Ready meals also 'case-ready'

Another kind of “case-ready” meat is now appearing in the Stop & Shop Supermarkets of New England. Home-style meals—rotisserie chicken, meatloaf, turkey, ham—from the Boston Market chain of fast-food restaurants are on display near the deli in the Stop & Shop stores. The meatloaf shown here has a net weight of 19 oz—“plenty for 2,” says the package—and sells for $6.99.Boston Market, headquartered in Golden, CO, isn’t saying much about machines or materials used put the meals into the stores. But the photo shown here makes it look like a barrier tray and barrier lidding material are the primary packaging components. A clear plastic lid snaps over the lidstock, and a paperboard sleeve holds everything together while carrying graphics and product information.
