Packaging Design Wrap-Up: Cadbury’s twist-to-seal packaging helps with portion control; vodka’s packaging design uses reverse psychology by highlighting dangers of alcohol use; detachable egg packaging saves room in refrigerators

Cadbury twist-to-seal packaging helps with portion control

Thanks to a new Twist Wrap packaging solution for Cadbury Duo bars, chocolate lovers can easily save half their treat for later. Created with the intention to encourage reduced portions and more mindful snacking, the packaging uses a memory technology to ensure that a single twist maintains the flavor, texture and shape of the remaining half of the chocolate bar. The innovation comes “following good results during concept testing,” according to Kelly Lawrence, brand manager for Cadbury at Mondelez International in an interview with Packaging Europe. “We’ve put a lot of time and investment into portionable packaging as a way of empowering consumers to snack in a more mindful way, and we are excited to see what shoppers think,” she adds. The Twist Wrap packaging will begin rolling out at the end of January for Wispa, Wispa Gold, Boost, Double Decker and Dairy Milk.

Vodka’s packaging design uses reverse psychology by highlighting dangers of alcohol use

A new Swedish vodka brand called Alcoholic Vodka experiments with full product transparency—highlighting the many negative effects of alcohol use on its packaging—as a way to entice consumers. The bottle features an anatomical illustration of the human body, with red warning triangles all over it that match up to adjoining copy indicating exactly how alcohol can ravage one’s insides. The brand is a project by Swedish creative directors Johan Pihl and Magnus Jakobsson, who explain to Muse by Clio that the design isn’t merely meant to drum up interest by making the product seem dangerous. Rather, it’s an experiment with the recent trend in advertising toward transparency. While most vodka brands spend millions to "hide the truth," this project is about “accepting any outcome in terms of how consumers receive the product.” In terms of consumer demographics, Pihl and Jakobsson admit they have no idea who would be drawn to this product and packaging. "It's part of the reason we made it, not knowing for sure where it fits in or if it fits at all," they say. "If absolutely no one wants this product, it’s fine. At least we gave unfiltered truth a shot in a category where pure honesty is more or less endangered."

Detachable egg packaging saves room in refrigerators

Stamp Egg Packaging is a sustainable, space-saving alternative to traditional egg cartons. Made of PaperFoam, a molded fiber material produced by a Netherlands-based company of the same name, the packaging is inspired by postage stamps. Just like an individual stamp can be removed from a book of stamps and then used, the Stamp Egg Packaging allows for individually wrapped eggs to be separated from the main structure. As a result, refrigerator real estate frees up as more eggs are eaten. Furthermore, the consumer can easily count the remaining number of eggs without opening the package. Less opening and closing of the package means the eggs are less affected by temperature changes, which keeps them fresher for longer. Made of starch, cellulose fibers and water, the biobased packaging can be home-composted or recycled with paper. Additionally, the PaperFoam material requires less water than similar molded pulps, resulting in a weight reduction of 40%. The package features a pleated outer shell to reinforce the material and protect the eggs against stress exerted during transportation and storage. It also includes a hinge that holds the units together and makes the cups easy to separate into single independent boxes.

At CLFP Food Processing Expo, Feb. 15-16, Scholle IPN to showcase its DuraTech films for frozen products, DuraTuff co-extruded film for processed foods, EnduraShield multilayer barrier film for VFFS, ClearShield PET/EVOH laminate for pouches, more

Published: January 21, 2022 by Scholle IPN Corp.

The California League of Food Producers (CLFP) will hold its annual Food Processing Expo in Sacramento on February 15 & 16, 2022. After last year’s event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Scholle IPN is excited to attend and meet with leaders in California’s food producing industry.

The Food Processing Expo is the largest event of its kind in the state of California, and Scholle IPN recognizes the importance of the statewide food producing organization. The annual expo invites vendors, academics, and product designers to discuss innovative ideas in the food packaging and safety sector. Attendees can hop in on seminars, listen to key changemakers give talks, and walk the expansive show floor and network with others in the food processing industry.

We spoke with Michael Trucco, Regional Commercial Director for Scholle IPN, to learn about why CLFP’s Food Processing Expo is a must-visit event for Scholle IPN and what you can expect to see from us—we’ll be at Booth #317!

Why does Scholle IPN attend CLFP every year?

Around 90% of what is grown in the United States, food-wise, is likely grown in California. You find many vendors across the food producing industry at this show and all of the food producers in California attend this show as well.

Along with being a member of the CLFP Supplier Host Council, attending the Food Processing Expo is a good opportunity to see what’s out there in the market, to see what others are working on, and to see all the new and exciting things in the packaging world, in the food world, etc…you name it, it’s there.

