RPC Superfos wins two Scanstar awards

RPC Superfos has won two Scanstar awards in the annual Nordic packaging competition, for its EasySnacking pot on-the-go and bespoke panna cotta with fruit sauce, developed for Finnish dairy producer Valio. 

Both packs are injection moulded in polypropylene.

EasySnacking is ideal for dairy to noodle dishes and fruit stews to soups, with a spoon placed under a self-adhesive label in the lid.

The pot is available in two sizes and with two lid designs, one which has room for the spoon and one which has a compartment for a topping or sauce.

According to the judges at Scanstar, EasySnacking “lives up to the requirements of a pack for the ‘on-the-go’ market…The closing mechanism is an extra advantage which makes it simple to stack the packs.”

The special feature of the pot for Valio is the click-and-push spot at the bottom of the pot.  To serve the panna cotta, consumers take off the sealed foil, turn the pot upside down and squeeze the bottom a few times.  This makes the pot break in three places and, as the air gets in, the panna cotta and sauce come out. 

The Scanstars will be presented at an awards ceremony in Gothenburg, Sweden on October 20.  Both packs are now eligible to receive a WorldStar in the next round of the competition.
