Consumer Perception Study

Most operators treat food paper as a cost. Their customers treat it as part of the experience. We put branded and plain greaseproof head to head with 400 US consumers to find out exactly how much the wrap is worth. Spoiler: more than the paper costs.
What's inside

A taste of what we learned.

We partnered with Michigan State University to survey 400 US diners (ages 18-65) who regularly eat at local, independent restaurants – then went deeper with focus groups and interviews. Here's a taste of what we learned:
82% prefer branded packaging over plain – only 11% prefer plain.60% more likely to photograph a meal served in branded packaging.Nearly 70% still chose branded even when the same meal cost about 20% more.
