Chadwicks has joined forces with plastic engineering specialist Tekplas to introduce a groundbreaking spoon-in-lid solution tailored for the infant formula market in New Zealand, Australia, and East Asia. This collaborative effort has resulted in a packaging solution featuring a plastic spoon securely sealed within the over-lid, with a transparent die-cut lid provided by Chadwicks.
Notably, all elements of this innovative packaging solution, including the aluminum can, over-lid, scoop, and die-cut lid, are fully recyclable, aligning with sustainability goals in the packaging industry.
"The issue with the existing packaging is that the scoop becomes submerged within the contents of the can. By partnering with Chadwicks, we have introduced a significantly more user-friendly and accessible solution," said Scott Laurence, Tekplas’ general manager.
