Choosing a format

FX Sanmartí developed a box for transporting paellas in collaboration with graphic designers. The design includes handles and accommodates different pan sizes; the format must match the container and delivery service.

Product, dimensions and handling

  • Dimensions: distinguish usable internal space from external dimensions.

  • Handling: describe transport, stacking and storage conditions.

State whether the pan will fully separate food from cardboard and describe expected heat, steam or grease so material and design can be confirmed.

Customisation and printing
