Modern food packaging solutions in the foodservice industry are crucial as the demand for takeout and delivery services continues to rise. According to Deloitte’s 2023 report, nearly 70% of people are ordering as much takeout or delivery as before the pandemic. This trend has emphasized the need for packaging that ensures both security and convenience. Marlene Bautista, product portfolio manager of Inline Plastics, highlights the importance of sustainable packaging as consumer expectations shift towards eco-friendly options.
Inline Plastics introduced the Safe-T-Chef® product line in 2022, featuring tamper-protection technology for hot food applications. This innovative line aimed to safeguard the freshness and security of food from preparation to delivery, catering to restaurants, convenience stores, foodservice providers, grocers, and processors. The company’s focus on transparency and product visibility led to the development of an all-clear polypropylene product line with anti-fog technology to address condensation challenges in hot food packaging.
The evolution of Safe-T-Chef® containers reflects Inline Plastics’ commitment to meeting customer needs. By offering flat-lid options for various container sizes, the company provides foodservice operators with a compact packaging solution that maintains tamper protection, leak resistance, and high clarity. The flat-lid design enhances shelf utilization and storage efficiency, aligning with customer feedback and industry demands.
Inline Plastics’ Safe-T-Chef® line stands out for its versatility and innovative features, including a single-piece clamshell design, deep stacking rails for merchandising, SureGrip® technology for easier handling, and compatibility with automated equipment. The line offers vented and non-vented options, leak-resistant seals, microwave- and dishwasher-safe convenience, and modern designs that prioritize accessibility and sustainability.
Manufactured in Georgia, the Safe-T-Chef® line represents Inline Plastics’ dedication to setting new standards in packaging design. By continuously developing solutions that balance innovation, security, and sustainability, the company supports foodservice operators and retailers in meeting current challenges and preparing for future demands.
As the packaging landscape evolves, Inline Plastics remains at the forefront of providing modern, flexible, and consumer-friendly solutions to the food industry. By staying responsive to industry trends and customer needs, Inline Plastics aims to drive innovation and support the growth of foodservice businesses in a dynamic market environment.
