Ready meals deserve packaging that performs under pressure
From direct-to-consumer meal boxes to wholesale distribution of pre-prepped meals, the ready meal industry relies on packaging that can do it all. It must be robust, food-safe and easy to use, while preserving freshness, enabling portion control and guiding the consumer at every step. Whether you're shipping oven-ready components, chilled sauces or dry grains, DaklaPack provides packaging solutions that combine technical reliability with brand appeal.

Why standard packaging often fails in meal kit logistics
Meal kits and ready meals come with unique challenges. Components vary in texture, temperature tolerance and shelf life. Some need to be microwaved. Others need to stay sealed until use. And all must survive transport without leaks, label smudges or ingredient mix-ups.
Generic packaging solutions often fall short. They lack structural strength for transport, compatibility with heating methods, or space for clear multi-language instructions. Kits packed manually in-house are prone to inconsistency and inefficiency. That’s where DaklaPack makes the difference: we provide food-grade packaging formats built for modularity, automation and final-mile logistics.
Because every meal starts with the right packaging
From single-portion pouches to complete boxed sets, DaklaPack develops packaging formats that adapt to your concept, recipe or distribution model. One flaw in barrier strength, seal integrity or moisture control can destroy texture, compromise flavour or shorten shelf life dramatically. Outdoor brands, emergency food suppliers and premium convenience labels need packaging that thrives in extreme conditions: temperature swings, rough handling, long-term storage and on-the-go use. We understand these challenges and create solutions that work.
Functional meal packaging that works everywhere
Food reacts instantly to oxygen, humidity and pressure changes. Weak films, poor lamination or inconsistent sealing can lead to soggy textures, broken components, flavour loss or unusable portions. When consumers are hiking, travelling or relying on an emergency kit, packaging cannot afford to fail. That is why materials must be tough, barriers secure and user interaction effortless: easy opening, clean resealing and intuitive dosing. DaklaPack develops packaging engineered to perform in demanding conditions while protecting product quality:
- Durable seams withstand rough handling
- Strong barriers protect flavour and shelf life
- Recyclable options supporting sustainable concepts
- Lightweight formats ideal for travel and adventure
- Custom sizes for single or family servings
Packaging for hot or cold meals
Packaging formats that protect, portion and present
Packaging for ready meals and meal kits must strike a balance between practicality and presentation. DaklaPack develops formats that cater to different use cases: from microwaveable single portions to multi-component family packs or seasonal menu kits. For wet or semi-solid components like sauces or soups, we offer sachets and stand-up pouches with high-seal integrity and strong oxygen barriers. For dry elements, such as rice, spices or toppings, we provide flatbags or zip pouches that are resealable and easy to handle.
To ensure a clean presentation and secure logistics, components can be packed in trays, sleeves or rigid cartons, with clear segmentation and intuitive layout. Branding elements, dietary labels and preparation instructions are integrated into the design to enhance the consumer experience. Whether your focus is retail display, direct delivery or in-store pickup, we provide food-safe packaging that aligns with your brand values and logistical setup.

Working with DaklaPack
Successful meal kit operations depend on coordination between packaging, production, storage and delivery. At DaklaPack, we make that coordination seamless. Every project begins with a technical intake, where we define your kit components, packaging needs, logistics setup and data requirements. Based on this, we build and test prototypes that match your brand identity and workflow. Once approved, we move into structured production and fulfilment.
You’ll work with a dedicated team that includes packaging engineers, food safety specialists and fulfilment coordinators. With everything managed in-house (from sourcing to stock control) we ensure consistency, short lead times and clear communication throughout your supply chain.
