Packaging firm Aegg has developed new range of plastic pots to revolutionize the fresh soup and pasta sauce packaging industry.
Featuring built-in pouring spout and a lid with a tear back feature, the microwave-safe pots can help prevent spillage of boiling hot soup.
Additionally, the packaging range is said to be more user-friendly as they allow for re-sealing capability if required. It can also be used with three label solutions including adhesive label, in mould label and print.
Jamie went on to say “Our team spotted a gap in the market that addressed an inherent consumer usage issue with current soup and pasta sauce pots.
“So our in-house design team created the innovative design, which we then combined with our tooling and manufacturing expertise to create something unique within the market place.
“It was important to apply our total management solution approach to these pots, so we have thought about maximizing production efficiencies for the food manufacturer though incorporating common size features across the range and also designing in features for any of 3 label solutions.”
Ideal for either a single or double serving, the new pot range is available in two sizes with the smaller pot comprising 30% less capacity. However, two pot sizes have same diameter at the top.
Aegg said that the versatile pots can also be used for other contents, such as custards, gravies, stocks and broths.
The firm plans to introduce the new range of pots at the Packaging Innovations event, which is scheduled to be held from 1-2 March 2017 at National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England.
