You have several options:

• Important: The packaging must always be food-safe and clean. Solid containers are particularly suitable for cakes and delicate dishes. Ensure that the cold chain is maintained for delicate dishes (e.g. transport in a cool bag or cool box).

This ensures that your dishes arrive fresh, safe and hygienic!
