Designed to help online stores preserve fresh food in transit, Mondi Warszawa’s FreshFood BOX is intended as a recyclable alternative to extruded polystyrene foam.
Made entirely from recyclable materials, the box features a tape-free closure to streamline recyclability without compromising on security.
At the same time, it is built to be sturdy, airtight, and to protect the contents from external conditions during long journeys.
FreshFood BOX’s thick cardboard inserts and dedicated cooling elements are also set to prevent spoilage in transit.
The box’s ergonomic transport handles are also expected to unlock easy handling across the supply chain.
Altogether, the packaging aims to deliver fresh products in perfect condition, keep food waste at a minimum, and help customers reduce their carbon footprint.
“I wanted the FreshFood BOX to show that protecting product quality and caring for the environment don’t have to be at odds,” said Michał Ryfiński, national key account designer at Mondi Corrugated Poland.
“The design focuses on simplicity, reliability, and a more responsible approach to packaging – supporting brands in delivering fresh food with confidence.”
In another development, Mondi has worked alongside Pacapime Hungary to deliver fresh produce in high-quality corrugated packaging.
Applicable to customers in Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Serbia and Western Europe, the packaging features a 100% fresh fibre top ply and claims to unlock the necessary strength, durability and effective ventilation for transporting food.
Meanwhile, Deliveroo recently adopted a new takeaway box with a locking mechanism, designed by apprenticeship students from Sheffield Hallam University.
The boxes are made from PLA-lined paperboard and are designed to maintain food temperature, prevent spilling in transit, and enable end-of-life compostability.
