listen and respond, and in the past few months, we've become more like
consultants than simply product salespeople - we need to understand
how customers have been affected and propose product solutions they
may not have needed from us before. "
Health and safety have always-and will always-be the first
consideration for Novolex when it comes to food packaging, regardless
of current trends, Frantz said. COVID has simply made Novolex's
top concern one that is now shared by both its customers and their
consumers.
Novolex's Cutlease was originally designed as a single piece cutlery
utensil dispensing system to help curb waste in cafeteria and dining hall
environments.
But it also serves a dual purpose in cutting down on the number of
hands that might touch a fork or knife before the consumer withdraws it
from the dispenser.
Frantz said Novolex has also seen increased demand for grab-and-go
packaging with its Atrium line of packaging in schools to ensure safety
in dining halls and cafeterias.
Novolex expects that the demand for tamper-proof packaging will
continue well beyond the pandemic.
" With grocery stores and food service establishments, there has
been greater emphasis placed on tamper-evident packaging that is still
convenient and effective for take-out, " Frantz said. " Such packaging
also builds confidence in food safety and hygiene for consumers who

use local food delivery services. " Also expect food delivery to be a
mainstay, he added. We've all relied on and grown accustomed to this
convenience and safe dining option.
Novolex's Blaze line of hot and cold food containers allow retailers to
transport their food in safe and sanitary packaging.
" When customers take a bite of their food, it will taste just like it does
when they are sitting in the dining room of their favorite restaurant, "
he said.
Another trend sure to continue post-COVID is demand for prepackaged and individually packaged foods in grocery stores among
consumers who have reported feeling safer eating grab-and-go meals
with each item individually packaged, Frantz said.
" We've seen a fall in 'fill in/build your own' meals and a rise in
consumer in grab-and-go meals, " he said. " Our to-go bags allow
foodservice providers to package both hot and cold food in sealed
containers. Consumers will then be able to see their food before
purchasing it with our Dubl View Deli Bags and Insulated Deli Bags as
they did pre-COVID, while still being confident their food is sanitary. "
One challenge Novolex and other packaging suppliers face is helping
to ensure its customers are still able to reach their sustainability goals
while prioritizing food safety.
" Many of our products are recyclable, and we encourage customers
to utilize the How2Recycle label when appropriate, " Frantz said.
" This standardized labeling system clearly communicates recycling
