A ScanStar 2014 goes to bespoke SuperLock

A bespoke version of the SuperLock® pot for sliced salami has obtained a ScanStar 2014 in the Nordic packaging competition. The jury highlights the user-friendly twist-off screw-on lid, the elegant look of the pot and its oxygen barrier protection.

Sliced salami does not have to come in a standard tear-open pack. It can also reach the end-users in an injection moulded rigid plastic pot. That is the solution which Norwegian producer of sliced salami Grilstad has effectively launched in Norway thanks to a bespoke version of the SuperLock® pot. Now a ScanStar award in the Nordic packaging competition comes on top of the commercial success.

Grilstad uses the pot for either 120 gr or 150 gr sliced salami. Simple – but original and smart – the lid of the pot becomes the bottom, making the lid a practical serving plate.

Jury highlights high consumer value
The ScanStar jury gives the following grounds for the award:

“Known cheese-dish-with-dome-solution, but now used in a new application which is clearly distinctive on the supermarket shelf with sliced meat. Consumer-friendly with a brilliant mechanism for re-closure with a clear click-sound indication that gives consumers peace of mind. The pack is elegant and can go directly to the lunch table and has an oxygen barrier almost like a metal can. Thoroughly made food packaging with a high consumer value.”

Development Manager at Grilstad Terje Sørnes is thrilled about the award and says:

“We are delighted to get recognition through a ScanStar 2014. We are very happy about our decision to use the SuperLock® pot, and luckily, end-users like it, too. Having considered other options, we chose SuperLock®pot for our sliced salami because it is the only solution on the packaging market that offers three desirable qualities all in one: An oxygen barrier, decoration with in-mould labelling and a twist-off screw-on lid.”

The official ScanStar ceremony 2014 takes place at the occasion of the FoodTech trade fair in Herning, Denmark. Thanks to the ScanStar, the bespoke version of the SuperLock® pot is now eligible for a WorldStar 2014.
