The 5 packaging mistakes that ruin your deliveries

Delivery 4 min de lecture 30 septembre 2025

Packaging is responsible for 40% of delivery complaints. Yet, it’s one of the easiest aspects to improve.

Error 1: The sauce in the same container as the dish. Result: a dish is soggy and inedible. Solution: always separate sauces in small, sealed jars.

Error 2: Fries in an airtight container without ventilation. Humidity turns your crispy fries into soggy fries. Solution: containers with ventilation holes.

Error 3: The thin paper bag tears with the first impact. Solution: Invest in sturdy bags (reinforced kraft) that can support the weight.

Error 4: No identification on the containers. The delivery person doesn’t know which container corresponds to which order. Solution: stickers with the order number and the contents.

Error 5: Random stacking in the bag. Heavy dishes crush light dishes. Solution: Heavy dishes at the bottom, desserts and salads at the top, beverages separated.
