Tubs

Berry Astrapak offers its dairy customers thermoforming, thin-wall injection-moulding and a variety of blow moulding options. Thermoforming is a cost-effective and high-speed production method that produces lightweight, robust packaging with minimal waste. Berry Astrapak’s plants extrude all sheeting for our thermoformed packaging, which ensures food-grade hygiene compliance throughout the production process. There is an extensive food-grade moulding capacity within the larger Berry Astrapak Group, which includes IM, IBM, ISBM and EBM. This is available for customers who wish to explore alternative dairy packaging.

Ultra-Modern Decoration Options

Berry Astrapak offers a range of ultra-modern decorative techniques for dairy products and these options can be tailored to suit customer needs.

IN-MOULD LABELLING (IML)

This high-speed technique synchronises robotics and injection moulding and places the label in the mould at a precise point in the injection cycle. IML is available for multiple tub shapes and lids. The result is a perfectly labelled product with high-end graphics, scuff resistance, counterfeit protection and massive shelf shout. The technique is ideal for dairy as IML weathers the cold chain perfectly.

SLEEVING

Berry Astrapak offers full-length sleeving for dairy products. This award-winning technique offers major shelf-support to brands and provides critical product distinction in a highly competitive market. Sleeving is fast, versatile and can be tailored to demand so that packaging stock is optimised. Sleeving can be combined with both injection moulding and thermoforming.

OFFSET PRINTING

This provides a cost-effective and flexible design option for dairy packaging. Printing can be done in up to eight colours and is available for all sizes and lids.

ADDITIONAL DECORATIVE TECHNIQUES

Further options from Berry Astrapak include pressure sensitive and wraparound labelling, hot and cold foiling, silkscreen and flexographic printing.
