Top Tips for Food Safety in Packaging

Here are some extra pointers to ensure your food and drinks arrive happy and healthy:

  1. Match Packaging to Products
    Different foods have different needs. Perishables might require insulation, while dry goods might benefit more from crush-proof containers.

  2. Label with Clarity
    Clear labels with ingredients, expiry dates, and handling instructions are essential for consumer safety. Our paper tags and labels are designed for easy reading and durability throughout transit.

  3. Seal it Tight
    High-quality tapes and griplock closures from Allpack help prevent accidental exposure to air, moisture, or other unwelcome guests, keeping your products pristine.

  4. Go Green!
