Jacket potatoes are becoming a popular takeaway meal in the UK. With their versatility – from classic cheese and beans to loaded toppings like pulled chicken, chili, or fresh salads – ensuring they arrive hot, fresh, and intact is crucial. Choosing the right takeaway packaging for jacket potatoes not only preserves quality but also enhances the customer experience.
Why Jacket Potatoes Need Special Takeaway Packaging
Unlike burgers or sandwiches, jacket potatoes are heavier, messy, and heat-sensitive. The ideal packaging should:
Retain heat and keep the potato warm for longer.
Prevent condensation and sogginess.
Be strong enough to handle generous fillings.
Be eco-friendly to meet growing customer demand.
This is where XPP takeaway boxes and Bagasse clamshell boxes shine.
