ATLANTA, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Anchor Packaging, a Georgia-Pacific company and leading manufacturer of foodservice packaging solutions, has received a Convenience Store News Best New Product Award for Foodservice Packaging for its groundbreaking Invertibles™ Single-Piece Containers, an inventive and innovative new packaging solution that simplifies handling and reduces required inventory to deliver savings for foodservice businesses.

The award recognizes products that bring meaningful innovation to the convenience retail industry. Invertibles™ earned recognition for challenging the conventional design of foodservice packaging with a versatile single piece that serves as both the base and the lid, helping operators streamline operations while reducing complexity and cost.

“Innovation starts with understanding our customers’ biggest challenges and finding simpler, smarter ways to solve them,” said Pranay Harsh, vice president and general manager – Anchor Packaging. ” Invertibles™ represents a completely new approach to foodservice packaging. By transforming two components into one versatile solution, we’re helping operators simplify inventory management, reduce waste, improve efficiency and better serve their customers. We’re honored that Convenience Store News recognized the innovation behind this product.”

Unlike traditional two-piece packaging systems, Invertibles™ enables operators to use one piece as a dine-in serving tray or combine two pieces to create a secure food-to-go container. This innovative approach helps customers reduce SKU counts, eliminate waste caused by mismatched base and lid inventories, reduces required storage space, and increase packaging flexibility across dine-in and grab-and-go applications.

Additional benefits of Invertibles™ include:

• Simplified operations through a single-piece design
• Reduced waste caused by base and lid inventory mismatches
• Lower inventory complexity through fewer SKUs
• Reduced storage space requirements
• Secure stacking with integrated stacking rails
• Greater packaging flexibility for both dine-in and carryout applications

Rather than simply improving an existing package, Invertibles™ rethinks the packaging system itself, creating a new category of single-piece foodservice containers that delivers both operational and economic benefits.

“As operators continue to look for ways to improve efficiency and profitability, we believe innovation matters most when it solves real-world challenges,” said Brook Brown, vice president – Innovation, Anchor Packaging. ” Invertibles™ demonstrates how higher-performing packaging can unlock meaningful value across the entire operation.”

Georgia-Pacific Foodservice Solutions will showcase products from its Anchor Packaging brand, including Invertibles™, that help operators protect food quality, improve operational efficiency and create meal experiences that drive repeat purchases at the 2026 NACS Show, October 7-9 in Las Vegas, at Booth C55059 in the Central Hall.
