LAKE FOREST, IL — Solo announced today that it has expanded its unique OctaView® line of one-piece, octagon-shaped microwaveable containers to include its enhanced OctaView® Select brand. OctaView® Select polypropylene containers offer the same features distinct to the OctaView® line and provide additional solutions to foodservice applications.
OctaView® containers feature black bases and clear lids to deliver operational ease, help increase impulse sales with improved food presentation, and enhance takeout packaging with table-ready convenience. As part of Solo’s Creative Carryouts® brand, OctaView® containers are designed to help maximize efficiencies, reduce operator costs and drive sales for ‘to go’ offerings.
Larinda Becker, Vice President of Marketing for Solo Foodservice, said the expanded OctaView® line is suited to many hot and cold food applications, and allows for microwave re-heating of prepared or takeout foods. A clear, anti-fog lid helps increase impulse sales of hot foods, and a leak-resistant closure design continues to vent steam even when securely stacked on display or in transit. Its tear-away lid makes it table-ready in seconds.
“Our unique OctaView® shape turns visual attraction into customer satisfaction,” Becker said. “Most consumers today believe quality, disposable packaging is important to the image of the restaurant, and OctaView® packages deliver unique presentations that can help increase takeout and grab-and-go sales along with operational efficiencies and security during handling and transport.”
The one-piece, octagon design is engineered to increase efficiency and reduce the labor involved in the packing process, and the single SKU makes ordering easy. OctaView® one-piece packages are suitable for foods from the refrigerator up to 250°.
Operators can try the latest additions of OctaView® Select– in popular sizes of 6” deep and 6”, 7.5” and 9” medium — by contacting their Solo representative.
