Made from recyclable PET, the company has launched a new trio of Flat Topped Baguette Boxes (7, 9 and 12 inch) to add to its existing curved topped range. It is part of the newly extended rolls, baguettes and bagels range.

The flat designed, re-closable lid with its clean square lines offers a number of distinctive benefits to the food sector. It means that, if desired, packs can be stacked to minimise on-shelf space, provide high visibility of product and a clear surface for labelling.

Steve Campbell, Anson's Business Manager, Standards, explains: “Anson is moving towards a universal pack look within the various ranges we offer based on cleaner and more simple lines. However, we are keeping faithful to the top selling lines that our clients know and love including our curved topped baguette range.”

“The new flat topped boxes have been designed as a result of the many customer calls for products that stack neatly. Baguettes are bulky by nature and need proper protection hich these boxes provide. The added bonus is they can now be displayed optimally at the point of sale where space is always a premium.”

“It really is a case of us continuing to think outside of the box - our customers demand the very best and we are only too happy to deliver these clearly inspired ideas.”

The radical change in lifestyle eating is continuing in the UK. Snacks and light salads have replaced hot lunches - and sandwiches, baguettes, bagels and filled rolls are now the nation's favourite lunchtime food.

Anson's newly emerging and fast-selling snack product selection now includes sandwich wedges; rolls, baguettes and bagel packs; salad packs; and a Tortilla and Bakery range.
