Reimagine Your Pasta Packaging.

The Changing World of Pasta

Do you believe that the pasta industry in the US is on the brink of a dramatic market shift as much as we do?

As margins get tighter, and sustainability becomes more top of mind in boardrooms and classrooms across the world, large consumer food manufacturers are pushing to drive out more costs, be more sustainable and differentiate their products on the shelf. 

Competitive and Changing Markets

Our experience is that your company has probably invested countless hours optimizing your current packaging and logistics processes in such a competitive and saturated market. You have wrung nearly every extra penny of procurement savings that you can in order to add value to your bottom line for your stakeholders and offset any expense volatility of what actually goes IN your product.

While the prices for ingredient markets have been improving, these futures are always uncertain. For a new approach to efficiency and optimization, it's time to say: "It's what's on the outside that counts!"

The status quo for the pasta industry here in the US is represented by a sea of cartons and considering just a drastic change may be daunting. 

Why is challenging this "norm" an imperative?

A Better Way: Flexible Packaging

Retail aesthetics, shelf life, and convenience are recognized attributes of flexible packaging. While the benefits are clear from a branding standpoint, what if there is so much more to this switch than what your customers will experience? According to our calculations from working closely with several substrate suppliers around the country, we have come up with some astounding metrics that justify the move from cartons to film. Just on the substrate costs per unit, we estimate that this switch could result in up to 80% lower costs. Are you ready to take the leap in transforming your business?
