Sabert’s Twist & Crispy® Snags First Place at the 2025 QSR/FPI Packaging Awards for Innovative Foodservice Packaging
Winning Solution Serves Up Smart Design and Real Results for Takeout and Delivery Applications
SAYREVILLE, NJ, November 6, 2025 - Sabert Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of innovative and sustainable food packaging solutions, has been awarded the 2025 QSR/FPI Packaging Awards for its revolutionary Twist & Crispy® containers in the “Innovation in Manufacturing” category. This marks another major accolade for Twist & Crispy®, which recently earned the prestigious AmeriStar Award for "Packaging that Saves Food."
The QSR/FPI Foodservice Packaging Awards, presented by QSR magazine and the Foodservice Packaging Institute (FPI), celebrate the industry’s best in foodservice packaging innovation. The awards honor companies whose packaging designs push boundaries of performance and innovation in today’s dynamic foodservice landscape.
Twist & Crispy® is a game-changing takeout container that solves the problem of serving both crispy and saucy foods. In the past, operators had to pick between ventilated containers for crispy items or sealed ones for saucy foods. Now Twist & Crispy® offers both in one solution, enhancing food quality, optimizing back-of-house operations, and reducing SKU complexity.
“When we set out to design and develop Twist & Crispy®, we wanted to address our customers' unmet needs with a forward-thinking solution to one of their toughest packaging challenges,” said Alexus Medina, Director, Product Management at Sabert Corporation. “These awards underscore our achievement in doing just that – helping foodservice operators deliver a better consumer dining experience without compromising freshness, quality, or operational efficiency."
Sabert’s Twist & Crispy® features a patented 360-degree dual locking lid that can twist to vent or seal, depending on the dish. Lining up the “crispy” engravings on the lid and base activates the vent mode, keeping food hot and maintaining crisp quality for up to 40 minutes, which surpasses typical delivery windows. Twist the lid 90 degrees and press, and it becomes leak-resistant for saucy foods. A textured base also helps prevent sogginess by pulling moisture away.
Twist & Crispy® containers are made in the USA and are available in multiple sizes to accommodate a wide range of menu applications.
