Food Packaging & Food Service News

We’ve all seen the musical greeting cards, but a musical product box? One word…Genius! I’m not sure if that could be applied to take out food packaging, but it’s an intriguing thought.

Some not so great sales forecasts coming in from food operators. Look for value meals popping up in the near future.

Well here’s case and point to the previous topic. Value meals will be big in Q1 I think.

Compostable packaging

Big Apple’s big drink ban is postponed for 90 days! Let’s hope the National Restaurant Association and American Beverage Association are successful in their arguments that the city has no legal grounds to issue such a mandate. Anyone who has read my previous posts on the large soda ban will know how I feel about government bans.

Yet another value meal extension.

Here is a good example of a food service operator who really jumped into the “green” movement in a big way. The only thing missing from his line up of food packaging is our Harvest Fiber products, but that’s for another time. I wonder if the green packaging movement will continue to gain momentum if the sales forecast from the story listed above is accurate?