Furthermore, a lot of what we do at CLFP has to do with tomatoes. 95% of the country’s tomatoes are processed in California, and we’re well-equipped to help suppliers figure out how to package and store tomatoes safely because of our successful work in the aseptic packaging market.

What can we expect to see from Scholle IPN at this year’s CLFP Expo?

We’ll be there with a number of our barrier films: DuraTech™, which is ideal for frozen products; DuraTuff™, a co-extruded film designed for the processed food market; EnduraShield™, a multi-layer barrier film designed for vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) which provides excellent barrier properties; and ClearShield™, a PET/EVOH laminate for pouches.

With the acquisition of equipment manufacturer Bossar last year, we’re able to provide attendees with more options for filling in pouches. In particular, we’re excited to showcase our new line of zipper pouches, which are spoutless and ideal for dry goods like dried fruits, nuts, trail mix, and shredded cheese. And of course, we’ll always showcase our cutting-edge bag-in-box technology, a sector we’ve been a leader in for decades.

How has the acquisition of Bossar opened up what Scholle IPN can offer food producers and vendors?

We’re always been one of the foremost experts when it comes to barrier film technology and flexible packaging. But now, we can offer our customers total ownership over the entire packaging process. We can provide everything, from the film and fitments they need to make a flexible package to the equipment that actually forms and fills each bag.

Sustainability and food production go hand-in-hand—how should food producers think about reducing their environmental footprint?

The number one thing food producers can do is reduce waste, and that can be done in a number of ways. First, producers can package their food to be shelf-stable through aseptic technology, which not only prevents food waste but eliminates the need for cold storage throughout transport. But producers can also look at the materials they choose to package their products. Flexible packaging uses fewer resources than rigid formats.

Scholle IPN is equipped to help producers with both aseptic and flexible packaging. We’re seeing brands change and adapt as they realize that flexible packaging can help them reduce their carbon footprint. Whether it’s institutional or industrial, everyone is looking to package their product with the least amount of materials, in a way that is shelf-stable, and cuts back on raw materials.

What types of customers are you looking to connect with?

We’re interested in talking to anyone who wants to improve their packaging and make a statement with their packaging. If you’re interested in aseptic technology, we want to talk to you. But we anticipate new players in the food processing sector: pet foods. We anticipate seeing a few representatives from leading dog and cat food brands, and we’ve even mocked up a few pouches specifically with this market in mind.

Scholle IPN can design a system for any processor looking to package fruits and vegetables in a way that is safe, sustainable, and preserves the quality of the product. Learn more about our bulk packaging for fruit and vegetables.

DS Smith discusses packaging trends ‘not to miss’ in the dairy industry; company highlights on-the-go packaging solutions that are ‘smart’ and portable, and circular-ready solutions that replace plastics

Published: January 21, 2022 by DS Sm

Next packaging trends will be dominated by ingenious and more sustainable packaging, here are some of them.

Dairy industry –packaging trends not to miss

Demand for dairy products is expected to keep rising for the coming years, driven by growing populations, higher income levels and rising health awareness. The market is dominated by sales of milk, followed by sales of butter and cheese. Next packaging trends will be dominated by ingenious and more sustainable packaging, here are some of them.

Cool packaging solutions for those on the go

Most consumers today lead a hectic lifestyle. This means they are constantly looking for opportunities to buy products easy to reach, hold, eat or carry. To meet these desires, companies need to put extra effort into developing food packaging to make it "smart" and portable.

Replacing plastics with Circular Ready packaging solutions

Environmental protection has never been more important than today. Increasing pressure from global organizations, customers, and political institutions is driving companies to look for alternatives to plastic packaging.

DS Smith’s Croatian business partner, Vindija DD, specialized in dairy products and beverages, asked DS Smith Packaging Specialists to find a solution to their milk “6 pack”. The objective was to replace problem plastics packaging with a more sustainable solution. Based on the customer's request, DS Smith’s team, in cooperation with the Vindija DD, developed a practical solution that replaces plastics without losing usability, protection, and cost-efficiency. By developing a solution, made with corrugated cardboard, DS Smith strives to meet all these requirements but with a 100% recyclable solution contributing to a more sustainable society.

Attract customers with DS Smith Circular ready packaging solutions

Today consumers don’t just expect but are actively looking for more sustainable packaging. Additionally, whether it's traditional retail or e-commerce - the need to stand out is greater than ever before. Packaging is now part of the product itself and fully contributes to the customer experience. One of the best ways to attract your customers is to design attractive sustainable packaging to stand out from the shelves. The sooner consumers find what they are looking for, the more likely they are to decide to buy your product.
