Firstly, the size of the container must be considered. With the salads, portions vary, thus, the size of the container should neatly fit the quantity.
To pack individual servings, small paper salad boxes are the most appropriate sizes.
Quality is another aspect that needs attention. The right paper salad box has to be durable, firm, and smooth-locking. Some containers are flimsy enough to tear upon contact with the dressing or would get soggy upon contact with the dressing.
In addition, have a laminated layer on these boxes, as this will prevent moisture from entering the box, thus keeping the salad fresh and crisp.
People these days are very much concerned about the environment. This is why selecting eco-friendly packaging is so important. A paper salad box formed by biodegradable and recyclable ingredients is like sunlight breaking through gloomy clouds.
The importance of this lid is seen in how it reducing spoilage of the salad. If the lid is too loose, air can get in and dry the salad. If, however, the lid is too tight, such conditions can crush some softer ingredients. Therefore, it is best if the lid fits securely while still being easy to open.
It is best to set aside a proper area to store them before buying. And the storage has to be in a cool, dry place because, otherwise, that moisture will automatically weaken the paper.
