Tri-Star Adds Bite to Lunchtimes with New Nibble Box

The Nibble Box provides the perfect opportunity for food-on-the-go retailers to offer mouth-watering lunch options to these consumers and thereby increase sales and enhance customer loyalty.

24 Jul 2012 --- Tri-Star promises to steal the show at this year’s lunch! exhibition with a stunning range of packaging innovations that will revolutionise the on-the-go dining experience for millions of consumers.

Among the exciting products on TriStar’s stand will be the new Nibble Box a stylish rPET pack that is perfect for holding a vast array of foods, from breakfast fruits and pasta salads to more exotic options like tapas, meze, and tortilla wraps.

Offering superb levels of visibility and freshness, the Nibble Box boasts a 1,000cc capacity and is manufactured to BRC-approved standards for food grade packaging. It can be configured with three different insert options to accommodate various product types, and finished either with a flat lid for eating on the move or with a domed lid for bakery products.

Kevin Curran, managing director of Tri-Star, said: “Many people these days are fed up with the bog-standard lunch fare on offer and want something a little bit different. The Nibble Box provides the perfect opportunity for food-on-the-go retailers to offer mouth-watering lunch options to these consumers and thereby increase sales and enhance customer loyalty. Food sold in the Nibble Box looks and tastes great – and it’s a fantastic option for eating delicious but messy food while on the move.”

TriStar will also be giving visitors to lunch! a chance to see its ingenious new UltraClear plus press&dress range of clear containers, whose lids incorporate a pot enabling completely sealed storage of a wet ingredient such as a dressing. The consumer simply removes this pot from the lid by pressing it out and then adds however much of the liquid ingredient he or she wants to the product that is in the cup. In other words, it’s simply a case of ‘press and dress’!

The lunch! exhibition takes place at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, on 20 and 21 September. Tri-Star will be exhibiting on stand 101, where it will also be highlighting its award-winning Artisan range of packaging for ‘rustic’ sandwiches the hand-made, square-cut style of sandwich that is currently all the rage in delis up and down the country. Tri-Star’s ground-breaking Artisan sandwich packs are superb quality, look great and offer outstanding levels of user-friendliness, making them the perfect partner for premium rustic sandwiches wherever they are sold.

Also on the stand will be TriStar’s award-winning Deli Pot Topper, which is designed so that the pot can be filled with the main ingredient, while the lid or topper is filled with a further ingredient to be added when the customer is ready to eat the product. There are hundreds of possible recipe combinations for the Deli Pot Topper, including shaker salads, strawberries and cream, yoghurt and granola, and fruit and nuts. The topper itself is manufactured so that it can fit neatly on to five different sizes of pot in the Deli Pot Topper range, from 230ml to 470ml, enabling complete flexibility and portion control.

Kevin added: “These incredible innovations are just a taster of the superb range of fantastic products we’ll be displaying at this year’s lunch! show. All visitors to the exhibition will receive a very warm welcome on our stand and, of course, the chance to see, feel and play with a whole host of great packaging concepts that could transform any food-to-go operation.”
