Sabert to Showcase Multi-Substrate Sustainable Food Packaging Portfolio at IDDBA 2026

Booth 2000 will feature new product launches, award-winning molded fiber pulp solutions, and post-consumer recycled (PCR) content options for catering, grab n' go, bakery, deli, supermarket, and processor operators

SAYREVILLE, N.J., May 19, 2026 — Sabert Corporation, a global leader in innovative and sustainable food packaging solutions, will exhibit at IDDBA 2026 from June 7 to 9, 2026, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. At Booth 2000, the Sabert team will show food packaging solutions across plastic, molded fiber, and paper, with options spanning PCR content, compostability, regulatory-compliant materials, and high-performance formats.

"What we hear from operators is that they're running mixed-substrate programs now. PCR plastic for one SKU, paper for another, molded fiber pulp where compostability is prioritized," shared Alexus Medina, Senior Director, Product Management at Sabert Corporation. "They need packaging that performs, that meets growing regulatory and customer expectations, and that helps them serve food the way today's consumers want it. Our portfolio is designed to address all of these needs from one supplier, with performance and regulatory compliance built into every option.”

Sustainability and Innovation on Display

Sabert will give operators a hands-on look at how recycled content from post-consumer waste is used to make food-grade resin through Nuvida, Sabert’s recycling operation and one of the world's largest processors and suppliers of food-grade recycled plastic resin. This vertical integration provides traceable supply for recycled-content claims, a growing requirement as operators face increased scrutiny on sustainability marketing.

Sabert will also highlight its comprehensive product development process from concept to commercial launch, including concept drawings and 3D-printed prototypes, and will also provide an overview of the company’s Centers for Innovation and Advanced Technology Center. 

A Full Catering Program from One Supplier

Workplace catering, shared meals, and grazing-style menus continue to drive demand in the catering category. Operators are looking for packaging that travels well, is visually appealing, and accommodates a wider range of meal formats.

Sabert will display its complete catering portfolio across substrates, including:

  • Popular line of UltraStack® and Mozaïk® platters
  • Catering Pop-Top Bowls with a stackable design
  • Kraft Pop-Up Catering Trays and paperboard inserts
  • Molded fiber pulp catering bowls and platters
  • Utensils and bakery solutions

Grab n’ Go for the Fresh-Prepared Boom

Fresh-prepared retail and deli foodservice continue to grow as shoppers look for premium, restaurant-quality options closer to home. Smaller portions, protein-forward menus, and gut-health-driven items are influencing what goes into the grab n’ go case.

Sabert's expanded grab n’ go portfolio at IDDBA 2026 includes:

  • New Hinged PET bowls and tubs
  • Snack boxes, sandwich containers, and sub containers
  • Bowls across substrates, including PET, paper, and molded fiber pulp
  • PET utility containers
  • r-PRO™ post-consumer recycled (PCR) content options

Processor Solutions Built for Performance

Food processors face a dual challenge: meeting sustainability goals while keeping production lines and operations running at speed. Film sealable solutions, PCR materials, and dual-use packaging are answering both.

Sabert’s processor portfolio at IDDBA 2026 includes:

  • White CPET trays
  • Molded Fiber Pulp Processor Trays
  • r-PRO™ bowls
  • Filmed sealable solutions in PP, r-PRO™, and molded fiber pulp
  • Award-winning, Twist and Crispy®, designed for dual use

“Processors are growing fast, and they need a packaging partner that can grow with them,” commented Alexus Medina. “We have invested significantly in our processor channel capabilities, bringing technical support directly to our customers’ facilities and tailoring our portfolio to fit their specific needs.”

Paper Packaging with Custom Print Capabilities 

Paper-based packaging continues to gain share across foodservice as operators respond to plastic-reduction goals, consumer preferences, and the natural look it brings to fresh-prepared presentation. 

Sabert's paper portfolio at IDDBA 2026 spans the full meal occasion, including:

  • Beverage on the Move®, the Paperboard Coffee Clutch®, and drink carriers for beverage applications
  • Lunch boxes
  • Bowls in round, square, and rectangle formats, with lined options for varied performance needs
  • Soup cups
  • EcoSnap™

Sabert will also show how a functional package becomes a branded touchpoint, whether for a seasonal LTO or a fresh-prepared signature line. Sabert supports both short and long print runs across the paper portfolio, giving operators flexibility to scale customization to the occasion.
