Charpak, Another Original Design
16 January 2014
Charpak has created another winning pack for the ambient cakes category.
Charpak was asked to develop a pack to show off a 4” Cake surrounded by 8 Individual Cupcakes. They designed and developed a ‘UFO’ inspired shape that allows excellent all round visibility of the product inside. With the addition of a simple collar for graphics, this proved to be a winner with Tesco for Halloween, with sales surpassing expectations. The pack was firmly aimed at the Premium market with a retail price point of £10. This plays into the sharing/party market where the 4” Cake is shared, with the 8 Individual Cupcakes either consumed during the party or taken home as a ‘party favour’Due to the phenomenal success at Halloween, follow-ups will include Valentines, Mothers Day and Easter products. In addition Morrison’s are looking to the pack for an All Year Round option.
Charpak has built its reputation on designing and producing innovative packaging that seeks to inspire its customers to develop products that will fly off the shelves. Justin Kempson, Sales Director at Charpak says, “ With todays’ tough market conditions consumers are looking for a treat. If we can give our customers a package that shows off their product at its finest then consumers are prepared to pay that little bit more for their parties, as a reward for a hard week or for a family night in”
