The Takeout Experience: 6 Delicious Unboxings Featuring noissue Food Wrapping Paper

@go_cakes

Staying in doesn’t have to be boring – when in doubt, get yourself some takeout!

It’s no surprise that many people love this option (Netflix bingers, raise a hand!) especially within the past year with lockdowns and stay-at-home orders.

And you’re not alone if you prefer to eat in the comfort of your pajamas. 60% of American consumers will agree with you by ordering delivery or takeout at least once a week!

For hospitality businesses with delicious eats, it’s equally important to provide an unboxing experience that’s as irresistible as the bites offered.

🎁 Unboxings aren’t just a social media trend – they provide customers with an experience.

Don’t underestimate the element of surprise! Getting surprised when opening a thoughtfully designed package instills a great feeling in customers, much like when you receive a specially crafted gift. Take it from the Journal of Marketing, which conducted a study that showed when people are pleasantly surprised with a product, their enjoyment of that product increased by up to 25%.

The surprise that accompanies an unboxing experience is your chance to foster a personal connection with a customer. Curating that sense of awe and excitement through well-designed packaging will leave customers with an unforgettable impression of your brand. Adding extra details to create an overall unboxing experience is a sure way to uplevel your business’s branding and even encourage customers to make repeat purchases.

🥡 Takeout can also be an unboxing experience – with a delicious (and eco-friendly) twist.

Major components of an excellent unboxing experience for takeout include consistent branding, an eye-catching design, and packaging that’ll also protect food products. The proof is in the pudding – well, more like it’s in custom and eco-friendly food packaging!

Food safe packaging means that the materials surrounding an edible product won’t harm the quality or integrity of the product. Since plastic packaging from takeout food and drink makes up most of the litter in the world’s oceans, it’s all the more important to turn to sustainable food safe packaging for your business’ takeout.

The good news is, noissue Custom Food Wrapping Paper is printed on FSC-certified paper with water-based food safe inks and is fully compostable so that it won’t harm the planet, either.

Having a custom design on your food safe packaging materials will wow customers when they receive their order and make your products stand out from the crowd. After all, we can’t resist snapping some food pics for the ‘gram – noissue Food Wrapping Paper is the perfect backdrop for those foodie shots!

Give your orders an extra pop by sprinkling in your brand’s logo or adding a visually appealing pattern for a winning custom design!

💥 Turn your takeout into a total knockout

When it comes to nailing your takeout unboxing experience, follow these three packaging must-haves: the look, the feel, and the personal touch.

The look will make that first and lasting impression on customers when they receive their takeout, so don’t be afraid to pull out all the packaging stops!

The feel is just as important as how your unboxing experience will look. You want to use high-quality materials that’ll keep things neat and protect your product (and bonus points for using compostable food safe packaging!)

Putting on a personal touch will be your pièce de résistance – your brand’s signature to perfect the ultimate takeout unboxing experience and keep customers coming back for more!
