Why Mexican Factories Are Actively Buying Lunch Box Forming Machines?

Mexican customers are buying lunch box forming machines for three main reasons: rapid order growth, rising labor costs, and increasingly stringent environmental regulations.

  1. Continuous Growth of the Takeaway and Fast-Food Industry

In recent years, the number of local fast-food chains, burger brands, and delivery platforms in Mexico has increased significantly, maintaining a consistently high demand for disposable food packaging. Traditional manual box folding methods can no longer meet the demand for stable delivery.

  1. The Need to Reduce Reliance on Manual Labor

Although Mexico has a strong manufacturing base, the food packaging industry faces challenges such as high turnover of skilled workers and inconsistent efficiency. Automated disposable food box machines have become crucial for factories to reduce costs.

  1. Environmentally Friendly Packaging Becomes the Mainstream

More and more Mexican customers are explicitly stating:

“We need equipment that can produce paper, recyclable burger boxes.”

This directly drives the demand for eco-friendly burger box machines.
