CONVENIENCE. MADE EASY.
Why Easypak Is the Freshest, Smartest, and Most Reliable Packaging Solution for Today’s C-Store Retailers.
Convenience retailers face intensifying pressure to grow fresh food sales while reducing shrink, protecting margins, and offering customers consistent, high-quality experience. Whether it is sandwiches, wraps, salads, burritos, pizza slices, entrées, snacks, or fresh-cut fruit, the challenge remains the same:
keep food fresher longer, look great on-shelf, travel well, and stay profitable.
keep food fresher longer, look great on-shelf, travel well, and stay profitable.

- Made-in-the-USA manufacturing across multiple strategic locations

With decades of thermoforming expertise and a nationwide footprint, Easypak offers the reliability, quality, and speed today’s convenience retailers require to stay competitive.
C-stores now compete directly with QSRs, Restaurants, grocery, and meal-prep programs. This shift has created new operational hurdles:
- Freshness expectations are higher than ever
- Shrink from purge, leaks, fogging, and crushed packaging is costly
- Labor shortages make prep and merchandising efficiency essential
- Import-related delays and freight costs hurt consistency and margins
- Consumers demand grab-and-go food that looks appetizing and travels well
Retailers need packaging that performs flawlessly across all dayparts—breakfast to late-night.
Easypak delivers packaging that helps retailers simplify operations, improve product presentation, and reduce product loss.

- Regional flexibility and faster replenishment
- Less risk from import delays or global instability
Retailers report more predictable inventory planning, higher on-shelf availability, and reduced emergency shipping events.

MSU research validation confirms improved purge control and extended visual appeal, helping retailers reduce shrink and maximize sell-through in produce-driven grab-and-go sets. Helps to extend product freshness and even can increase product shelf life.
When a major regional convenience chain sought to overhaul its grab-and-go program, they evaluated multiple manufacturers across several categories.
They chose Easypak for three reasons:
- Superior freshness and presentation
- Domestic supply chain reliability
- Broad portfolio enabling a one-vendor consolidation strategy
Once adopted, results followed quickly.
