What is the difference between PET, PP and MFPP food packaging?

PET offers glass-like clarity for cold drinks and display, but it is not designed for hot food. PP is semi-clear, tougher and microwave-safe, ideal for hot fill, meal prep and deli use. MFPP is polypropylene reinforced with mineral filler, giving foam-like rigidity and heat resistance, making it a common replacement for EPS foam hinged containers.

Do you offer custom printing and OEM packaging?

Yes. Loms supports logo printing on cups and cutlery wrappers, custom carton marks, private-label inner packs and barcode labels. Artwork proofs and pre-production samples are confirmed before mass production.

What is the typical lead time for a container order?

Stock-size plain items typically ship within 15 to 25 days after deposit, while custom-printed or new-mold items usually require 25 to 40 days depending on quantity and season. Exact schedules are confirmed with each proforma invoice.

Which food-contact documents can you provide?

Depending on the item and destination market, we can provide third-party migration test reports referencing US FDA 21 CFR, EU Regulation 10/2011 or LFGB, material declarations and factory audit information. Verified factory information is also available on our Alibaba Verified profile.

Can I mix several products in one container?

Yes. Distributors frequently combine cups, lids, containers and cutlery kits in one 20GP or 40HQ shipment. Our team calculates carton dimensions and loading plans to optimize freight cost per unit.

Market Application & Trends in PNG

In Papua New Guinea, the demand for convenience is rising alongside urban development. Our clamshells serve three critical sectors: Quick Service Restaurants (QSR), which require high-heat tolerance; Institutional Catering, which prioritizes cost-efficiency and stackability; and Retail Grocery, where food-contact compliance and shelf appeal are non-negotiable. With our MFPP technology, we provide an eco-friendly, rigid alternative to traditional foam, perfectly suited for the humid tropical climate of PNG.
