Kurzfassung

An SME located in the South of Italy (Calabria Region), operating in the packaging sector, has developed an innovative package system (international patent already granted) for spreadable food and non food products. It is composed of two main parts: a central body and a sliding blade, which allows to spread the product straight from the pack, without the use of knives or any other accessory. The company is looking for research and/or cooperation collaborations.

Details

An SME located in teh South of Italy (Calabria Region), operating in the packaging sector, has developed an innovative packaging system (international patent already granted) for spreadable food and non food products. It allows the product to be spread straight from the pack without the use of knives or any other accessories.

The following are examples of products that can be used in combination with Spread Pack: (food) cheese, cream, butter, jam, jelly, pâté, fleischbutter, etc.; (non food) hair removal cream, hair coloring system, plaster, glue, etc.

The innovative Spread Pack system is the result of a very intense research and development activity carried out employing human resources and specialised technologies in the phases of product development and testing for optimization.
It consists of the following main elements:
1. a central body;
2. a sliding blade;
3. a flexible film;
4. a cap – seal;

The system works in a very simple way: after removing (1) the seal (A) and pressing (2) on the flexible bag (which contains the product) (B), the integrated sliding blade (C) comes out automatically allowing to deliver and spread the product (3).
The system is realized with plastics injection moulding and film thermowelding techniques, with the use of recyclable materials and/or biopolymers.

Innovative Aspects:
ADVANTAGES
- Absolute novelty with consequent strong product differentiation;
- Inclusion of the spreading accessory, which makes itself automatically available;
- Amusing and safe to use also for kids;
- More consumption occasions of spreadable products, also outside home;
- Sale through different commercial channels (GOD, Horeca, Vending, etc.).

INNOVATION
Compared to the packages proposed on the market today, the system, besides being just a pack, has also an active role in the consumption (food) or in the use (non food) of spreadable products.
