Maximise Storage and Operational Space

Traditional packaging methods often consume unnecessary space, creating logistical headaches for BOH staff. Flexible packaging, like CRYOVAC^® pouches taking up to 40% less space than rigid containers, significantly improves storage and refrigeration efficiency.

These solutions are also lightweight, with Liquibox^® bag-in-box being 50% lighter than traditional alternatives. This translates to better inventory management, fewer restock deliveries, and reduced shipping costs. It’s a win-win for smoother operations and cost savings.

Improve Team Safety in the Kitchen

Safety is paramount in any kitchen environment, but many still rely on rigid containers that require sharp tools for opening. This increases the risk of cuts and scrapes, which make up a third of all restaurant workplace injuries.

Flexible packaging simplifies this process by eliminating the need for sharp tools. Both brands, CRYOVAC^® and Liquibox^® feature easy-open tabs and convenient dispensers which help kitchen staff work more efficiently and safely.

#3

Reduce Waste, Save Costs

Food waste and inefficiency can eat into profits. Flexible packaging, such as CRYOVAC^® brand FlexPrep^™, is designed for up to 98% product yield. Every last drop of a sauce or dressing can be utilised without messy scraping, reducing food waste and saving time.

Additionally, flexible packaging generates far less landfill waste than traditional materials like plastic bottles. For instance, Liquibox bag-in-box solutions create five times less waste, helping operators reduce their environmental footprint and manage costs more effectively.

#4

Enhance Food Safety Standards

In kitchens, even small cross-contamination risks can pose big challenges. Rigid containers that require scooping utensils are a common culprit. Flexible packaging eliminates this issue, offering cleaner, more hygienic ways to dispense contents. This not only protects consumers but also boosts BOH efficiency by reducing potential contamination incidents.

#5

Achieve Sustainability Goals With Smarter Packaging

With customers and regulators demanding greener operations, staying ahead of sustainability trends has never been more critical. Flexible packaging solutions are paving the way by using 75% less energy and producing significantly lower CO₂ emissions compared to metal cans or PET bottles.

An example is Liquibox^® bag-in-box, which produces 28% less CO₂ than plastic bottles. Additionally, brands like CRYOVAC^® and Liquibox support recycling initiatives, offering recycle-ready packaging, low PA formulas, and materials containing recycled content. If you’re aiming for compliance with sustainability policies such as the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation), these innovative packaging solutions are ideal.

Transforming Foodservice Through Packaging

Smarter packaging solutions are redefining the foodservice industry, enabling businesses to run more efficiently and sustainably. By switching to innovative options like flexible pouches and bag-in-box systems, you can unlock significant cost savings, enhance safety, and meet sustainability commitments.
