In a cost-conscious and sustainability-driven foodservice sector, portion control packaging is more than a nice-to-have — it’s a competitive advantage. From commercial kitchens to quick-serve restaurants, efficient portioning helps reduce food waste, control serving costs, and improve hygiene — all while keeping operations compliant and consistent. At GM Food Packaging, we help distributors and foodservice professionals find the right portion control packaging solutions that meet their needs for performance, compliance, and customer satisfaction.
Why Portion Control Matters in Food Packaging
Food waste is a growing concern in the UK, with the hospitality sector alone generating hundreds of thousands of tonnes each year. A major contributor? Over-portioning. When packaging doesn’t support precise servings, food ends up in the bin — along with your profit margins.
Portion-controlled packaging solves this by delivering the right amount, every time — whether that’s individual sauce sachets, pre-packed dips, or measured toppings. It’s not just about waste reduction — it’s about:
- Cost efficiency: Prevents overuse of high-cost ingredients.
- Operational consistency: Standardises serving sizes across teams and shifts.
- Customer satisfaction: Ensures reliable portions with every order.
- Food safety: Minimises cross-contamination risks.
