SABERT Corporation Europe will be showcasing the firm’s latest food-to-go packaging solutions at the annual Lunch! show at ExCel, London, from September 27-28 as the business marks its 40th anniversary.
The firm cited research from industry analyst Lumina Intelligence, which revealed that the food-to-go category increased by 31.7% in 2022 to a value of £21.4 billion and is expected to grow by 4.1% in 2023.
“For many operators, food-to-go represents their biggest opportunity and we’ll be showing some of our latest innovations aimed at the sector at the Lunch! show,” said Sabert’s UK&I sales manager Clive Pickerill. “On show will be our recently launched Snap2Go, and Deli2Go ranges, plus our sustainable paper cutlery.
“In each case, our focus is on making food look great, while also putting the emphasis on offering best value, coupled with best functionality, and best-in-class sustainability credentials.
“At Lunch!, Sabert will be celebrating 40 years of providing innovative, value-added products to the highest quality standards, supported by outstanding customer service. Our mission is to offer our clients the best guarantees in terms of quality, safety and service.”
Sabert’s new Snap2Go range is said to offer an ‘aesthetically pleasing, minimalistic design but with maximum functionality’. A clear rPET lid boosts visibility and offers a one-hand closure. Moisture and grease-resistant, Sabert added that Snap2Go is an ‘excellent’ choice for chilled meals and food-to-go applications.
Made in Europe, Snap2Go is a fully recyclable solution. The base is made from FSC-certified paper and the rPET lid contains a ‘guaranteed minimum 50% recycled content’. Snap2Go is available in four sizes – 375ml, 500ml, 750ml and 1000ml – with two high visibility rPET clip-lid sizes. Sabert also offers bespoke designs and sizes with customisable print available.
The new Deli2Go board tray range, meanwhile, can be used for both hot and cold foods. Available in four sizes, they can be paired with one common PP lid with external clip that provides one-hand closure. Both the tray and the lid are fully recyclable.
Sabert’s new patented recyclable paper cutlery is said to be ‘strong, robust, and performs well with stiffness and cut quality’ when used with hot or cold foods. The range has full FSC chain of custody accreditations, and is fully recyclable in the paper waste stream.
Sabert UK&I MD Alex Noake added, “As a consultative business, we can ensure that operators are using the perfect packaging solutions to best fit their business, while helping them to improve their sustainability credentials.”
