FOOD PACKAGING FOR ICE CREAM THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE CUSTOMER BENEFITS AND ADDED VALUE

SUSTAINABILITY

We are committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly food packaging for ice cream, we use recyclable materials such as monomaterial, we use renewable resources, and we reduce material usage in line with the principle “as little as possible, as much as necessary”. 

We strive to make our packaging sustainably usable and we consistently optimise its quality to achieve this. The weight savings not only help the environment, they also contribute to cost effectiveness in the use of materials and logistics. Nevertheless, the barrier properties and the associated shelf life, as well as the handling of the filled product in the development and production process, always take priority.

QUALITY

In the manufacture of our packaging, we make use of certifications, audits, and comprehensive tests to ensure that the quality and hygiene standards of our products are guaranteed at all times. Especially in the area of food packaging for ice cream, the topic of temperature stability and resistance to rupture or breakage is of key importance, and this area is also optimised by way of numerous tests and with the expertise gained over many years.

BETTER CONSULTING We are development partners & trailblazers

Consulting is a key part of our offering in order to ensure both partners are fit for the upcoming economic challenges and opportunities. We have the expertise to make your work easier – in many different areas. In close collaboration with our customers, we find the answers to relevant questions in advance.

On the basis of these criteria and the associated influencing factors, we develop tailored packaging solutions.

We advise with regard to:

  • Relevant EU guidelines and sustainability requirements of materials
  • Marketing potential, packaging design and cleverness of the packaging
  • Development of recyclable or biodegradable solutions
  • Material and cost savings through lighter packaging
  • Packaging requirements with regard to filling, transport, shelf life, safety and storage
