SIG Combibloc, one of the world’s leading system suppliers of carton packaging and filling machines for beverages and food, is now working with premium cocktail mix expert Funkin.

Following the success of different packaging formats, Funkin has chosen SIG Combibloc’s 1000 ml combifitMidi carton pack for its 100 % natural fruit cocktail mixes, ensuring brilliant quality and convenience. The carton pack provides clear benefits to the user, including efficient and long life storage and easy opening and pouring, courtesy of its simple open and resealable combiSwift cap.

Funkin prides itself on being first to market with 100% natural fruit cocktail mixes, which contain no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or additives. Developed by bartenders for bartenders, the team at Funkin knows only too well the high pressured bar environment, and its mission is to create the perfect ten second cocktail mix every time.  The company needed a packaging partner that complemented its professional cocktail mix range, both in terms of quality and convenience.  The combifitMidi carton pack not only guarantees that ingredients and nutrients are protected, by using SIG Combibloc’s aseptic filling technology, but also exceptional end user convenience.

Andrew King, CEO at Funkin, commented: “A Funkin cocktail mixer may be a shortcut but it’s never a compromise. At Funkin, we fully understand the needs of a busy bar and party environment, and our mission is to provide authentic premium cocktails in the shortest possible time. Packaging is essential to this and using the combifitMidi carton pack for the first time will ensure our cocktail mixes are protected from light and air, and quality and nutrition is conserved. The convenient use of the carton pack also frees up precious time for both bartender and party host.”

Cindy Haast, Marketing Manager Europe North at SIG Combibloc commented: “Funkin’s cocktail mixes are a perfect fit for our 1,000 ml combifitMidi carton pack, with exceptional quality for the end consumer and ease of use for the cocktail maker.”
