Interzoo 2016

The world’s biggest trade fair for the international pet industry is on its way: Interzoo 2016. RPC Superfos will be at stand No. 423 Hall 4A showcasing a wide-ranging selection of innovative packaging solutions for pet foods.

At Interzoo 2016 in Nuremberg from 26 to 29 May, RPC Superfos will showcase a selection of great packaging and storage containers for pet food pellets - from small to large, round to square, and with many options for colours, inserts and dosage cups.

Peter van der Linden, Sales Manager Non Food, RPC Superfos Region Central Europe, says:

“We look forward to welcoming pet food producers from all over the world at our stand. RPC Superfos offers high quality solutions that live up to the trade’s requirements in terms of autoclaving, stackability and high level hygiene.”

LongLife™ is for wet pet food
A highlight is the innovative LongLife™ pack for wet pet food. It is a small, square, rigid plastic pack forming an excellent alternative to the commonly used aluminium tray. LongLife™ is suitable for autoclave. It has UV light barrier protection and an oxygen barrier for extended shelf life. The 115 ml size is perfect for single serve meals and your customers will enjoy that the pack is re-closable: in case of any left-overs the lid will prevent odour transmission in the fridge.

Peter van der Linden encourages pet food producers to let plastic packs cover their packaging needs:

“Even though you have always used a metal pack, you may find out that plastic actually has a lot of advantages for your trade, your logistics and your customers. We hope to get the chance to have a chat with many pet food producers at our stand, so that we may find the best possible match according to their specific needs,” he says.

HalfMoon™ is full of benefits
At Interzoo RPC, Superfos also showcases a big pail in an ergonomic shape called HalfMoon™. The half-moon shape means that the filled pail actually feels lighter as it is ergonomically carried underneath the shoulder – making it ideal for pet food pellets. A bespoke version of this pack received a WorldStar 2015.

From the RPC Superfos range
The RPC Superfos range for pet foods comprises the versatile UniPak which is available in numerous volumes (ranging from 120 ml to 5000 ml) and several shapes - round, rectangular, oval or square. It is also widely used as a measuring cup.

The SuperCube® container is a square or rectangular pack which is also available with a two-compartment insert – perfect for pet owners who want to serve pet food and fresh water all in one go. In the SuperLift® range all-round lid types fit several volumes. Among the smaller packs is the RingLock® series, which withstands hot filling.

Promotional items enhance customer loyalty
Certainly, your customers appreciate a free gift once in a while and promotional items such as storage containers and UniPak measuring cups enhance customer loyalty. The sturdy Hobbock storage container is a great example. It is 100 per cent airtight and comes with wide and deep grips that make it convenient to carry.

Your pack deserves the best look
The advanced In-Mould labelling technique from RPC Superfos lets you maximize your branding messages. Anything is possible: showing a perfect picture of pet food bites; inserting a clear nutritional table or making an emotional connection through pictures of adorable pets. Whatever your choice, you get premium printing quality on all surfaces.
