Michigan-based Palazzolo’s Artisan Dairy has chosen a round polypropylene UniPak pot from RPC Superfos for its range of artisan ice cream, gelato, and sorbet products. The company was seeking a packaging solution of sufficient quality to match its fresh, uncompromised ingredients. In particular, CEO and Founder Pete Palazzolo selected the UniPak pot because of its standard tamper-evidence feature, which is easily detectable and comfortable for end-users to break.
“The tamper evidence of the UniPak pots is very attractive,” Palazzolo explains. “Besides assuring the end-user of an untouched product, the feature optimizes our manufacturing process and, at the same time, it safeguards the quality of the Palazzolo products. This is because tamper evidence eliminates the need for burning a foil seal on the plastic rim, so our gelato avoids a heat shock—it stays delicious and we save time.”
Also key to the solution for Palazzolo’s is the spoon in the container’s lid, which makes the range’s 69-mm-dia size perfect for eating straightaway. This adds convenience to Palazzolo’s gelatos, sorbets, and more, which are often sold from food trucks in front of football stadiums, concert halls, and at other events where people buy treats for immediate consumption.
