Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Corner Pantry," a bustling deli in Leeds, was struggling with flimsy takeaway containers that often leaked during their growing delivery service. They needed a reliable, eco-conscious alternative that would protect their food and their reputation.
"Our delivery orders used to be a gamble, especially with dressed salads. Since switching to these Faerch Fresco FB356 deli containers, we've had zero complaints about spills. They're tough, secure, and our customers constantly comment on the fact they're recyclable."
Robert Miller – Owner
The switch resulted in a complete elimination of packaging-related customer complaints and helped boost their repeat delivery orders by over 15% in three months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Store the sleeve of containers in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain their integrity.
- Always ensure hands are clean before handling to comply with food hygiene standards.
- To separate a container, gently twist it from the stack rather than pulling it straight off.
- Press the lid down firmly around the edges until you hear and feel a distinct 'click' for a secure seal.
Care & Disposal
- These recyclable plastic food containers with lids are designed for single use with cold foods only.
- Advise customers to give the container a quick rinse before placing it in their recycling bin.
- The rPET material is widely recycled across the UK, but it's always good practice to check local guidelines.
- Do not use in microwaves, ovens, or dishwashers as the material is not heat-resistant.
