Jar designed for hot fill and distinctive colour

Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Jun 2, 2006

A jar is capable of withstanding the product filling temperature and needed to be contact clear to make visible the distinctive colours of concentrates used.

RPC Containers Corby's Sapphire foodservice jar has given Polish food ingredients manufacturer Grados an ideal combination of function and style for its Torrini ice cream concentrate.

Grados is a leading supplier of ingredients to patisseries, bakeries and ice cream manufacturers.

Its latest product, Torrini is a concentrated paste - available in a variety of fruit and non-fruit flavours - which adds taste, colour and aroma to ice creams and cream.

With the fruit flavours comprising natural ingredients, and the non-fruit flavours containing alcohol, the products are sensitive to oxygen.

Grados required a jar that would maintain the quality of the paste, whilst also enhancing the uniqueness of the Torrini brand.

RPC Corby, working with Grados technologists, proposed the use of the Sapphire multi-layer jar.

Blow moulded in a PP/EVOH/PP construction for excellent barrier protection, the jar is capable of withstanding the filling temperature needed by the product.

In addition, the contact clear container enables the distinctive colours of the concentrates to be visible.

The Sapphire jar is supplied in a convenient 1.2 L size, which provides Grados' customers with a high degree of purchasing flexibility.

"We have found that the Sapphire jar from RPC Corby has excellent barrier properties and a very nice shape," commented Tomasz Wojciechowski, marketing manager at Grados.

"Our customers confirm that the 1.2L size is an ideal capacity for smaller production runs." The jars are distributed to Grados through RPC Corby's agent in Poland, Vertim.
