Special focus: Bag It, Box It, Move It

With off-premise and corporate catering on the rise, the need for stylish and customizable containers has never been more important.

Outside the Box lunch

Anchor’s rigid plastic packaging solutions protect the presentation for food to-go.  The “Out of the Box Lunch” contest at CSES2016 gave caterers the opportunity to show off their food creations in attractive black base and clear lid options. Hinged and two-piece packages on display with hot and cold foods provide innovative ideas to use in their business. The excitement continued during the live competition on the CSE2016 tradeshow floor in mid-March.
