Under this demand, you will need different compostable to go containers to pack each ingredient and deliver to your customer.

Heat-Sealed Packaging
For some specific dishes that require freshness and heat, you can use heat-sealed packaging. This packing technique ensures the food’s flavor and temperature when it reaches your customer.
Multi-Compartment Bento Boxes
Bento boxes are a great choice if you need to pack different foods in one food container. Multi-compartment boxes can separate different foods and prevent mixing different food flavors.
