(St. Louis, MO) August 3, 2015. Anchor Packaging, Inc. announces the latest addition to their line of Culinary Squares® bases and lids, offering increased value to the operator looking for ways to improve their image while controlling costs.
With the same inside food space as a 9″ x 9″ foam clamshell, the Culinary Squares® product line from Anchor offers a truly affordable upgrade from foam. The durable, cut-resistant material of the bases and the food visibility provided by the clear lids, provide the ultimate combination of an upscale presentation at a value price. At a time when food prices are on the rise, this line was designed to maximize performance and minimize packaging cost.
A new, deeper dome joins the existing single and 3-compartment, vented lids made with crystal clear polypropylene (PP) with integral Clear Guard® anti-fog technology. The matching 8.5″ square, black PP bases, available in single and 3-compartment designs, accept all three lids designed with secure, leak-resistant closures to preserve the food presentation and avoid messy spills. These packages withstand temperatures to 230°F in warming units, under heat lamps, or in the microwave. No need to re-plate chilled, prepared foods, when reheated in the microwave.
Containers are made with a natural mineral additive, reducing the use of petroleum based resin by 40%. Bases and lids are dishwasher safe providing consumer-convenient reusability and are recyclable curbside.

Used for merchandising prepared, ready-to-heat meals in supermarkets, and for takeout meals offered by restaurants, Anchor’s products can be found in most foodservice operations.
