Corrugated card is used for the manufacture of the disposable food carrier. It is lightweight and yet strong enough to protect the food contents. It is also recyclable and if left in the environment accidentally, it will decay / compost without damaging the surrounding area. Corrugated card is relatively easy to process and manufacture into a range of three dimensional shapes. Colour can be added through the use of environmentally friendly inks. If required, a water proof layer can be added through UV varnishing of laminating. |
Inserts for the container are manufactured separately. The inserts form the separate areas for food and drink. This also means that the food types do not mix, which could affect their flavour. The handle enables the food carrier to be carried comfortably and yet the containers can still be stack. The container keeps the food from contact with the environment and conditions on the outside. |
