RPC Superfos has helped to create a sleek updated pack for Norwegian company Mills DA, which is designed to maintain and increase customer interest and loyalty in Mills’ margarine brands.
Products from Mills support a healthy lifestyle. Its margarines, including Soft Flora – mainly containing Nordic canola oil – and Vita hjertego’ – made from sunflower and canola oil – have very little saturated fat and are spreadable directly from the fridge. The re-launch of these products in a bespoke improved packaging solution from RPC Superfos recognises the fact that the margarine business is a competitive one that also demands continuous development in terms of its packaging.
Ole Kristian Vestbekken, senior packaging consultant at Mills, said: “With the new packaging we have successfully created a strong family image on shelf for Vita hjertego’ and Soft Flora – each in three sizes. All varieties have the same visual expression.
“We are very pleased with the result. The pack is easy to recognise, which strengthens the relation between our products and our customers. We have created a distinctive character for Soft Flora and Vita hjertego’ margarine, leaving no doubt about who the brand owner is.”
The Norwegian company paid particular attention to lid design, in terms of looks and functionality. The artwork signals softness and natural ingredients. The decoration and graphic finish have been made possible thanks to in-mould labelling – even at the rim – leaving room for a message to the customer on the indentation of the lid, for example ‘choose heart-wise’ and ‘spreadable’.
A team from Mills and an external industrial designer worked with RPC Superfos to create the new packaging solution, which is injection moulded in polypropylene.
