Knowing the diversity of pancake packaging
What are the different types of crepe packaging?
For several years, Covr has been offering crepe packaging suitable for takeaway, available in various formats:
Triangular packaging: This type is widely used for takeaway crepes. It provides good protection during transport and makes crepes easy to enjoy on the go.
Conical packaging: Also common in takeaway, this shape keeps crepes warmer for longer. It is more ergonomic and hygienic for the consumer.
Greaseproof sleeves: These protect against grease and are easy to use and store. It is recommended to combine them with conical or triangular packaging for added hygiene and comfort.
Rectangular packaging: Typically used for large quantities or easier transport. These cardboard boxes are sturdy, offer good protection, help retain heat, and are recyclable.
Choosing the right packaging depends on your business needs and environmental considerations.
What materials are used for crepe packaging?
Several materials are commonly used for crepe packaging:
Bagasse: Made from sugarcane pulp, bagasse is durable, biodegradable, and resistant to water and grease. It can be composted after use.
Wood: A renewable natural material that retains heat well. Depending on production, wooden packaging can be recyclable or compostable.
Cardboard: A recyclable and biodegradable material often made from recycled content. Common in food packaging, including for crepes.
Kraft paper: A recyclable, biodegradable material made from wood pulp. Though usually for dry food, it can also be used for crepes.
Eco-friendly materials such as bagasse, wood, cardboard, and kraft paper should be preferred over plastic-based options.
What are the advantages of crepe packaging?
Crepe packaging offers several key benefits:
Protection: Shields crepes from damage and contamination during transport and storage, preserving quality and freshness.
Hygiene: Provides a barrier against bacteria, dirt, and germs, ensuring clean and safe food handling.
Transport: Enables safe and easy transport without spills or damage, streamlining delivery and takeaway services.
Sustainability: Made from eco-friendly materials that minimize environmental impact, such as bagasse, wood, cardboard, or kraft paper.
In short, crepe packaging plays a vital role in food protection, hygiene, logistics, and environmental sustainability—benefiting producers, distributors, and consumers.
What does the future hold for crepe packaging?
The future of crepe packaging is evolving toward more sustainable, eco-conscious solutions. Consumers are increasingly aware of the impact of packaging and demand greener alternatives.
Businesses are working on recycled or renewable packaging such as paper and cardboard, along with biodegradable and compostable options. Some are even testing edible packaging to reduce waste.
