We love seeing the creative packaging ideas that our customers come up with. One adaptation we’re particularly impressed by is the the retro return of the gold foil pan.

Reminiscent of a cozy TV dinner, these containers are easily transportable and oven-safe, making them the perfect adoption in a new takeout or delivery menu. It’s still foil, so it has the strength and durability you need for safely sealed service, but a golden interior sheds a bit of style to match your menu.

Give your customers an easy set-up: foil pans are transferrable straight from the oven to the table.

Nostalgia is a key part of the American dining landscape. Chefs nationwide seek to emulate the feeling of a family dinner, or the memories that come flooding back with the use of a particular ingredient or spice. The same should be true for the vessels in which we serve. Providing a comfortable, safe and memorable experience has never been more important.

Also back by bountiful demand: butcher’s twine, kraft paper and stock print designs that bring guests back to yesteryear. Early adapters of this memory-flooding movement included restaurants such as Olmsted in Brooklyn (always a trendsetter) and Melt Shop in Manhattan, with their infamous “Chilly Dilly” pickle packaging.
