While there are dozens of single-serve food items that are packaged with a spoon, this packaging design from Double H Plastics adopts a fresh form. Rather than having the spoon piece attached to the outside of a container, or be removed from an essential part of the container, this spoon is simply hidden inside the lid.
As well as being ideal for a single serving, this integration of the spoon leaves the rest of the pieces intact for safe storage of the treat inside.
In terms of packaging, the rise in smaller stores catering to smaller households is reflected in designs like these that emphasize single-serving portions, multi-packs or downsized meals for one or two.
