You know what it costs to feed your students. Do you know what it costs when packaging fails?

Seal failures. Spoiled trays. Staff pulled off the line to repackage meals that should have gone out the door the first time. For most school nutrition programs, these costs happen every single day — and they never show up as a line item in the budget.

Until now.

The AmeriPak School Nutrition Cost Calculator gives you a clear, honest look at what poor packaging is actually costing your program — in food waste, in rework labor, in meals that don’t make it to the kids who need them. Enter your numbers. See your reality. Then see what’s possible.
It takes less than two minutes. The results might surprise you.
