SHELTON, CT – November 5, 2024 – Inline Plastics is excited to announce that their Safe-T-Chef® flat lid options have received the 2024 Convenience Store News Best New Product Award in the Foodservice: Packaging category. This prestigious honor highlights Inline Plastics’ dedication to delivering cutting-edge innovation, exceptional value, and designs tailored to consumer needs.

The new flat lid offering enhances the versatility of the Safe-T-Chef® line, furthering the patented tamper-protection technology with the added benefit of anti-fog functionality. This new feature helps prevent moisture buildup on the inside of packaging, allowing consumers to easily check the freshness of food, which supports better merchandising and helps reduce waste.

“Packaging is more than just a functional necessity—it plays a crucial role in the overall food experience,” said Marlene Bautista, Product Portfolio Manager at Inline Plastics. “By introducing this sleek flat lid option, we are providing our customers with unprecedented flexibility. Retailers can now tailor their packaging solutions while transforming their spaces into efficient, visually appealing displays. This award from Convenience Store News reinforces our commitment to delivering superior packaging solutions.”

Safe-T-Chef® continues to be the packaging of choice for convenience stores, foodservice providers, and food processors. The award was granted following a thorough evaluation by Past Times Marketing, a leading consumer research and product testing firm based in New York. Safe-T-Chef® was selected for its significant impact and innovative approach in the convenience store industry.
