Serving Up Print for the Meal Kit Industry

Hardly a day goes by that you don't see an advertisement for prepared meal kits touting delicious healthy meals delivered to your table. Often the service is monthly and it extends beyond everyday meals to include some organic foods or accommodations for those on special diets. Blue Apron, one of the biggest players in the market, advertises that subscribers can look forward to a different meal every day for a year.

In 2007, the first meal kit service was launched. By 2017, the number of services exceeded 170. It is estimated that by 2021, the annual revenue earned from these services will exceed sixty billion dollars. That translates into an average annual increase of thirty-eight percent. Much of this revenue will be made by the big players in the meal kit delivery industry such as Blue Apron, PeaPod and Fresh Direct. Amazon has even gotten on board. If you want to compete with the big players in the meal kit delivery industry, you'll need to be at the top of your game and make every effort to put your best foot forward. One way you can help ensure you’re noticed is by taking advantage of Sheer Print Solutions’ meal kit print services.
