25.01.2022 BE THE CHANGE! Sparked by environmental concerns about plastics and plastic waste, progressive businesses are taking action and looking for more sustainable, packaging solutions for take away meals and cook at home options. In recent times, we have seen a revolt against single-use products, especially plastic. Across media and social media there are countless programs, videos and posts demonstrating the results of waste mismanagement - marine and bird life filled with micro-p...lastics, whole islands of rubbish floating in the ocean, entire beaches covered with trash. Its clear for all to see that things need to change. Cue, the humble foil tray! Over the coming weeks we are asking you to Join the REFOILUTION! To learn more about the impact that our packaging choices have and learn more about how foil could be one of the best solutions when it comes to tacking the waste crisis! https://www.jointherefoilution.com #jointherefoilution #sustainablefoil #endlesslyrenewable

24.01.2022 We are back with more tips for takeaway on this (chilly) Tuesday morning! How are you all doing with the restrictions easing slightly? Tell us about how the weekend was for your business in the comments! The next takeaway tip? KEEP IT SIMPLE! It might seem obvious, but sometimes simplifying processes can actually be quite difficult especially when we are used to looking at an experience from our own perspective. Take a look at your customer experience for takeaway options a...s an outsider looking in. By reconsidering every touch point that a potential customer has with your business - from initial order to consuming their meal, you can get a very real birds-eye perspective of the experience you are actually providing vs what you think you might be providing. Ordering and receiving your amazing food should be easy peasy lemon squeezy - otherwise you might be creating barriers for repeat patronage. The number one way to make it easy is by keeping it simple and convenient for your customer - and your staff. Are you operating on home delivery services such as Uber Eats and Deliveroo? Could you even mobilise your staff for home delivery that otherwise may have been on reduced hours with the current restrictions? Are your payment options simple? Is your food packaging for your takeaway menu practical, easy to use and keeping your food nice and hot? Could you extend yourself to provide other basics for delivery at the same time as your food service such as milk, bread and eggs? Now thats convenience! When you break it down, its just about considering the ease of your customer, when you keep it simple, they will be more likely to return.

18.01.2022 Hello hospitality friends! In these unusual times, we just wanted to reach out to say that we think you are doing an amazing job! Whether you run a cafe or a restaurant, a burger joint or a bakery, a boutique brewery or a winery, we know as well as you do that food is something that connects us all. We want to be there for you through every stage of your business and help you to continue to serve your customers well -regardless of the circumstances. Thats why we have compile...d some of our top tips for transitioning to takeaway - ensuring that you give your customers an exceptional "to-go" experience every time! Keep a look at as will be sharing these over the coming week! The first tip? The Takeaway Experience is an Extension of your Dine In Experience It can feel like a challenge to control the takeaway experience in the same way that you might a dine in experience, but there are some great ways that you can ensure your customers are still getting the gold standard at home. 1. A carefully curated menu of takeaway items that you know will transport well and that you know you can present well will help to ensure that you are providing your customers with a great experience at home and that they will not receive their food in a poor condition. 2. Food packaging is critical to a good food experience when the menu is to go. Select sturdy, easy to use packaging that will keep food insulated (such as foil, paperboard and pulp), with quality lids and seals to prevent leakage and that is beautifully presented. First impressions count. 3. Create a checklist system and train your staff who are packaging orders on the quality and presentation standards you have determined for your takeaway menu. Every person who works with you is a valuable cog in the wheel and can help you to deliver an exceptional in-home experience for your customers. Stay tuned for more tips coming your way in the coming days!

16.01.2022 WILL MY FOIL CONTAINER GET RECYCLED? Did you know that aluminium foil is one of the most valuable materials in the recycling stream? This is because foil is pure in composition and can be melted and reformed an endless amount of times. But there are some best practices when it comes to making sure that your foil container ends up in the right place. Smaller sheets or pieces of foil as well as small containers can sometimes fail to be picked up at the waste facility or may not... get recycled if contaminated with grease or food remnants. So what can you do to make sure your foil container lives on? Its easy, simply rinse your foil container well after use, fold it down just like we show you here (or if you are recycling a foil sheet scrunch it up into a tennis ball size) and then place it in your curbside recycling bin. Easy. JOIN THE REFOILUTION - want more tips on the benefits of foil packaging? Learn more at https://jointherefoilution.com/

16.01.2022 Need a strong and reliable food tray for take home meals that is the ideal single-serve portion? Weve got you covered. The new smoothwall foil tray is everything you have been looking for when it comes to take home meal packaging. Lightweight but strong, easy to seal, transports food with ease and can be re-heated at home by your customers in the microwave or oven. Did we also mention it ticks all the boxes when it comes to sustainability? Just landed on the shop! https://www.confoil.com.au/smoothwall-tray-750ml-600-per-ca

14.01.2022 If you have been following Confoils REFOILUTION, you might well be aware by now that aluminium foil is quite possibly one of the most sustainable, food packaging options going around. Why does this matter? Well, in case you werent aware, here in Australia, as in much of the world, we have an increasing waste problem on our hands. The good news is that we dont need to reinvent the wheel. We encourage you to learn more about the amazing environmental benefits of foil and m...ake the switch in your business. Together, we can be champions for change! LOCAL MANUFACTURING = A SMALLER ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT Consider this, when you buy a locally manufactured product such as Confoils foil trays, it greatly reduces the number of steps in the supply chain and transportation to get from where it is manufactured, into your hands. "Local manufacturing reduces the food miles of our products, further reducing their environmental impact, explains Alison Buxton, Chief Executive Officer. "Confoil is a business truly dedicated to reducing their environmental impact and in addition to a sustainable product range, we have also installed over 2,000 solar panels on manufacturing site rooftops to power production. This has reduced our CO2 emissions by over 525 tonne - the same as taking 114 cars off the road each year." Do something amazing for the environment by making better packaging choices. Together, we can be part of the solution! Learn more at https://jointherefoilution.com/

