Secure snap from RPC keeps spices compact
A modified Snap Secure pack from RPC Market Rasen has given herbs and spices manufacturer Lions Foods Ltd a compact tamper-evident container for the well-known Lion brand.
RPC Market Rasen’s patented Snap Secure design is commonly used in healthcare applications but, as General Sales Manager Ashley Salter explains, “its convenient design, excellent tamper evidence and recloseability also make it ideal for packaging of herbs and spices.”
Lions Foods Ltd has selected a 75ml Snap Secure, injection moulded in cream PP, for Lion Curry Powder and Dried Thyme. RPC Market Rasen made a number of modifications to maximise the pack’s suitability for the application. An outer ring has been added to the base of the pack for increased stability, whilst the lid is manufactured in 50% HDPE and 50% PP for improved capability with Lions Foods Ltd’s capping equipment.
The containers are dry offset printed with distinctive and colourful floral motifs, filled by Lions Foods Ltd, and shipped to Nigeria.
With nine million units required, service was also a crucial requirement. “RPC Market Rasen’s ability to deliver high volumes and their co-operation in customising the pack to meet our production needs enhanced the benefits we get from the pack itself,” comments operations director Dave Cunningham.
