During the 2019 Spring Canton Fair, Grizzlies presented a wider range of sustainable foodservice packaging solutions for international distributors, restaurant supply companies, packaging importers and private label customers. The exhibition provided an important opportunity to discuss OEM and ODM packaging programs with global B2B buyers.
Around 2019, the food packaging industry was moving quickly toward plastic reduction, paper-based packaging alternatives, compostable packaging options and more transparent compliance requirements. Many buyers were no longer looking only for low-cost disposable packaging, but for reliable factory supply, stable product performance and packaging solutions that could support changing market expectations.
2019 Packaging Market Focus: Plastic Reduction and Sustainable Alternatives
In 2019, single-use plastic reduction became one of the most discussed topics in the global packaging industry. For foodservice buyers, this trend created stronger demand for biodegradable tableware, compostable food packaging, paper food containers, takeaway boxes, food trays, plates, bowls and other alternatives to conventional plastic packaging.
At the Spring Canton Fair, Grizzlies introduced practical foodservice packaging solutions for restaurants, catering services, supermarkets, food delivery businesses and wholesale packaging distributors. The product discussions focused on daily-use packaging applications, including takeaway meals, prepared food, hot food service, cold food service and retail food packaging.
From Standard Disposable Packaging to Compliance-Ready Supply
For professional B2B buyers, sustainable packaging is not only about material replacement. It also involves food contact safety, responsible paper sourcing, compostability references, grease resistance, water resistance, printing safety, export documentation and consistent quality control.
During the exhibition, Grizzlies discussed common compliance-related topics with buyers, including FSC paper sourcing, EN 13432 compostability references, LFGB-related food contact requirements, FDA-related export requirements and project-based certification options for different target markets.
OEM and ODM Packaging Programs for Global Buyers
The 2019 Spring Canton Fair also showed growing demand for customized foodservice packaging. Many distributors and brand owners were looking for OEM and ODM support instead of simple off-the-shelf product supply.
Grizzlies supported buyers with product size selection, material options, coating choices, logo printing, private label packaging, carton packing, mixed container planning and bulk order supply. These services helped customers build packaging programs suitable for their local market, foodservice channels and retail distribution needs.
Food Contact Safety and Material Selection
Food contact safety remained a key concern for international buyers in 2019. For paper food packaging and disposable food containers, buyers paid attention to food-grade materials, safe printing, suitable coating layers and reliable performance when packaging hot, oily or moist food.
Grizzlies discussed packaging solutions designed for practical foodservice use, including oil-resistant food containers, water-resistant takeaway boxes, sturdy paper plates, food trays, bowls and packaging options suitable for restaurants, catering, delivery and supermarket prepared food sections.
Growing Interest in PFAS-Free and Fluorine-Free Packaging Directions
As buyers became more careful about grease-resistant food packaging, discussions around safer barrier solutions also increased. For packaging used with oily food, fried food, sauces and takeaway meals, customers wanted to understand how packaging could balance grease resistance, food safety and sustainability.
Grizzlies used the exhibition to communicate material options and long-term product development directions, including fluorine-free and PFAS-free packaging considerations for customers who needed safer grease resistance solutions for foodservice applications.
Reliable Factory Supply for Bulk Foodservice Packaging
In addition to product design and compliance, buyers at the Canton Fair also focused on supply stability. For distributors, restaurant chains and packaging brands, reliable lead time, consistent quality and factory-direct pricing are important when purchasing disposable food packaging in bulk.
As a direct OEM and ODM food packaging manufacturer, Grizzlies introduced its manufacturing capability, export experience and quality control process to help customers plan long-term foodservice packaging supply programs.
Building Long-Term B2B Cooperation
The 2019 Spring Canton Fair helped Grizzlies connect with international buyers who were preparing for a more compliance-driven and sustainability-focused packaging market. These face-to-face conversations helped us better understand customer needs for paper-based packaging, biodegradable food containers, compostable tableware and customized takeaway packaging.
Through the exhibition, Grizzlies continued to strengthen its role as a reliable foodservice packaging manufacturer for global B2B customers, supporting distributors, importers, restaurant supply companies and private label brands with factory-direct packaging solutions.
