RPC UK is supplying a blow moulded HDPE jar with a vent for Nestlé’s Nescafé Cappuccino, to help minimise packaging materials and streamline logistics.
Geographically close to Nestlé’s processing and packaging plant in Cumbria, RPC Plenmeller was already manufacturing Nestlé’s 530ml jar for Aero and Skinny Cow powdered drinks. A 600ml version was suitable for Nescafé Cappuccino.
The jar releases gases created by the booster ingredient added to the powdered products. The booster ensures that a cappuccino ‘frothing effect’ is produced when hot water is added. Without this venting capability, the jar could deform.
After filling, the jar is capped and decorated with a full-body shrink sleeve that also covers the cap to deliver tamper evidence to the product range.
