Nona Lim Chicken Pho Noodle Bowl

Manufacturer: Emerald Packaging, Inc., empack.com

Description: Nona Lim’s objective was to create a single serve, multi-compartment solution to house dry noodles, as well as broth, in a ready-to-eat hybrid package. It is a noodle bowl coupling a compostable rigid container with a flexible lid film to package both the noodles and broth, which can be mixed together and heated. The product can be eaten directly out of the packaging, and the packaging functions to display, transport, and protect the final product. The bowl housing the flexible lid stock is double stacked inside the compostable bowl, thus reducing the product’s carbon footprint by being able to ship more packages per box, which decreases the use of diesel per package to ship.
