Consumers Can Have Their Cake And Open It, Too: PWP Industries Introduces A New 'Twist' On Ready-To-Sell Cakes
PWP Industries is introducing new cake packaging to address the number-one packaging concern about ready-to-sell cakes.
Vernon, CA (PRWEB) January 13, 2009 -- PWP Industries is introducing award winning revolutionary new cake packaging which features a unique locking design that makes cake domes easy-to-open and reseal. This innovative package will alleviate the struggle consumers sometimes have when opening traditional cake domes.
New Twist-Top (TM) cake packaging from PWP Industries has a unique, easy-to-open design that is resealable.
"Consumers' number one packaging concern about ready-to-sell cakes can be about getting the plastic packaging open," says Hugh Brooks, Senior Product Manager, Dawn Food Products, one of the world's largest independently owned bakery manufacturer and supplier based in Jackson, Michigan.
Looking for a way to add value and convenience for their customers and consumers, Dawn Food Products collaborated with PWP Industries to develop a solution. The result is a revolution in bakery packaging -- the Twist-Top™ Cake Dome.
This easy-to-open, easy-to-close cake dome with base reduces damage to iced cakes, cake decorations and helps keep cakes fresh on-shelf and in consumers' homes. By using the two tabs, the dome can be twisted and easily lifted from the base to open. To close, the dome just needs to be snapped on. This makes it convenient for cake processors and for consumers at home.
Says Brooks, "By partnering with PWP's in-house designers, we were able to develop a product that eliminates opening issues entirely for consumers. PWP was with us at every step, from conducting consumer research to delivery of the product."
Brooks adds, "It wasn't enough for the packaging to offer a functional benefit alone. Ready-to-sell cakes are often impulse buys, representing nearly 30 percent of in-store bakery purchases. Our customers need packaging that lends the product an enticing, upscale presentation. The revamped dome design with clear lid, reduced dome height and new labels will help our customers sell more cake. We also improved the package dimensions to save on shelf space and materials, which benefits the environment."
The Twist-Top™ was warmly received by PWP's peers in the plastics industry and received the 2008 Silver Consumer Packaging Award from the Society of Plastic Engineers (SPE). Judging was based on product creativity, design complexity, surface finish, secondary operations, technical difficulty, innovation and materials used.
