EDV Packaging drinks Gallina Blanca's caldos

The package ensures properties such as long preservation of packed product and barriers to oxygen and moisture.

03/02/2006 Barcelona, España - EDV Packaging drinks Gallina Blanca's caldos. It's good times for the pre-cooked meals and healthy snacks markets, so Gallina Blanca has joined the trend of packaging with on-the-go caldos packed in rigid barrier plastic containers. Throughout the last decade, ready-to-eat caldos and soups have been sold in 1 litre family tetra-brick packages, but Gallina Blanca chose EDV Packaging to develop the individual microwaveable container that was launched in the Spanish market in late December 2005.

<B>A YOUNG LOOK AND PRAGMATIC DESIGN</B>

EDV Packaging coextrudes and thermoforms the base material at its production plant in Barcelona and has designed a modern, exclusive and pragmatic container with a PP/EVOH/PP white structure. The precise combination of barriers guarantees excellent thermal stability through a robust sterilisation process. The product is stored at ambient temperature and has a 12 months shelf-life. The microwaveable package has a diameter of 89,5mm, a height of 101mm and a brimfull capacity of 320cc. Moreover, the package ensures properties such as long preservation of packed product and barriers to oxygen and moisture. The cup has been designed with the inclusion of ribs in the side panels for two purposes: to resist deformation in processing and to offer some insulation properties to the customer during consumption when the product is hot.

The cup has been hermetically sealed using a peelable plastic lidding thus offering a 100% plastic barrier solution. It has been decorated with a high quality shrink sleeve, rotogravure printed, and an injected rigid overcap -supplied by Procap Llagostera- which assists in stacking. All together the pack has a significant on-shelf presence and is eyecatching and attractive to consumers who are looking for a quality product and convenience.
