DAT FRY BOX

Grab, Go, Enjoy—No Waste, No Hassle; air Flavors, Smart Packaging.

"Papas de feria” (fair potatoes), also known as Papas Locas, are a beloved Salvadoran street food, a staple during patron saint festivals, carnivals, and outdoor celebrations. Affordable, accessible, and widely popular, they are enjoyed by all Salvadorans.

"For fans of fried potatoes: keep the sauce on your fries, protect your food from dust and bugs, and take it anywhere!
DAT FRY BOX was designed for Grab & Go."

How it started

  • Most containers don’t have lids, causing leftover food to be discarded.

  • Products are frequently carried in plastic bags with disposable utensils, increasing single-use plastic waste.

  • Open packaging exposes the food to contamination and insects.

  • The sauce sticks to the packaging! Do we need to say more?

Designing a solution

  • We experimented with a grab-and-go packaging system that:

  • Protects the product from contamination and insects.

  • Is easy to carry, eliminating the need for additional plastic bags and utensils.

  • Preserves leftovers, reducing food waste.
