Most surprisingly, many Chinese dishes that
are zestfully eaten in the US are not found on Chinese Food Boxes stalls in China
like TSO’s chicken, sesame beef and most of the sweet and sour stuff.
These are
something that more appropriately referred to as American-Chinese cuisines. And
believe it or not Chinese food boxes are a typical American invention and you
will find no trace of them in China.
Chinese Food Boxes were invented in 1894
It goes back to November 13, 1894, in Chicago,
when an inventor named Fredrick Week Wilcox applied for the patent for these
boxes, he called "paper pail." It was basically a single sheet of
paper folded into a leak-proof container.
The term paper pail never caught on
and they are called the humble old Chinese food boxes. The shape of these boxes was inspired by
little wooden pails used to carry uncooked oysters back in the 19th
century.
Fluid Proof Design of Custom Chinese Food Boxes
A custom cereal Packaging box is a pretty nifty piece of
design. It is ingeniously cut out from a single sheet of paper. It is then
folded up into an attractive container shape and does not allow liquids to seep
out from the sides.
Most people who look at it or get their orders
in it, do not realize this benefit factor and get emotionally attached to it
after exclaiming “what a great package” or something similar. It is a great work of paper art or actually
origami but alas many people do not give it a second thought.
Many of the Chines Food Boxes are Microwavable and Recyclable
These Cereal Boxes are recyclable and microwave safe.
They are environmentally friendly and they are also safe for your health if you
microwave your food in them. This fact is something that should make them
popular among the environmentalists and the health-conscious folks alike.
