly, first, you can take a look at our article “How Select The Best Food Packaging for My Restaurant“. Before looking at the specific technical or visual characteristics of your packaging, you must first choose a material. As you may have already seen, the majority of food packaging is made of plastic, paper, aluminium or corn starch. Here, we will focus particularly on plastic containers and paper box lunch containers. Is paper packaging more expensive than plastic packaging? At first sight, we tend to think that paper packaging is more expensive than plastic packaging. Yes, the shortcut between more ecological and therefore more expensive is very often made by us, lambdas consumers. But know that this is not necessarily true. It all depends on the type of packaging we are talking about. In the rest of this article, we will compare 2 types of plastic packaging with a classic paper lunch box. This will allow us to analyse their prices as well as their strengths and weaknesses. The first plastic packaging in which we will be interested in the microwave plastic container and the second is the TAGE plastic container.

Microwave Plastic Container

The microwave plastic container is a rigid plastic packaging. In its form, it is similar to Tupperware. As its name suggests, it is possible to put it in the microwave. It is presented in 2 parts. The first is the main container and the second is the lid. This type of packaging is totally leakproof and food grade. Its price is generally around RM0.40 per piece

TAGE Plastic Container

The TAGE plastic container is made of thinner plastic than the previous one. It is presented in a single block with 2 symmetrical parts. That is to say, the part containing the food is the same as the lid. It also has all the characteristics of a food packaging. That is to say, it is completely leakproof and food grade. As for it, its price is RM0.15 per piece.

Paper Lunch Boxes

Finally, let us talk about paper box lunch containers. As its name suggests, this type of packaging is made of paper, but not just any type of paper. The latter is PE coated which makes it totally leakproof and grease proof. These lunch boxes are also totally food grade. Their price is about RM0.26 per piece.
