FlexRoller is a gravity-feed roller system designed to front any packaging type in a multitude of environments. The system provides value-added benefits by helping retailers achieve their goals of increasing sales and reducing labor costs. Today, FlexRoller is installed in more than 75,000 stores worldwide and has proven itself to be the superior alternative to traditional spring-loaded pushers and plastic glide mats.

In-store presentation is crucial in order to appeal to today’s sophisticated consumer. The expectations are high for companies to deliver appealing environments that are clean and organized. In the cold-vault, an organized and fronted product display is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Automatic fronting from FlexRoller contributes to an organized store front by ensuring that products are consistently on the shelf’s edge.

The concept is simple, a consistently fronted shelf contributes to an increase in sales. Third party studies have proven that FlexRoller creates a validated sales increase in upwards of 8% compared to standard glides. When shoppers can find their desired product quickly and easily, they have a more positive shopping experience which results in an increased purchasing basket.

In addition, manually fronting product throughout the day is a tedious task. It is costly from a labor perspective, and almost impossible for a store associate to keep up with in the fast-paced retail environment. The result is unorganized product displays, which require more time to organize, reset, and restock.

Lastly, FlexRoller has the versatility to accommodate all packaging designs through its adjustable dividers. This allows retailers to stay ahead of the beverage innovation curve in an industry that is constantly churning out new products and packaging designs. With fixed lanes, standard glides limit planogram flexibility by restricting the number of lanes in a given door. Retailers with FlexRoller can utilize every inch of their planograms by setting the dividers for the exact planogram. Our studies have shown that in a standard 10-door cold-vault set up, up to 20 facings can be gained!

With a 5-year warranty, FlexRoller is a fronting solution that will produce results for years. Just ask one of our customers from a Top-10 North American C-Store Chain: “I love FlexRoller! My facility associates love it. Actually, anyone who stock the cold boxes loves it. Since its install, our sales have gone up, and our presentation is always full and clean”

FlexRoller, along with Bruegmann’s other merchandising solutions, will be on display at booth 3911 for you to try out yourself. To set up an appointment with a Bruegmann Sales Representative, or to get more product info, contact Bruegamnn USA at 888-745-9229 or email info@bruegmann-usa.com

KEEPS FOOD HOT & CRISPY!
CRISP FOOD TECHNOLOGIES CONTAINERS

*The home delivery trend continues to grow while operators look for solutions to drive more grab & go foodservice takeout. One major issue impacts food quality on one of the most popular takeout items. French fries can arrive cold or soggy, or both. 

*The Crisp Food Technologies® Containers use an exclusive, convection cross-flow design to relieve moisture and condensation while maintaining food temperature. Through-the-closure ventilation, along with raised airflow channels in the base of the container, combined with venting in the anti-fog lid, ensure that fried foods remain hot and crispy even when packages are stacked. The unique design of this packaging system retains internal temperatures and food texture for fried foods up to 30 minutes in transit. Each hinged or separate base and lid will withstand temperatures to 230°F under heat lamps, in warming units, and the microwave.

*Originally developed to keep fried chicken crisp up to three hours in a hot display case for grab and go in the supermarket deli, the technology has been adapted for c-store foodservice and restaurant takeout and delivery.  Independent, side-by-side tests at leading retailers and restaurant chains identified that Crisp Food Technologies® Containers preserved temperature and texture of fried foods longer than other plastic and alternative materials during 30-minute home delivery.  In addition to French fries, operators report hamburger buns, wings, chicken strips, fried chicken, and many more fried foods arrive at their destination still hot and crispy.

*Anti-fog lids provide visibility of the food contents to prevent order error before leaving the store and drive impulse sales on display.  Assorted two-piece and hinged packages in a variety of shapes and sizes are available to allow each operator to choose the right product for their application, expanding to 21 SKUs in 2019.  All packages are dishwasher-safe, consumer reusable, and eligible for recycling curbside.

NO EXTRA STRIPS OR TABS!
SAFE PINCH TAMPER-EVIDENT HINGED CONTAINERS

*Tamper-evident packaging with a simple, intuitive, one-step opening design without extra plastic strips and tabs found in other tamper-evident products.  Consumers overwhelmingly prefer simple, intuitive, one-step opening designs and with the aging population, large easy-grip tabs are deemed essential. These two design elements are at the heart of the Safe Pinch® container line. 

*The intuitive, “PINCH” feature, boldly embossed on the hinge of the container, sends a clear message on how to open the package.  The arrows on the rim pointing to the “PINCH” are signals to facilitate easy opening.  The audible sound and feel of the breaking hinge as pinched, let the consumer know it’s working. Visible, wide separation of opened hinges make it easy for store personnel or consumers, to identify a tampered product. The easy to open and reclose features are just a few of the many characteristics that consumers cited as what they preferred, in the design, versus other containers.

 
*Crystal-clear hinged packages are perfect for ambient-temperature displays of assorted dry foods like nuts, snack mixes, candy, baked goods, and dried fruit in supermarkets, convenience stores, and anywhere grab and go food is offered. These packages also work well for refrigerated fresh food applications, such as salads, cut fruit, and sandwiches. Large, clear windows with minimal ribbing offer maximum food visibility, and the secure stackable design creates an eye-catching display. The leak-resistant design is easy to close in both manual and automated applications, making this product line ideal for local commissaries and food processors.  Assorted shapes in sizes from 6 to 32 ounces and a sandwich wedge.  All are FDA approved post-consumer recycled PETE and recyclable curbside.
