6 Benefits of Printed Packaging 
for Restaurant Owners

Having custom-printed, branded takeaway boxes offers several massive benefits for independent restaurant owners.

1. Free Advertising  (Your "Walking Billboard")

When customers carry your beautiful, branded bags, boxes down the street, on the bus, or into their offices, other people see your name and logo. Your packaging acts like a free moving advertisement, helping you reach new customers in the local community without spending extra money on marketing.

2. More Sales from Your Website/App with QR Code on the Packaging

People love to share photos and videos of their food online. A visually appealing takeaway box makes customers want to snap a photo and post it on Instagram or record an "unboxing" video for TikTok, tagging your business in the process. Studies show that 40% of consumers will share photos of a product on social media if it comes in unique, attractive packaging.

3. STOP using JustEat, UberEats, Deliveroo and FoodHub. Save Fees & Commissions.

Delivery apps like UberEats and Just Eat take a huge chunk of your profits. You can print your direct website link, phone number, and a call-to-action like "Save money — order directly on our website next time!" on every box. You can also print a small QR code that customers can scan with their phone cameras to instantly view your direct menu, download your app, or leave a 5-star Google review. Note: If you dont have Takeaway & Delivery Restaurant Ordering Website & Mobile App Try NetronEats.com

4. Turn One-Time Customers into Regulars (Loyalty)

When your packaging uses consistent colors and logos, it builds brand recognition. Every time a customer sees your box on their dining table, it reinforces your brand identity. Over time, this familiarity turns into trust, making them much more likely to order from you the next time they are hungry. Research shows that custom packaging can increase customer loyalty and repeat orders by up to 40%.

5. Your Customers. Build Deep Trust & Stand Out

Most local takeaways use cheap, plain boxes. Having your own custom boxes immediately tells customers that your restaurant is professional, established, and cares about details. This builds instant trust with first-time buyers and helps you stand out in a crowded market. In fact, 73% of UK shoppers say packaging design helps them decide what to buy, and 72% of customers say high-quality packaging makes them feel the food itself is of higher quality.

6. Attract Eco-Conscious Customers

Using custom-printed biodegradable, compostable, or recycled packaging (such as bagasse burger boxes or recyclable cardboard) shows customers that you care about the planet. This is a major selling point: up to 48% of Millennials and 40% of Gen Z diners say they are more likely to choose a restaurant that offers sustainable packaging, which greatly improves your brand's reputation.
