This [modular takeaway container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish) from City Food features an adaptive cardboard design to enhance the portability of personalized food orders.

This modular system of meal boxes uses a variety of clip-in containers as attachments, to ensure each [customized plate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-packaging-solution) is properly constructed to divide a unique array of ailments. This non-glued folded packaging provides the freedom of manually assembling a container for both salads or desserts alike. The [eco-friendly cardboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seal-n-flip-packaging) contains minimal traces of the necessary polyethylene coating to lessen chemical interaction while also remaining leak-proof.

This packaging is adaptive to customers' needs within the fast food industry and is capable of meeting a number of combinations, maximizing usability and functionality. An added benefit of the City Food takeaway system is its transition from transportation vessel to a food tray ready for consumption.
