Anchor Packaging

Anchor Packaging, headquartered in St. Louis, MO, is one of the largest thermoformers of rigid plastic containers and PVC cling film for the foodservice industry. Rigid takeout and delivery food containers made of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PETE) provide packaging solutions for restaurants, quick-serve chains, supermarkets, convenience stores, and food processors - anywhere prepared foods are sold.   

Hinged PP clamshells and containers with separate lids withstand temperatures to 230°F under heat lamps, in hot cases, and microwaves. Clear, anti-fog-lids increase impulse sales and prevent order errors, and the leak-resistant closures eliminate messy spills. These sturdy PP packages are dishwasher-safe and consumer reusable.

Crisp Food Technologies®, hinged and two-piece PP packages, keep fried foods hot & crispy for up to three hours in a hot case and 30-minute delivery. The unique, patented convection cross-flow design relieves moisture and condensation while maintaining food taste, texture, and temperature.

Food processor trays with high-impact co-polymer polypropylene withstand the rigors of the refrigerated and frozen distribution channels. Flat flanges provide an excellent surface for a reliable seal with lidding film.

The Natures Best® solutions include PP bases made with 40% less polypropylene resin and sturdy product designs that are dishwasher safe and consumer reusable.

PETE hinged containers and bases with separate lids are made with FDA-approved, post-consumer recycled content. This high-clarity material offers ultimate food visibility with eye-catching appeal to increase impulse sales from self-serve cases. Safe-Pinch® tamper-evident, clear, hinged containers highlight chilled salads and sandwiches and are designed to allow cut fruit and vegetables to respirate. Also perfect for ambient displays of baked goods, dry snacks, and candy.
