Ready Pac Food’s quest for innovation has once again proven successful, as evidenced by another nomination for their stand-out peel and reseal packaging at this year’s PMA Fresh Summit Convention and Expo.
Clear Lam Packaging, Inc. and Ready Pac Foods’ packaging submission has been selected as a finalist for the 2013 PMA Impact Award: Excellence in Packaging. The Peel and Reseal Clamshell Tray is a consumer and environmentally friendly development, is easy to open and keeps lettuce fresh while usingone-third less plastic – allowing for an extra layer on each pallet during transport – and helps Ready Pac to reduce its carbon footprint when distributing to retailers.
PMA Impact Award winners will be announced on Friday, October 18th during the Friday Brunch General Session at the PMA “Say Hello to the Future” Fresh Summit in New Orleans.
Ready Pac will exhibit at the Summit, hosting a booth themed “Ready Pac – Innovation for the Fresh Future”, with the group introducing two exciting new nutrient-dense line extensions, the Baby Kale Blend Bagged Salad and the Baby Kale Turkey Cranberry Bistro Bowl, both of which will be featured for the first time during the Summit.
“Our Baby Kale Blend Bagged Salad is perfect for people who have a clear idea of how they want to prepare their kale dish, while our Baby Kale Turkey Cranberry Bistro Bowl gives consumers a helping hand in reaping the health benefits of kale when they’re pressed for time or don’t want to hassle with finding the right salad recipe,' said Tristan Simpson, senior marketing director and corporate communications for Ready Pac.
'We’ve talked to many consumers who say that new superfoods like Kale can be intimidating because recipes and uses aren’t as intuitive as traditional lettuce. We are confident we can capture an entirely new audience with our Baby Kale Turkey Cranberry Bistro Bowl because consumers can enjoy the awesome health benefits without the hassle of the recipe research and preparation.”
