This specialty combo box is engineered for maximum efficiency and customization, featuring dividers and inserts that securely hold a variety of 7-Eleven hot foods and bakery items. Designed to streamline operations, this packaging solution enhances packing speed, transport security, and ease of handling for consumers, store personnel, and delivery drivers alike.
To further optimize delivery efficiency, the self-locking secondary carrier incorporates built-in handles and cup holders, facilitating the secure transport of combo boxes and beverages. This design allows delivery personnel to carry orders with one hand, improving maneuverability and speed. Both packaging components require no adhesive for assembly and ship flat, reducing storage requirements and simplifying staff training.
The combo box primary package measures 8.5” x 8.5” x 2”, ensuring a precise fit within the secondary carrier while providing sufficient capacity for multiple hot food and bakery items. The secondary carrier, measuring 9” x 9” x 8”, is designed for versatile order configurations. It can accommodate up to three combo boxes without beverages or two combo boxes when utilizing the drink holder.
For beverage transport, the carrier seamlessly integrates with standard carton drink carriers, each accommodating four beverages. The four perforated cup slots, each with a 3.5” diameter, are designed to stabilize various drink sizes, including the extra-large Big Gulp. The perforated sections allow for adaptive customization, modifying the configuration based on order specifications. With a four-inch drink recess, the design enhances stability and minimizes spillage during transit.
Both the combo box and secondary carrier are constructed from corrugated paperboard, ensuring structural integrity while prioritizing sustainability. The primary food containers are compostable, while the secondary carrier is fully recyclable, aligning with environmental sustainability initiatives and reducing overall waste impact.
With a balance of functionality, durability, and environmental responsibility, the Quick Bite Combo Box ensures a seamless, efficient, and eco-friendly experience for stores, customers and delivery drivers alike.
