To bring awareness to its new KETTLE & More range, [Kettle Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kettle-chips-party-bag) is implementing [potato chip packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/consumerfocused-packaging-strategies) with branded RE:CLOSE Tape from Essentra Tapes. These colorful strips not only serve to show off the three newest additions to the KETTLE & More range but also help to promote freshness and portion control.

This clever packaging supports Kettle Foods' KETTLE & More as a [better-for-you snack range](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-snacks), especially as the line combines the brand's classic kettle chips with slices of fruits and vegetables like sweet potato, beetroot and apple. As ever, the brand is committed to preparing its high-quality snack products without artificial ingredients.

As Daisy Scott, Assistant Brand Manager at Kettle Foods, describes: "The Essentra RE:CLOSE Tape gave us a great opportunity to interrupt the shopper journey with our NPD news. The tape was an effective way for us to reach existing KETTLE Chips consumers and ask them to reassess their normal purchase."
