Placon Wins Again! 

We’re thrilled to announce that our custom sandwich and wrap containers, designed for Farmer’s Fridge, have been honored with a WorldStar 2025 Award!  This is the second major accolade for this innovative packaging, which also earned a 2024 AmeriStar Award for Design Excellence.

Designed with 100% post-consumer recycled PET, these containers aren’t just sustainable—they’re a game-changer for vending. By reducing machine jams by over 50%, they’ve helped Farmer’s Fridge enhance customer satisfaction, reduce maintenance disruptions, and prevent revenue loss at the company’s more than 1,200 state-of-the-art vending machines.

This WorldStar Award recognition underscores our commitment to innovation and sustainability, and we couldn’t be prouder of this collaboration with Farmer’s Fridge!
