How to pack chips for takeaway?

Thin, long, perfectly deep-fried. Deliciously crispy, sprinkled with salt and dipped in mayonnaise or ketchup. That's right, we're talking about chips – a delicacy that is probably the only one in the world that has only fans. Chips are so beloved that they have their own special day on the calendar. That day is 13 July.

The true history of chips

History tells us that French fries originated in Belgium and that the inhabitants of that country were the first to discover this heavenly taste. To this day, it is unknown when the first batch of French fries was fried. What is known, however, is that in 1857, for the first time in the history of gastronomy, a bar serving French fries appeared.

French fries owe their international career to British soldiers who discovered this wonderful delicacy during World War I. French fries reached the United States with veterans after World War I.

French fries can be eaten in many ways. They are most often eaten with the hands, without the use of a knife and fork, salted, with ketchup or other types of sauce. They are also served in takeaway packaging.

How to pack chips for takeaway in the best possible way?

French fries can be packed in virtually any container or takeaway packaging. However, economic and practical aspects should be taken into account. The price of the packaging should not significantly increase the price of our delicacy.

So what to choose?

Paper boxes

One of the most popular types of packaging for serving takeaway chips in catering establishments are paper boxes. Boxes with the catchy name Kartonik are also perfect for festivals and outdoor events, where there is no shortage of lovers of all kinds of chips. Kartoniki boxes are sufficiently resistant to crushing and protect against grease leakage and high temperatures.

Pakowanko, a wholesaler of takeaway containers and packaging, offers Kartoniki boxes in the following sizes

• 13.5x8x6cm - Click here!
• 14x19x6.5cm - Click here!
• 15x12x6.5cm - Click here!

Thanks to the three available sizes, we can match each box to the appropriate portion and shape of the chips offered to our guests.

French fries in a Burger Box

Yes, you're seeing correctly. French fries can also be packed in a disposable container made of sugar cane with the subtle name Burger Box - Click here. Thanks to this box, your guest will not have to worry about eating cold French fries when they reach their destination.

Chips served on a tray

Pakowanko has prepared another solution for all food trucks in the form of paper trays. 

Additions to takeaway chips

During the pandemic, a large number of guests prefer to eat chips with a fork and knife. This solution is much more hygienic. Pakowanko also meets your expectations in this case. We provide eco-friendly wooden forks and knives, which are packed in brown paper that adds style and elegance. Thanks to the fork, we can also avoid getting sauce on our hands. Speaking of sauce... We also have a solution for sauce. Here, a charming 60ml container for sauces or dips comes to the rescue like the bravest hussars. This container is made of sugar cane. From now on, your restaurant guests will be able to decide for themselves how much mayonnaise or ketchup they want to put on their chips at any given moment. What's more, this container comes with a lid and is 100% eco-friendly and biodegradable.

To complement all aesthetic and hygienic aspects, we also offer napkins that allow us to wipe our hands and mouth after a meal. Napkins will be particularly useful for guests who prefer to eat chips with their hands.

Pakowanko offers two types of napkins:

• Brown, disposable catering napkins measuring 23x23cm
• White disposable napkins measuring 10.4 x 21 cm

As you can see, chips are a dish that does not require expensive, fancy takeaway packaging. However, it is worth allowing your guests to decide how they want to eat their chips. On the other hand, extras such as cutlery, sauce containers and napkins are accessories that will only add prestige to your restaurant.
