LAS VEGAS, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As convenience retailers continue investing in foodservice as a key driver of growth and profitability, Georgia-Pacific Foodservice Solutions will showcase products from its Anchor Packaging brand that help operators protect food quality, improve operational efficiency and create meal experiences that drive repeat purchases. The company will exhibit at the 2026 NACS Show, October 7-9 in Las Vegas, at Booth C55059 in the Central Hall.

Foodservice has become one of the most important growth opportunities in convenience retailing. Today, foodservice is offered in more than 90% of U.S. convenience stores, and operators increasingly view fresh food programs as critical to overall store success. At the same time, consumers are raising their expectations and increasingly choosing convenience stores for fresh, high-quality meal solutions.

Anchor Packaging, one of Georgia-Pacific Foodservice Solutions’ leading brands, believes the path to winning more meals starts with a different view of packaging.

“Packaging is far more than a container,” said Ryan Elwart, senior vice president – Sales and Innovation, Georgia-Pacific Foodservice Solutions. “The right packaging protects food quality, supports store operations and helps create an experience that brings customers back again and again. As convenience retailers expand their foodservice offerings, they need partners with deep foodservice expertise, and that’s where Anchor delivers for them.”

For nearly 65 years, Anchor Packaging has partnered with restaurant and grocery foodservice operators, helping them address challenges related to food quality, hold times, labor efficiency and profitability. Today, Georgia-Pacific’s Foodservice Solutions team is bringing that foodservice expertise to convenience retailers looking to grow and differentiate their prepared food offerings.

Experience Crisp Food Technology Firsthand

At the NACS Show, attendees can experience live food demonstrations featuring Anchor’s award-winning Crisp Food Technologies® containers.

Designed to preserve the texture and taste of hot, fried foods, Crisp Food Technology helps keep foods hot and crispy in a hot case and on the go. Visitors to the booth are invited to taste the difference firsthand and see how improved packaging performance can help operators deliver a better meal experience.

“Higher perceived quality drives repeat purchases,” said Kurt Richars, director – Marketing, Anchor Packaging. “When operators deliver on consumers’ expectations, they build a reputation that brings them back for more.”

Simplifying Operations with Invertibles™

Anchor will also feature Invertibles™, an innovative single-piece container solution engineered to simplify operations and maximize efficiency and was recently recognized as Best New Product for Foodservice Packaging for 2026 by Convenience Store News.

Invertibles’ unique design uses one component as both the base and lid, helping operators reduce storage requirements by up to 50% while eliminating base-and-lid mismatches. The clear, recycle-ready polypropylene container is microwave safe and suitable for both hot and cold grab-and-go applications, providing versatility for a variety of menu offerings.

Attendees can see Invertibles in the booth and find it featured in the Cool New Products Expo at this year’s NACS Show.
