Hot N Handy®
The Pouch That Transformed America’s Deli Business
Robbie’s flagship Hot N Handy® Pouch has been an instant recipe for success for supermarkets, convenience stores, processors, foodservice and more.
Designed in response to the growing rotisserie chicken market, the Hot N Handy® Pouch allows retailers to replace conventional deli packaging such as rigid roaster domes, boxes, barns and tubs. Leak-resistant and microwaveable, this American-made product with its built-in handle and re-sealable zipper gives shoppers the security and convenience they demand.
An award-winning packaging solution
Soon after its introduction to the market, Good Housekeeping magazine recognized Robbie’s Hot N Handy® Pouch with a “Good Buy” award—naming it an innovative solution that saves consumers time, money and aggravation. This was the first of many
awards Hot N Handy® has been honored to win.
Most recently, the Hot N Handy® Bio-Pouch received the
2009 Gold Award in Environmental and Sustainable Achievement from the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA). The award recognizes the Bio-Pouch as the best sustainable solution for fresh-prepared sandwiches in the market.
The FPA presented the Hot N Handy® Bio-Pouch with a second
2009 Gold Award in Packaging Excellence.
Continuously redesigned and re-engineered to be more efficient, more
sustainable and more attractive to consumers and grocers/processors alike, the Hot N Handy® Pouch is an excellent example of Robbie’s passion for transforming plastic packaging.
Beyond the bird
Robbie quickly expanded the Hot N Handy® concept to include pouches in a variety of sizes for both hot and cold deli foods such as fried chicken, slabs of ribs, chicken nuggets and tenders, popcorn chicken, sub sandwiches, turkey products, tamales, ham whole or sliced, prepacked lunch kits and many other items.
