UK-based Tri-Star Packaging has added a new hinged hybrid pack to its portfolio for food-to-go operators.
The Coalesce pack is said to allow retailers to showcase salads, sushi and baked products such as pastries, cakes and pretzels. It is available in two sizes - 500cc and 1,000cc.
The pack has an ultra-clear hinged lid attached to a board base, which can be printed internally and externally for greater brand appeal and shelf impact.
Tri-Star Packaging managing director Kevin Curran said: "Consumers choose what to eat with their eyes as much as their stomachs, so insisting on a pack with superb visibility that really showcases your food is a shrewd business move.
"The Coalesce is an outstanding pack with an eye-catching design that's sure to maximize sales and guarantee repeat visits time and time again."
According to Tri-Star, the transparent rPET lid offers an increased visibility and the pack is easy to stack facilitated by its tamper-evident design, which help reduce labeling costs.
As the pack's board is produced from wood fibers and the lid from recycled / recyclable materials, it can be easily separated into different recycling waste streams, the company said.
Tri-Star Packaging is preparing to showcase its product range for foodservice operators and contract caterers at the ScotHot 2015 event, scheduled to be held from 4 - 5 March.
Products to be demonstrated include Tri-Star's new Tri-Pot deli pot, Tri-Label Online cloud-based labelling software solution, the Allergen Food Rotation Label, and Taste range of paperboard takeaway packaging.
