MADISON, WI (October 5, 2009) Placon Corporation of Madison, WI has introduced several new bowl sizes and lid options in its Fresh ‘n Clear™ line of products for the foodservice market.

For attractive and stackable displays of deli foods, salads, fruits and similar items, the company has designed a new 32-ounce shallow bowl. With a large top surface area, the new design highlights its contents in an attractive way as it focuses on horizontal (rather than vertical) storage. Available in clear or black, Fresh’n Clear™ bowls now come in eight sizes ranging from eight to 64 ounces.

Two new lid styles are also being unveiled. The first style is a simple unadorned flat lid, designed for easy accommodation of self-adhesive labels. The second new lid has been designed in a dome style, effectively adding more available storage space to the bowl below.

Previously, the company offered just one lid style, a flat lid with an embossed design. This lid is still available, so the Fresh ‘n Clear™ line now features a total of three different lid styles. All are tight-fitting and leak-resistant, and can be embossed to provide name or brand recognition.

All Fresh ‘n Clear™ Scround bowls and lids come in three sizes-small, medium, and large-and work interchangeably with their same-size counterparts. When packed and closed, the products offer the convenience of nestable stacking while creating attractive and secure displays.

Built with Placon’s EcoStar™ material, the entire Fresh ‘n Clear™ line is constructed of EcoStar™ food-grade recycled PET containing a minimum of 35% recycled content.
