Answer
I always start by listing out what my packaging must do. Yours looks like thermal insulation, cooling, protecting the food in travel, expressing your brand, and perhaps presenting your food.
The ice feels expensive, is it dry ice? Would you consider having a return program, where you can reuse the ice.
But to answer your question directly, I prefer having my network do the vetting for me. Failing that, Google has been a friend.
