In today’s fast-paced takeout industry, the right packaging is more important than ever. Your container needs to be durable, leak-proof, and temperature-resistant—while also meeting Canada’s evolving environmental regulations. That’s where polypropylene takeout containers shine. From hot soups to saucy entrées, here’s why Canadian restaurants are making the switch to polypropylene.
Temperature Control: Great for Hot and Cold Food
Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer known for its ability to handle temperature extremes. It can safely hold hot foods like stir-fries or soups without warping, while also keeping cold foods like salads or frozen desserts intact without cracking.
This makes polypropylene ideal for diverse menus, giving restaurants the flexibility to serve anything from hot mains to cold sides—all with one packaging solution.
Leak-Resistant Sealing That Works
Nothing frustrates customers more than a leaky takeout bag. Polypropylene containers are designed with tight-fitting lids that help prevent spills and messes. That secure seal keeps food fresh and contained from kitchen to doorstep—offering peace of mind for delivery services and dine-out customers alike.
Made for Saucy Foods
Curry? Barbecue? Pasta with extra sauce? No problem. Unlike some other materials, polypropylene is non-porous, meaning it won’t absorb stains or odors. That helps maintain food integrity, keeps containers looking clean, and avoids lingering smells that can affect repeat use.
Meets Canadian Plastic Guidelines
As environmental regulations change, many restaurants are reassessing their packaging. The good news? Polypropylene complies with Canadian plastic guidelines and is recyclable in many municipalities. It’s a smart step toward sustainability without sacrificing performance or food safety.
Durable, Stackable, and Space-Saving
Polypropylene containers are tough and dependable, holding up to bumps and movement during transit. They’re also stackable, saving space in your storage area or delivery bags—making life easier for both kitchen staff and drivers.
