Beat Rising Food Costs With Smarter Packaging

Beat Rising Food Costs With Smarter Packaging

Food inflation affects everyone, but restaurant operators and franchise packagers face especially intense pressure. Everything costs more—ingredients, labor, rent, energy, and delivery.

Then there’s packaging costs.

If you’re relying on bulky, hard-to-recycle plastic or low-grade disposables, you’re not just harming the planet—you’re hurting your margins.

Let’s explore how smarter, compostable packaging can help you fight back.

 

The Cost Squeeze Is Real

Here’s what’s happening on the ground:

  • Restaurant meal prices rose nearly 5% in 2024 alone
  • Customers are dining out less frequently
  • Operators face rising waste disposal fees
  • Landfill and recycling systems are overwhelmed
  • Regulations on single-use plastics are tightening rapidly

Simply put: operating costs are climbing while customers resist price increases.

You need every advantage possible. Packaging is an ideal place to start.

 

The Hidden Cost of Cheap Packaging

Consider what happens to your packaging after it leaves your kitchen.

  • Flimsy containers leak, warp, or collapse—triggering refunds and negative reviews
  • Bulky plastic increases disposal costs and environmental fines
  • Uncertified “compostable” options risk compliance violations
  • Generic, low-quality packaging wastes branding opportunities

Those initial savings evaporate when packaging fails or creates downstream issues.
