Vegan Spread Straight Out Of The “Barrel” By Sonoco
For its line of 100% plant-based "Brotzeit" spreads, Tartex uses specially designed PermaSafe® packaging by Sonoco.
Sonoco worked in close cooperation with Allos Hof-Manufaktur to develop a customised packaging solution based on the PermaSafe containers. The packaging for the plant-based alternative to spreadable meat products and cheeses is produced using in-mould labelling (IML) technology. Sonoco's PermaSafe is a lightweight plastic packaging solution that guarantees long shelf life and offers attractive design options. It harnesses the advantages of plastic packaging for sterilized foods conventionally packaged in metal cans. Allos Hof-Manufaktur takes full advantage of the open design options available with IML packaging. The faceted shape of the new 125g containers replicates a tiny barrel made from wood slats. This structure enhances rigidity and reduces the amount of material required. Sonoco manufactures the plastic packaging at its production facility in Zwenkau near Leipzig, Germany.
High convenience and striking appearance
Designed for maximum convenience, the user-friendly lid is easy to open and resealable. A die-cut aluminium membrane seals the packaging. "After sterilisation, the spreads keep in the PermaSafe container for twelve months without refrigeration," says Andreas Rothschink, Sales Director Plastic Packaging at Sonoco. "This makes IML packaging a modern and consumer-friendly alternative to metal cans."
The injection-moulded label features a special matte finish developed by Sonoco for a natural, paper-like feel. These qualities underscore the naturalness of the product and give it an appetising appearance. With the IML process, the polypropylene containers are manufactured and labelled in a single operation. Key advantages include the container's eye-catching appearance at the POS and the option of wrap-around labelling. IML is also beneficial in terms of recycling, because there is no need to separate materials. This is a compelling argument for customers at organic supermarkets and health food stores.
