Hot, Bagged, and Now Recycle Ready: Carryout Food Packaging
ProAmpac’s microwaveable RotiBag for retail turns single-use plastic packaging for hot take-home food into a sustainable winner with value-added features.
Would you prefer a recycle ready or post-consumer recycle (PCR) content bag for your take-home hot rotisserie chicken? ProAmpac provides two new sustainable choices for what has been a disposable, single-use plastic fixture for hot takeout food at grocery stores nationwide.
The flexible packaging specialist’s RotiBag is a source-reduced and more sustainable alternative to traditional clamshell containers for ready-to-eat prepared foods. Besides traditional plastic, RotiBag is also available in mono-material recycle-ready or virgin-resin-reducing PCR packaging.
“The RotiBag addresses a need in the retail food market for a more sustainable and leak-resistant packaging solution for ready-to-eat products,” says Amir Saffar, director of global sustainability innovation. “ProAmpac's RotiBag is a high-performance flexible package built for durability, making it ideal for greasy foods. The slim profile ensures efficient shelf display, while its FDA-approved hot fill and microwave-safe features plus sustainable options make it an excellent choice for achieving greener packaging goals."
With these sustainability features, RotiBag enables food retailers to choose packaging that aligns with their environmental strategies without compromising performance.
The microwave-ready bag’s value-added features include an integrated handle that eliminates the need for secondary bags. This makes it ideal for hot grab-and-go items for a broad range of prepared foods, and the fog-resistant packaging maximizes consumer-pleasing product visibility.
The durable, leak-resistant bag prevents spills and presents a slim profile to maximize shelf space. High-definition flexo-printed graphics provide custom branding for visual impact.
