The Fast-food industries have benefited greatly because of the new packaging design concepts emerging from the Platonic Solids. The simple design concepts with eco-friendly materials Fast-food Industries have generated a range of interesting and effective packaging designs. The most successful products incorporate elements of good design, environmentally friendly packaging for food and drink, and important information that helps consumers make good decisions. The successful selling of fast food packaging design largely depends on the following issues-

Good fast food packaging design should protect food quality as well as enhances customer satisfaction by making it easier and neater to eat large, messy sandwiches. Furthermore, the design should be:

  • Enhanced product quality and integrity
  • Superior heat retention and moisture absorbency/loss ratio
  • Sales building tool for drive-thru
  • First in source reduction, environmentally responsible
  • Unique and fun for consumers
  • Cost-effective
