Clean-Label Creamer Sachets

'Milk In A Stick' is Additive-Free, Shelf-Stable & Made with Pure Milk

— May 28, 2019 — Lifestyle
Diamond Crystal Brands and Lakeland Dairies came together to launch Milk In A Stick, a line of clean coffee creamer products that are made with just one ingredient—100% pure milk. These additive-free, shelf-stable coffee creamers are packaged in portion-controlled stick sachets, which are easy to open and pour. In comparison to single-use coffee creamer cups, these clean coffee creamers have other advantages, including the fact that they save on space and do not need to be refrigerated.

The one-ingredient, minimally packaged Milk In A Stick for coffee and tea is being sold through foodservice channels, as well as convenience and office coffee service distributors as "a coffee creamer with a pulse on changing consumer tastes."
Trend Themes
1. Clean-label Products - The demand for additive-free and minimally packaged products presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in food and beverage manufacturing.
2. Portion-controlled Packaging - The rise of portion-controlled stick sachets provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in packaging design and waste reduction.
3. Shelf-stable Food - The trend towards shelf-stable products opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in food preservation techniques and distribution logistics.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage Manufacturing - The clean-label trend creates an opportunity for businesses to develop innovative manufacturing processes and formulations that meet consumer demands.
2. Packaging Design - The demand for portion-controlled packaging offers opportunities for businesses to create innovative packaging solutions that enhance convenience and reduce waste.
3. Food Preservation and Distribution - The growing demand for shelf-stable food products presents opportunities for businesses to develop innovative preservation methods and efficient distribution networks.
