# Tied Eco Takeaway Take-Out Packaging by JoAnn Arello Contains All Food, Condiments and Cutlery By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-10-09 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/take-out-packaging-by-joann-arello References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2011/10/eco-friendly-chinese-take-out.html) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Eco-Friendly-Chinese-Take-Out-Packaging-Menu/1910611) Typically, when you order takeaway food, you're picking up a card or styrofoam container, napkins, packets of condiments and plastic eating utensils that are all held inside of a plastic bag. This eco-friendly Chinese take-out packaging by JoAnn Arello was designed to more efficiently organize the items that you receive from the restaurant, with the ideals of convenience and [waste reduction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-packaging-concept) in mind. The suggestion is based around the conception of a [hexagonal cardboard box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essentials-platter-design) with a fold-out tripartite divider within. The bowl can accommodate one to three dishes kept separately, and closed in with a thin cover below the lid. In the gap created, [sauces and chopsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutlery-dispenser) can be stored, providing an extra pocket of insulation for the hot food below. This concept for Chinese take-out packaging by JoAnn Arello requires no bag at all, and can even be carried with one or two more meals thanks to twine fed through die-cut slits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Take-out Packaging:** There is an opportunity for businesses to create innovative packaging solutions that reduce waste and increase convenience for customers. - **Multi-purpose Food Packaging:** There is an opportunity for packaging designers to create multi-functional packaging that can accommodate for food, condiments, and utensils, reducing waste and improving the customer experience. - **Die-cut Packaging Design:** There is an opportunity for designers to create innovative packaging solutions using die-cut techniques that allow for efficient use of cardboard and reduce waste. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Restaurants and food delivery services can benefit from adopting eco-friendly packaging solutions that improve the customer experience. - **Packaging:** Packaging designers and manufacturers can leverage die-cutting technology to create innovative packaging solutions that reduce waste and increase efficiency. - **Sustainability:** The concept of sustainable packaging allows companies to showcase their commitment to the environment and appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Combinational On-the-Go Food Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beltur-go.md) - [Take-Out Box Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tablebag.md) - [Compostable Takeout Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-takeout-containers.md) - [3-in-1 Meal Packaging Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-to-go-packs.md) - [Edible Treat Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treat-container.md) - [Recyclable Food Delivery Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recyclable-delivery-bowls.md) - [Rice Straw Tissue Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/third-size-tissue-box.md) - [Compostable Sauce Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-carp-packaging.md) - [Multifunctional Cardboard QSR Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tablebag.md)
