FAQ
We have 2 ways to work together.
- Joining our network of local restaurants and consumers who pay for a subscription to Bold. You’ll keep your existing takeout inventory, but add in Bold’s inventory for members of our program.
2. Convert all of your takeaway packaging to reusables.
- We source and customize co-branded containers for your business.
- You add a per-item deposit ($1-2) to every customer order.
- Customers return containers to the Bold Reuse drop site at your business. When customers return the containers, you discount their next order with a credit equal to the deposit they paid. If they keep the container, you have already recouped your investment.
- Bold Reuse visits weekly to pick up returned containers from the drop site and deliver your order of clean containers.
It depends on how much inventory you need, and how often we service your location. Some customers see a 25% reduction in the packaging costs when they move to reusables.
We have various packaging sizes and types for you to choose from.
Bold containers are made of BPA-free polypropylene #5, which is generally considered one of the safest choices for plastic products (other #5 products include yogurt cups and baby bottles). #5 plastic is highly resistant to heat transfer and is super durable – our containers may be used up to 300 times before they are retired from service. At the end of their usable lives, we send them to a local recycling facility.

We are material agnostic and recognize there are pros and cons to every material which could be used for reusable packaging. While by no means perfect, plastic is lightweight, durable, and relatively inexpensive, which are all valuable aspects for reusable packaging. They need to be durable so we can wash and reuse them as many times as possible. And they need to be a size and shape that vendors are familiar with serving their food in. Since another material that fulfills all these criteria isn’t available at this time, we’ve decided to utilize a plastic container.
