Blister packs
You know better than anyone how important it is that your delicious chocolate, chocolates or cookies arrive at your customers in perfect condition. Packaging is so much more than just a shell; it is the first impression, the protective layer against the outside world and a silent seller of your brand story. But with so many choices, how do you find the dear packaging that not only optimally protects your product and lets it shine, but also fits your sustainability ambitions? We are happy to answer that very question for you here.
Why optimal protection is indispensable for your confectionery
Think about the journey your delicate chocolates or crunchy cookies take. From the production line to the shelf, and finally to the customer. Many dangers lurk along the way: temperature differences, moisture, knocks and, of course, spoilage. Good packaging not only prevents damage such as breakage or blooming of chocolate, but also protects taste and texture. Moreover, food safety is the most important thing of all. You want your product to remain pure and untainted, exactly as you intended. This means your packaging must meet strict regulations for food contact materials.
Blisters and interiors are absolute tops in this. They form a protective cocoon around each product, keeping individual items safely in place and preventing direct contact with the outside world or other products. This is especially essential for luxury confectionery where presentation is as important as taste.
rPET is the hero for clarity and durability
rPET stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate. Simply put, it is plastic that has already been used once, for example for PET bottles, and is now given a new life as high-quality packaging. And what may surprise you: a whopping 68% of consumers choose products with sustainable packaging. This makes the choice for rPET a smart move for your brand.
The benefits of rPET for your chocolate and confectionery:
- Crystal clear presentation
rPET offers unparalleled clarity, making your chocolates and chocolates beautifully visible. After all, the eye wants something, and the packaging lets the product speak for itself. - Strong barrier properties
The material provides an excellent barrier against oxygen and moisture. This helps extend the shelf life of your products and keeps them fresh and tasty for longer. For fresh produce this is obviously crucial. - Sustainability
By choosing rPET, you contribute directly to the circular economy. You reduce the demand for new plastic, save energy and raw materials, and reduce CO2 emissions. In fact, the environmental impact of packaging can be as much as 43% of total emissions in the life cycle of chocolate, so every sustainable choice counts. - Food Safety
rPET that we use is of course completely food safe and meets all strict European standards for food contact.
rPET is ideal for those beautiful chocolates and delicate bonbons where you want to entice consumers with a perfect visual experience.
PP is flexible and robust for a variety of applications
Polypropylene (PP) is another widely used material in the packaging industry, known for its versatility.
The benefits of PP for your chocolate and confectionery:
- Naturally food safe
PP is naturally food safe, non-toxic and odorless, making it a reliable choice for your food products. - Good clarity
Although slightly less clear than rPET, PP still offers good transparency, presenting your product beautifully. - Flexible and robust
PP is stronger and more flexible than rPET, making it highly resistant to impacts and drops. This makes it a good choice for products that need just a bit more physical protection or for packaging that is used intensively. - Good chemical resistance
PP is resistant to fats and oils, which can be useful in certain chocolate or bakery products. - Recyclable
PP is also fully recyclable, contributing to a more sustainable packaging solution.
PP is an excellent option for chocolate bars, multipacks or cookies where durability, flexibility and robustness are paramount.
