At present almost every food packaging material available in the country is either made of Styrofoam or cardboard. These packaging solutions almost always cause food to spill and turn cold.

Also Styrofoam has become a banned material in many countries mainly due to the fact that it is hazardous to health. The Steam Boat Restaurant has stepped forward to find a solution to the food industry’s packaging troubles by introducing a new form of packaging solutions using the latest Japanese technologies to the local market. At present the Steam Boat Restaurant which is a family run business is 12 years in the food industry.

The Steam Boat Restaurant specializes in both Japanese and Chinese foods where takeaway and deliveries are also provided. The restaurant’s head office is located in Nawala and branches are operational in the areas of Colombo, Attidiya and Mt. Lavinia.

“The material that we are using for our packaging purposes is of high quality and presents no health hazards. Also with this particular packaging the food is ready to be laid on the table. Also when warm food is packaged the special anti fog layer in the packaging keeps the food fresh and warm. This type of packaging is ideal especially with regards to Japanese cuisine as it requires an immense amount of attention to detail with regards to presentation. Although this method of food packaging is costly we are not charging our customers for it but are absorbing this cost by our organization as we want our customers to get the maximum benefit”, says Sheron Fernando, Director of the Steam Boat Restaurant.

Among the many packaging solutions offered the Bento Box has become popular with regards to the packaging of set Japanese takeaway lunches. The Bento Box comes with two locking systems and offers divided compartments where curries and salads etc. can be stored separately.

“We were the first organization to start the delivery of Japanese foods for which the Bento Box is the ideal packaging solution. This form of packaging prevents the food from spilling over and can be immediately presented on the table for your guests. Also this product is 100% disposable and some of our packaging solutions are even microwavable. Also if there any leftovers one can immediately close the box and refrigerate, making the work very easy for the housewives. We also offer special packaging when delivering food for parties and other forms of formal functions”, further stated Fernando.

The special packaging offered by the Steam Boat Restaurant, whilst being presentable and handy is also an easy and effective solution that can be presented on the table in a ready-to-eat method. Also the packaging is done in a manner in which the entire menu is visible enabling customer to get a view of what they are purchasing. Another very important fact is that this type of packaging presents no health hazards so therefore one is not only guaranteed of high quality packaging solutions but also a safe and guaranteed method of food takeaways.
