the PACKAGING EXPERIENCE
determining PAINPOINTS
As is the case for many popular meal kit services, meals are separated within each package, often within brown paper bags. Placed in proximity to cooling packs and cold items, condensation during the time of shipping can not only compromise the paper bags, but also the items within.
WET CONTENTS
Many services place labels on each individual meal pack; however, text size is often small and can be hard to read when glancing into a refrigerator.
SMALL LABELS
Although there is no commercially viable solution to plastics in the case of some food packaging, many meal kits feature an excess of single use plastic packaging. This is evident when initially unpacking the box, and when cooking each meal.
