Accurate Pack Moulding Increases Child Protection
RPC Containers Blackburn (UK) has produced a new white two-litre spirit bottle in PET for Kalon, to provide increased child-resistance, barrier properties and clarity.
Custom Bottle
A custom-moulded bottle from RPC Containers Raunds is bringing convenient pouring and stylish appearance to a specialist range of automotive fuel additives from Fortron.
Manufactured by Joubere, the range comprises three core soups, plus a special soup of the month.
Since its launch across Britain in October 2005, the range has proved phenomenally successful, said RPC.
Key to establishing the range was finding a container that fulfilled Joubere and Caffe Nero's need for microwaveability and its ability to effectively re-close to allow take-away consumption.
In addition, the packaging format needed to be easy for Caffe Nero's employees to prepare in-store and rigid enough to cope with the hot-fill, blast chill filling technique without panelling.
The plastic container, produced by RPC Blackburn, is heat-sealed with a printed film membrane and lidded with an overcap, manufactured by RPC Hereford.
To prepare, the seal is removed and the lidded container placed in the microwave.
RPC Blackburn has supplied its 350ml Shaw Pot, which is injection moulded in PP for a combination of durability and contact clarity.
The accompanying PP overcap is thermoformed by RPC Hereford and features an extended tab for ease of opening.
A printed corrugated sleeve doubles as pack decoration and insulation for comfortable handling.
"The success of the Single Serve Soup range confirms the importance of consumer convenience alongside great tasting products, and we are pleased with RPC's significant contribution," commented Andrew Rose of Caffe Nero.
