The launch of a new lunchbox staple has been a rip-roaring success with the help of high quality aluminium lids from Chadwicks.
A world leader in pre-cut lid manufacture Chadwicks has produced UV flexo printed aluminium lids with a special coextruded sealing layer, which enables an easier peel suitable for the new children’s snack, Rippa Dippa.
Rippa Dippa, part of the Mattessons brand from Kerry Foods, is a portion of 100 per cent chicken breast bites with reduced salt ketchup dip for the perfect quick and delicious snack.
Chadwicks is part of the Performance Films and Foils business unit of the Flexible Packaging Division of the global Clondalkin Group, and works with sister company Nyco in Switzerland to deliver expert packaging solutions to its customers.
Derek Benjamin, sales manager at Chadwicks, said: “Working on the designs and production of a product aimed primarily at children allowed us to unleash both our creative side and industry expertise in order to create a fantastic, fun, yet functional lid for our customer.
“We have been working with Kerry Foods for a number of years and continue to build on the great working relationship we have established. We have now made another great addition to our lids portfolio, which has provided Rippa Dippa with enhanced shelf presence and impact at the point-of-sale.”
Part of the Clondalkin Group, Chadwicks works with its sister company Nyco, a shrink sleeve manufacturer based in Switzerland, to provide a joint service to multi-site European buyers, meaning Chadwicks, together with Nyco, can provide a wider range of print processes including UV flexo, gravure and offset litho.
John Williams, new product development manager at Kerry Foods, said: “Chadwicks always works closely with us to ensure that the designs for each of our product lids are optimised for print. Chadwicks continues to impress our new product development team and has provided us with a quality, easy peel lid that is perfect for the children’s market.”
Chadwicks is a world leader in supplying lids to the food and beverage markets. Aluminium based lidding is a standard product for sealing to all container types, including PS, PP, PE and PET.
Ideal for products with an extended shelf life, aluminium provides an effective barrier against water vapour, oxygen, light and aromas. The metallic appearance of aluminium can also be used as part of the lid design and is an ideal material for additional features such as embossing and special applications.
Chadwicks has more than 50 years of experience in the flexible packaging industry and is a world-leader in pre-cut lid manufacture, as well being a supplier of choice in shrink sleeve production.
