Packaging containers from RPC provide premuium foodservice jars

Where consistently premium quality food is a must, RPC Containers Corby supplies the famous Loyd Grossman brand with a durable foodservice packaging format.

The reputation of RPC Containers Corby as a leading supplier of foodservice packaging containers has been underlined by a new custom-moulded bottle manufactured for the launch of the UK foodservice industry’s first ever premium range of ready-to-use cooking sauces and soups, under the famous Loyd Grossman brand.

Already a successful name in the retail sector, the qualities of the Loyd Grossman brand are being introduced into foodservice to help chefs meet the increasing demands of consumers in a competitive marketplace where consistently premium quality food is a must.

While in the past chefs have shied away from using ready to use sauces and soups, brand owner Premier Foods has developed a new patent pending manufacturing process to deliver consistent high quality in taste and performance. The range of ten sauces and seven soup flavours are made using only authentic and store cupboard ingredients with no artificial colours or flavours.

Premier Foods required a packaging format that could withstand different processes to suit their wide range of products some of which need in-pack sterilisation, that would be durable in busy foodservice environments and also provide a long ambient shelf life in order to prevent the need for expensive chilled storage space. RPC Corby’s expertise and experience in designing and manufacturing technically demanding foodservice jars was invaluable to meet these stringent requirements. Their PP/EVOH/PP construction maintains product quality, whilst plastics’ lightweight and shatterproof qualities provide a convenient format that also meets food safety guidelines.

For the Loyd Grossman launch, RPC Corby has developed a new 2kg custom packaging design with a vivid asymmetrical shape that is easy to spot in the kitchen and is perfectly weighted to add accurate pouring. In addition to being blow moulded in PP/EVOH/PP, the bottle features UV inhibitors for enhanced product protection. A large decoration area provides room for full and clear nutritional panels and product information, while the resealable closure supplied by RPC Halstead means that chefs can use the product over time without affecting its quality.

“Balancing functionality with distinctive design under tight timetables was always going to be challenging but our close working relationship with the team from Premier Foods has enabled us to develop an outstanding product,” explains Charlotte Priestnall, Product Development Technologist at RPC Corby.

“This is a major innovation for the foodservice sector and it was vital that the product range both reflects the reputation of the Loyd Grossman name and meets the standard expected by chefs and consumers,” adds David Ellis-Jones, Business Development Manager at Premier Foods. “RPC Corby’s contribution ensures that the range will make an excellent impact throughout its shelf life.”
