SINGAPORE: A prolonged circuit breaker in Singapore could pose a challenge to companies supplying disposable food containers, as demand ...
Much of the increased demand comes from food and beverage outlets “panic buying”, said operations director of Dillic International Priscilla Ng.
Customised packaging allows F&B companies to choose the type of packaging materials to be used. They can also design the look of the food packaging. Demand for their food packaging products has doubled overall and even tripled for certain products, she said, adding that supermarkets, butchers, hotels and dormitories are also buying more of their products."Truckers are stretched, warehouse guys are stretched, suppliers and manufacturers are stretched. We see a huge demand from the ground and we want to meet that demand."
"I do see that this will prolong as long as COVID-19 will be around. Unless the restrictions are eased on both sides of the Causeway.", four days before the new measures kicked in. The circuit breaker prohibits customers from dining-in at restaurants. Only food takeaways and deliveries will be permitted for F&B establishments from Apr 7 to May 4.
However, general manager of Wheeler’s Yard Amanda Ong said that the cafe was having difficulties getting hold of additional stock from suppliers, although they are not actively putting in orders.
