From Counter to Curbside: ProAmpac’s Food-to-Go Innovations Take Center Stage at NACS 2025

CINCINNATI (OCT.14, 2025)—ProAmpac, a global leader in flexible packaging and material science, is proud to announce its participation at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) Show 2025, taking place October 14–17, 2025, at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. Visit booth S-6796 to explore ProAmpac’s latest advancements in fiber-based, high-performance packaging designed for today’s grab-and-go, delivery, and foodservice markets.

Introducing the Latest HandRAP Innovation

Fast to fill, easy to close, and built for freshness—the new HandRAP Locking Tab is engineered for efficiency and product appeal. Its fog-resistant, vented design keeps sandwiches looking great and tasting fresh for up to four hours, while the easy fill, fold, and tab-lock format reduces labor and simplifies assembly. The clear viewing window enhances product visibility, which has been proven to boost sales compared to traditional carton boxes, and the removable board allows for easy recycling.

Dual Ovenable RAPTrays

Durable, heat-ready, and fiber-based RAPTrays replace rigid plastic without sacrificing performance. Safe for both oven and microwave use, RAPTrays deliver convenience for hot or cold meals while potentially reducing plastic packaging by more than 90% compared to rigid plastic alternatives. The trays are also air fryer-friendly, providing a no-clean solution to air-fried meals and sides.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) Solutions

Extend freshness and reduce food waste with ProAmpac’s award-winning, fiber-based MAP solutions for sandwiches, sides, and meals. Designed to keep food fresh for up to 30 days, these packages minimize plastic use and support longer, more efficient distribution—offering a lighter packaging material footprint and stronger shelf appeal when compared to rigid containers.

Recyclable Delivery Bags

Strong, secure, and reliable, these curbside-recyclable paper bags feature handles and tamper-evident seals to ensure orders arrive safely and responsibly.

A Complete Suite of Food-to-Go Packaging Solutions

From in-store hand-packed options to fully automated machine-packed systems, ProAmpac offers an integrated suite of packaging solutions that focus on:

• Reducing the use of virgin plastic
• Enhancing product visibility
• Preserving freshness
• Improving operational efficiency

Visit ProAmpac at booth S-6796 to experience how innovative materials, creative design, and automation-ready packaging are shaping the future of convenience and food-to-go.

“When consumers see more product, you sell more product,” said Sal Pellingra, vice president of global package design, applications, and business development at ProAmpac’s Collaboration and Innovation Center (CIC). “HandRAP LT does it all—smaller footprint, faster assembly, fresher presentation, and clear visibility that helps turn browsers into buyers.”
