FOOD PACKAGING FOR DAIRY PRODUCTS THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE CUSTOMER BENEFITS AND ADDED VALUE

CLIENT-SPECIFIC & FLEXIBLE

It is important to us that we can offer our customers in the dairy industry real added value. Our packaging solutions are functional, environmentally friendly, sustainable and appropriately designed.

We set no limits when it comes to the geometry of the packaging: Round, square, oval or rectangular. If it’s possible, we make it. After all, the look and feel of a product often determines within seconds whether consumers will choose it or not.

FRESHNESS &
SHELF LIFE

Our packaging for dairy products provide ultimate freshness and optimal shelf life using innovative barrier properties. We develop packaging solutions that offer optimal protection against external influences such as light, oxygen and humidity, and thus ensure quality and freshness of the products.

At the same time, we ensure that the packaging is easy to open and close again so as to maximise user-friendliness. Our materials and technologies contribute to minimising food waste and they ensure maximum product protection, from production to the fridge.

SUSTAINABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY

At SPIES, we are fully aware of the responsibility we bear for the environment and for future generations. That’s why, for dairy products, we rely on sustainable packaging solutions that are made from recyclable and renewable materials.

Through the reduction of material usage in line with the principle “as little as possible, as much as necessary”, we help to conserve resources and reduce the CO₂ footprint. Our packaging has been designed in such a way that it is almost fully recyclable and we continue to optimise it.

SAFETY &
HYGIENE

The safety and hygiene of our packaging products is our top priority. We use state-of-the-art production methods and strict quality controls to ensure that our packaging meets the highest safety and hygiene standards.

Our packaging solutions for dairy products have been specially designed to retain the purity and freshness of the products, and they stand up to the strict requirements of the food industry. Certifications, audits and extensive tests ensure that all packaging adheres to the relevant regulations and offers maximum product safety.
