Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Steam Pot, a bustling noodle bar in Bristol, was struggling with generic packaging that often leaked and hid their vibrant dishes. They switched to the Huhtamaki HP956 to improve their delivery and takeaway service.
"Our old containers just weren't up to scratch; they'd get soggy and didn't look great. These boxes are brilliant. They’re tough, they don't leak, and customers can see exactly what they're getting. Our food travels so much better now."
Ben Carter – Owner, The Steam Pot
Since the switch, the noodle bar has seen a 90% reduction in packaging-related customer complaints and a notable increase in takeaway lunch sales.

Explore more from HuhtamakiHow PET Lining Prevents Takeaway Disasters
Ever wondered what stops a hot curry or a saucy pasta dish from turning its cardboard container into a soggy mess? The secret is the PET lining. PET, or Polyethylene terephthalate, is a completely food-safe, thin plastic coating applied to the inside of the board. Think of it as a custom-fitted, invisible raincoat for the inside of the box.
This barrier does two crucial jobs. Firstly, it makes the box completely leak-proof, so oils, sauces, and dressings can't escape. Secondly, it prevents moisture from weakening the cardboard fibres, ensuring the box stays strong and rigid from your kitchen to your customer's table. It’s this simple bit of science that makes these disposable food to go boxes for cafes and restaurants so reliable.
