Anchor Packaging Adds New Size to Incredi-Bowls Line

Anchor Packaging has added a new product to its Incredi-Bowls line of microwavable bowls and lids. The round 7.25-inch polypropylene (PP) bowls are designed to enhance the operator’s bottom line and are the perfect choice for a large individual serving or a family-size portion. Available in 20-, 24-, 32- and 40-ounce depths, the bowls share a common, polypropylene, vented lid. This new size joins the current 5-inch, 6-inch and 8.5-inch bowls ranging from 5-oucnes to 48-ounces for a total offering of 16 bowls in four footprints.

Not only is the smaller footprint more cost effective than larger diameters, the microwavable bowls are made with a natural mineral additive, reducing the use of petroleum-based resin by 40 percent. The use of less PP resin allows Anchor to pass on the savings to their customers as a more sustainable option. One lid to fit four bowls eliminates confusion, saves space in the prep area and reduces inventory storage costs.

The black bowls provide a table-ready presentation in a durable, cut-resistant material. The leak-resistant closure eliminates messy spills. The vented lid includes integral Clear Guard anti-fog technology to prevent condensation or “fogging” of the lid. This maximizes hot-case merchandising opportunities for retailers and eliminates takeout order errors for foodservice operators, while keeping hot foods looking fresh and appealing. The four bowls and lid will withstand temperatures to 230 degrees Fahrenheit in warming units, under heat lamps or in the microwave. There is no need to re-plate chilled, prepared foods, when reheated in the microwave.

In addition to hot cases, the Incredi-Bowls and lids can be used in refrigerated or ambient displays. All are dishwasher safe providing consumer-convenient reusability and are recyclable curbside.

Anchor Packaging’s products include affordable, upscale to-go packaging to merchandising prepared, ready-to-heat meals in supermarkets, and for takeout meals offered by restaurants. Anchor’s products are found in most foodservice operations and include stock and custom rigid packaging, as well as a broad line of cling film wraps.
