OCG Show Daily 9 Sunday, June 10, 2018 Fresh n' Sealed Tamper-Evident Line Launches Square Packages Lacerta is excited to introduce new square packages to the Fresh n' Sealed tamper-evident family of containers. Lacerta's new upscale square bowls offer a contemporary look that gives your food stand-out shelf appeal. The new contain- ers range in size from 8 to 48 ounces. All with modern style, the packages are the perfect ways to show off your food in three different footprints: 4.5 inches, 6 inches and 7.5 inches, for any applica- tion. The containers were designed with sleek lines for salads, pre-packaged meals, on-the-go foods and more. The smallest 4.5-inch squares are available in 8, 12, and 16 ounces, ideal for grab and go. The 6-inch are perfect for salads and premade meals with 24-, 32- and 36-ounce options. The largest footprint, 7.5-inch square is also avail- able in 24, 32 and 48 ounces. Both the 6- inch and 7.5-inch also offer a variety of film-sealable inserts for all the salad or snack toppings one could ever want. Having film-sealable inserts extends shelf life and offers a lot of options for assembling. With these containers, inventory management is simplified; there is no need for shrink bands, film, inventorying matching lids and other complexities. With Fresh n' Sealed, you get both security and peace of mind, along with a great way to differentiate your product from the competition. The packages are designed so that once closed, they pro- vide security, leak resist- ance and freshness. To open the package, a tear strip must be removed to gain access to the newly exposed tabs before the lid can be removed. The design makes it simple for consumers to see if the pack- age has been tampered with. All the con- tainers are 100 percent recyclable, have flawless clarity and are easy to use. The containers are stackable and maximize the shelf merchandising in supermarkets and convenience stores to best benefit your product. About Lacerta Group, Inc.

New Menu Concepts Combine Authenticity with Excitement If there's one thing today's consumers love, it is experimenting with flavors in new and unexpected ways. It's all about taking comfort foods out of their comfort zone with fun and unique creative ideas presented in surprising combinations. Traditional Italian meats from Fontanini are a great base for creating new menu concepts. One of Fontanini's tradi- tional ideas is Nonna's Sunday Gravy. Taste its tomato sauce flavored with a combination of Fontanini pot roast, Italian sausage and meatballs. One taste will bring you back to the time-honored ritual of enjoying a great meal at Nonna's house. This quick and easy recipe will smell and taste like it's been simmering all day! One of Fontanini's most popular clas- sics is its signature Chicago Combo Sandwich, made with Fontanini Italian Sausage Links, Sliced Italian Beef and hot giardiniera on a fresh roll. Try a new version of this traditional classic with sliced Italian sausage, Italian beef and roasted peppers. You can't forget about one of the great American standards: pizza. Today's pizza offerings range from classic cheese and sausage thin crusts to out-of-the-box pizza pies and flatbreads made with an assortment of toppings and crusts. Fontanini, a supplier to some of the coun- try's most famous pizzerias and fine Italian restaurants around the country, provides high quality pizza toppings like beef, pork and chicken, as well as ingre- dients that appeal to today's choosy, often-adventurous patrons.
