(St. Louis, MO) May 17, 2010 The IoPP (Institute of Packaging Professionals) presented the Ameristar Award to Anchor Packaging in recognition of, commitment to, and support of, excellence in overall package design and functionality.

The Crisp Food Container uses an exclusive, patent-pending, convection cross-flowTM ventilation design to relieve moisture and condensation, while ensuring that fried foods remain crispy. Independent, side-by-side tests at several leading retailers demonstrated that the Crisp Food Container allowed the food product to retain more of its internal temperature than other available packaging, thus assisting in meeting local health department regulations.
The Crisp Food Container is made of re-usable polypropylene, and consists of a black base and clear lid, formed as a single hinged container.
