Sandwich Trends That Are Changing the Game—And Why Packaging Matters

Sandwiches are always in style, but right now, they’re getting more creative, and so is the packaging they need. Technomic’s latest report shows what’s hot, what’s not, and how food packaging makes all the difference.

Sliders are everywhere. People want smaller portions and more variety, so sliders are showing up at every meal. They’re perfect for grab-and-go, so make sure you’ve got packaging that keeps them fresh and easy to eat.

Regional mashups are big. Chefs are getting bold: think po’boys with Philly cheesesteak flavors or Vietnamese rolls with pulled pork. These combos need packaging that holds up to saucy fillings and delivers them looking good.

Chicken sandwiches still rule. New sauces (hot honey is huge), wild toppings, and fun buns are everywhere. The challenge? Packaging that handles juicy, crispy, messy sandwiches without turning them soggy.

Bread is getting interesting. Brioche, croissants, spinach wraps; it’s on the menu. Each one needs packaging that keeps things just right, from crisp to soft.

Sauces are getting bolder. Spicy mayo, bacon jam, and more are taking over. Secure lids and leak-proof containers are a must.

At Sabert, we keep up with these trends, so our packaging keeps your sandwiches tasting and looking their best.
