Why Packaging Matters for Restaurant & Food Service
Restaurant and food service packaging is the fastest-growing segment of the packaging industry, driven by the $300B+ food delivery market and the permanent shift toward off-premise dining. Every takeout container, coffee cup, and paper bag is a mobile billboard for your restaurant brand. Cubit manufactures across the complete food service spectrum. Branded clamshell takeout containers for entrees. Custom pizza boxes for pizzerias. Printed coffee cups and sleeves for cafes. Kraft paper bags with handles for takeout orders. Food boat trays for street food and fast-casual. Grease-proof wrapping paper for sandwiches and burgers. Custom printed napkins for brand reinforcement. Catering trays for events. And condiment cups for portion control. The food service packaging market faces a dual challenge: creating memorable branded experiences while meeting accelerating sustainability mandates. Over 35 states have enacted single-use plastic bans. PFAS-free requirements are becoming universal. Compostable and recyclable alternatives are no longer optional—they're expected by consumers and required by law.
