RPC Containers told manufacturingtalk.com that Premier Foods required a packaging format that could withstand different processes to suit their wide range of products.
Some of these processes need in-pack sterilisation, that would be durable in busy foodservice environments and also provide a long ambient shelf life in order to prevent the need for expensive chilled storage space.
RPC Corby's expertise and experience in designing and manufacturing technically demanding foodservice jars was invaluable to meet these stringent requirements.

A large decoration area provides room for full and clear nutritional panels and product information, while the resealable closure supplied by RPC Halstead means that chefs can use the product over time without affecting its quality.
"Balancing functionality with distinctive design under tight timetables was always going to be challenging but our close working relationship with the team from Premier Foods has enabled us to develop an outstanding product," explained Charlotte Priestnall, a product development technologist at RPC Corby.
Business Development manager at Premier Foods, David Ellis-Jones, said that the bottle was a major innovation for the foodservice sector and it was vital that the product range both reflects the reputation of the Loyd Grossman name and meets the standard expected by chefs and consumers.
He added: "RPC Corby's contribution ensures that the range will make an excellent impact throughout its shelf life.".
