In an industry that is consistently gravitating toward <a href="https://1851franchise.com/can-i-take-your-order-why-voice-ordering-is-revolutionizing-the-foodservice-space-2710983#franbuzz">flashy tech innovations</a>, <a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/content/2019-foodservice-packaging-awards?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=qsrs-packaging-awards-call-out-excellent-packaging-design-by-kfc-mcdonalds-and-more-2711585" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">QSR Magazine</a> and the Foodservice Packaging Institute (FPI) highlighted one of the restaurant industry’s oft-overlooked branding opportunities—great packaging design. QSR points out that packaging innovations are more relevant than ever due to a <a href="https://1851franchise.com/mcdonalds-dividends-seriously-deliver-on-delivery-2711405#franbuzz">booming demand for delivery</a>.&nbsp;“Consumers ultimately want their hot food hot and their cold food cold,” said Natha Dempsey, President of the FPI, to QSR. “[But] it’s becoming more challenging to do that in a complex restaurant world.”Dempsey pinpointed that all of the best-in-class packaging shares the following characteristics: good performance, eco-friendly construction or disposability, and is affordable for operators to manufacture.&nbsp;The judges ranked<a href="https://www.delish.com/food-news/a27270487/kfc-cinnabon-dessert-biscuits/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=qsrs-packaging-awards-call-out-excellent-packaging-design-by-kfc-mcdonalds-and-more-2711585" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> KFC’s Cinnabon Dessert Biscuits</a> as the best overall package of the year for functionality, convenience and manufacturing, which includes an audible “click” upon closure of the box—definitely necessary with a sweet treat that could easily turn into a sugary mess all over your car. The paper carton looks deceptively simple, but when opened up reveals curved sides that snugly secure the biscuits.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nrn.com/quick-service/cheesy-bacon-fries-return-mcdonald-s-part-new-global-menu?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=qsrs-packaging-awards-call-out-excellent-packaging-design-by-kfc-mcdonalds-and-more-2711585" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">McDonald’s Cheesy Bacon Fries</a>, another potentially messy snack, also earned praise from the judges. The paperboard-based package has all of the qualities of a leak-proof and secure plastic package—but with none of the plastic.
