Coffee packaging revamped

Crown Aerosols & Speciality Packaging Europe and Nestlé Professional have teamed up to create a new packing format for the Nescafé range of coffee brands in the UK.

Nescafé approached the company to deliver a new packaging shape, and to replace the current round composite containers, for its Original, Gold Blend and Azera brands. The new container, refined and manufactured by Crown, is developed in three sizes – 500g, 750g and 1kg – and is comprised of three parts:

• A three-piece tin with a rounded, rectangular shape
• A resealable hinged lid plastic cap, developed by AptarGroup, which uses ‘click to close’ technology to keep contents fresh
• Crown’s PeelSeam peelable end, which consists of a thin, flexible aluminum foil lid which is heat sealed to a rigid steel ring.
