Efficient packaging – the McDonalds example

Innovative and creative packaging designed by Rob Bye allows people to easily carry McDonald’s Big Mac burger, fries, and a drink. New, more efficient Big Mac meal packaging reduces waste and eliminates the need for separate fries container and a take away bag.

Big Mac and fries share the same box. The food is separated by the drink holder made out of cardboard.

Top part of the box can be opened for easy access to delicious fries.

The old meal packaging (below) shows the separate parts that the world is familiar with:

The new meal packaging (below) shows the combined, efficient packaging that’ll we all be seeing soon:

We have to commend McDonalds here, there burgers may not be the most fulfilling, but here at Fretfoil, we appreciate such eco-friendly, efficient packaging!

Effectively shrink wrapping your products.

Shrink wrapping is a packaging method used for securing items to pallet, using stretchable plastic film to add layers and make a strong hold.

When you put your products to be delivered or stored onto a strong pallet, ensure to get one that is more than enough to cover the amount of items you are about to wrap. Make sure that everything is packed firmly. Spaces can loosen up the wrap later on, and the last thing you want is for all your hard work to go to waste by it ripping as, potentially, your products could fall off or get damaged.

Wrap the shrink wrapped, polythene packaging around the bottom of the pallet ensuring that you wrap the base several times so that your package will not slip off. Ideally, the whole pallet should feel like a solid unit. Things must move as one and should not wobble. Again, start from the base; keep it strong and move your way up until you have wrapped everything securely.

When you reach the top of the pallet you should wrap back down the base again. To know what is necessary, try pushing the upper portion to check if the load appears tight or loose. If you notice that the plastic is rippling, you were not able to wrap your package tight enough and you should probably add layers. Continue wrapping but this time from top to bottom. Once the stack is stable, cut the film apart and fold the end of it under the edge of one of the wraps on the pallet side.

The Advantages of Using Polythene Packaging

Using polythene packaging is a great way to save on costs while also giving you added benefits when shipping and packaging items for others.

Whether you own your own shipping business or if you are looking for materials to help with handling items you want to pack away for a move or for others, you can use polythene packaging as it has many advantages and benefits. When you are moving house furniture and personal belongings, finding the right packaging will help to make the task much easier and the overall move quicker and with less stress.

Uses of Polythene Packaging

You can use polythene packaging for a number of purposes including business and personal reasons. If you ship items to others regularly, you can use polythene packaging in the form of bags and even with wrapping the items in the actual polythene itself. You can also use polythene packaging when you are moving house furniture and all of your own personal items to a new location, depending on what you plan to pack away and how you want to unpack your belongings once you have arrived in the new location as well.
Advantages and Benefits of Using Polythene Packaging

When you choose to use polythene packaging for shipping or for storing away your own items, one of the major advantages of doing so is that polythene packaging is one of the most durable and lightweight options for packaging in existence.

If you are planning to pack or ship perishable goods including food, polythene packaging is ideal as plastic has the least amount of permeability, keeping your foods fresher for longer periods of time.

Using polythene packaging or poly bags requires less natural resources to make than when you opt to use traditional paper or glass packaging options.

Additionally, polythene packaging is also clear and can easily allow access to packaged goods or when in need of identifying stored items and belongings of your own.
