Packaging for dry foods
Dry foods are all products that are solid, i.e. offered in the form of powders, grains, crumbles or flakes. They can either be sprinkled or poured and must be packaged in such a way that they remain dry and pourable or their taste is not lost or impaired. Further requirements for packaging for dry foods are: Different portioning options depending on the consumer group, being easy to open and reseal as well as an attractive presentation of the packaging contents. Since spice mixtures, flakes or powders in particular are also often packaged as promotional gifts, the smallest containers and individual design options are also in demand. Packari packaging solutions were developed with this in mind. They have the necessary barrier properties, are of course food-safe and can be individually printed in your company design upon request. Additional services such as labelling, filling or colouring are also available here upon request.
AdvantagesFirst-opening guarantee
Some of our plastic jars, pots and buckets are available with an integrated first-opening guarantee and tamper-evident seal. For screw-top jars without a first-open guarantee, labels are often stuck over the lid and jar as a freshness seal, which serves the same purpose.
User-friendly handling
Tins with 1/8 turn for easy opening (e.g. RTS 82), wide-neck bottles for easy removal of e.g. tablets, or screw caps for easy resealing – we take into account what the end consumers prefer.
Protection from external influences
Packari packaging for spices, cereals and similar products protects the contents from foreign bodies, moisture, mechanical and environmental influences – everything you need for long shelf life and integrity.
Application example
Herbs and spices: Screw top tins and sprinkle tins
Pepper, salt and spice mixtures in small quantities are best packed in our plastic spice jars. You can find them in the Packari Shop in white and in a volume of 110 ml. These spice shakers are plasticiser-free and come with a first-opening guarantee. They have a special shaker lid with two hinged openings: One opening has eight holes, each 2 mm in diameter, and the other has an approx. 2.5 cm2 wide opening through which a teaspoonful can be removed. After filling the spice jar, the sprinkle lid can simply be pressed onto the body of the jar.
That being said, popular packaging for herbs and spices in bulk quantities for the catering and hotel industry are plastic tins made of HD-PE and PET with screw caps; they come with or without lids and with a first-opening guarantee. The first-opening guarantee can also simply be applied by means of a label in the form of a banderole. Upon request, we will be happy to provide you with a declaration of conformity for all HD-PE and PET screw-top tins.
HD-PE screw-top tins with first-opening guarantee can also be ordered with a transparent inner lid for an even better seal. These tins are perfect for dry products, but keep in mind they are not liquid-tight. And last but not least, we also offer measuring cups and measuring spoons made of transparent PP plastic to go with our spice packaging. Both accessories are CE 0408 certified, meaning they are even suitable for holding medical products.
Grains, cereals and powder: Plastic bucket, round/oval
PP plastic buckets are suitable for a very wide range of products, but we also stock round and oval plastic buckets with lids especially for food-safe packaging for your crunchy muesli, biscuits, grains or other cereals. They are made exclusively of polypropylene (PP) and are therefore 100% recyclable.
In addition, like all PP, PE-HD, PS and PET packaging, they are free of plasticisers and suitable for hot filling up to 85 °C – this is important, for example, for filling fats. In this case, however, you should make sure that the plastic buckets are not poured into from above until they have cooled down. But after this they are impressive thanks to their very high stability values and can also be stacked on top of each other – please ask us about the permissible stacking heights.
If requested, we will also issue a declaration of conformity. Please also ask for tamper-evident and first-opening guarantee!
