Global Industrial Case Study

The Client: A national supermarket group standardising fresh-produce packaging across its regional depots.

The Challenge: Trays sourced region by region had drifted in wall thickness and colour, so presentation varied between stores and the packing lines could not run one film setting.

Our Solution: We consolidated the specification onto a single material and tolerance band, matched the colour across the whole size range and supplied trial pallets to each depot before the changeover date.

The Outcome: All depots now run one film setting, the presentation is uniform across the estate, and the customer has since added two further size ranges to the same programme.

B2B Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does 16 oz square cold salad carry a migration statement?

A: Yes. Migration data is part of the compliance file and is issued per material grade, so the document set covers every batch we ship on that specification.

5.5-Inch Series: The 8oz, 12oz, and 16oz round/square-round bowls all share the same 5.5-inch lid fitting (round bowls pair with round lids; square-round bowls pair with square-round lids).

7.5-Inch Series: The larger 24oz and 32oz square-round bowls share the standardized 7.5-inch square-round lid.

Q2: Can 16 oz square cold salad be supplied in a different colour for a private label?

A: Yes. Colour is matched to a retained standard and checked through the run. Where the colour is a brand-critical match we will produce a colour plaque for approval first.

Q3: What temperature range does 16 oz square cold salad cover?

A: The formulation is rated from freezer storage through to microwave reheating, so one container covers the whole chain without a transfer step.

Q4: How do you prevent damage in transit on 16 oz square cold salad?

A: Units are nested and bagged, then palletised with corner protection. Nesting carries the load through the stack rather than through the individual walls.