11.01.2022 Today marks the start of Planet Ark's national Recycling Week and we are excited to play a part in sharing their messaging around recycling education and fostering a stronger understanding of this very important topic. As signatories to the Australian Packaging Covenant, we are commited to a sustainable future. Over 70% of our core product offering here at Confoil is in the form of 100% recyclable and endlessly renewable aluminium foil food packaging. With additional food pac...kaging products made from compostable pulp and recyclable and biodegradable paper-board. But how do you and your consumers know whether a product is in fact recyclable? Australians and New Zealanders care about the environment and want to do the right thing. But with hundreds of recycling labels out there, getting recycling right can be confusing and even recycling gurus can get it wrong. Today we want to put a spotlight on understanding recycling labels and the concept of "check it before you chuck it". By taking the time to understand recycling labels we can all help to do our bit in making sure that the products we use will end up in the right place so that they can see a new lease on life.

06.01.2022 Did you know there is NO LIMIT on how many times aluminium foil can be recycled? Simply put, its pretty amazing stuff. Aluminium does not lose any of its properties or quality, so unlike plastic, can be recycled over and over again! In fact, some 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use - in some form or another and recycling aluminium also saves energy when compared to whats required for its primary production. According to the Odyssey Online, only 6.5% of plast...ic material produced is ever actually recycled, despite the little green leaf on most plastic products suggesting that the products are eco-friendly and recyclable. The fact of the matter is that plastics present a number of recycling challenges. Could aluminium foil be the answer? We think so... and we are not the only ones. With many businesses becoming increasingly aware of their environmental impact, we are seeing a revival of aluminium foil across many food and beverage categories, from water in cans to ready meals in foil trays. And it makes sense. Our recycling systems are already well equipped to process aluminium, meaning that there is no need to reinvent the wheel. If you would like to learn more about the incredible environmental benefits of foil, be sure to head on over to https://www.jointherefoilution.com and Join The Refoilution with us! #watchthisspace #jointherefoilution #foil #aluminiumfoil #waronwaste #saynotosingleuseplastics #saybyetoplastics #foilfortheplanet #cleanupouroceans #circulareconomy

05.01.2022 Happy Monday! Heres hoping that the slightly easing restrictions saw a bit of a boom in business for you over the weekend! Here in Melbourne, the sun was shining and it was just the perfect weekend to grab a coffee and some food to go from our favourite local cafes. We are continuing our series of top tips and tricks for providing an exceptional takeaway experience today with another little nugget.... CREATING THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE... Think about the last time you received something extra or unexpected from a service experience. Maybe it was as simple as the barista greeting you by name and remembering how you like your coffee. When we think about it, we do this frequently as second nature in hospitality. Extend this feeling of connection with your customers, even if they are not dining in by considering ways that you can surprise and delight them and add value to their experience at home. Little gestures can go a long way and make you memorable - because everyone likes to feel special and taken care of. You might like to prepare a hand written note from the chef to include in each order, or a wine pairing suggestion card. You could add fortune cookies with a card of thanks for supporting your business. The point is, it doesnt have to cost the earth, but it should be from the heart. Give a little love and you get it back.

05.01.2022 Does your food fit your packaging, or does your packaging fit your food?

Today we are talking Tips & Tricks for takeaway again and we want to talk about your packaging being FIT FOR PURPOSE. Your packaging should always be fit for your food and should provide the right properties to protect the integrity of what you are del...ivering - even in transit. Carefully consider the materials you are selecting and how they perform to fit your needs. Order samples easily on our website to take our containers for a test drive and use our website as a resource - each product page features an abundance of information around the materials we use to produce our trays and their properties. Or simply get in touch with our team on +61 3 8720 1900 to have a chat about your needs! Our customer service team would love to help you work out the best options for your menu. See more

02.01.2022 Several weeks ago we had the pleasure of meeting and talking to Jonathan Cosentino of the stunning eatery and deli Via Porta located in Melbournes leafy Mont Albert.

01.01.2022 Happy Monday friends! Heres hoping that the weekend was bustling for your business with takeaway orders! We are sharing a series of our best tips and tricks to create an outstanding takeaway experience for your customers - each and every time to keep them coming back for more. We have been lucky enough to work hand in hand with local cafes, bakeries, restaurants and takeaway food outlets for over 50 years and we hope these little tips inspire and help you adjust under the cu...rrent circumstances and beyond! We shared our first hot tip last week, the second? BRANDED PACKAGING IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE AN EXPERIENCE The packaging you use to facilitate your takeaway menu can be so much more than just a functional covering to get from point a to point b it can also be a great way to highlight and continue your brand experience to customers eating on the go, as well as an opportunity to intentionally create something that fits the needs of your product and showcases it beautifully at the same time. The way that your food is presented is as important for your takeaway menu as it is for your dine in options. You only get one shot at a first impression! Remember that branding doesnt have to be complex or expensive. Even stamps and stickers can do a great job of presenting your brand and can work beautifully with our foil, Dualpak paperboard and pulp tray ranges. BONUS TIP! Consider using Q Codes to add to your brand experience through packaging! This can link your customer to information such as cooking tips, the sustainability story of the food packaging or even the origins of the food they are about to consume! Talk about adding to an experience!
