GPI Designs Paperboard Cannister For Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee, one of North America’s larg- est suppliers of private-label coffee and tea, announced an investment in new production capability to provide a new, more sustainable packaging option for coffee formats. The Boardio paperboard canister, provided by Graphic Pack- aging International (GPI), provides an alternative to plastic, glass, and metal containers and delivers the same level of freshness and food safety with less waste.
Recent research shows consumers want packaging that is better for the environment, and many are willing to pay more for it. The consumers surveyed preferred Boardio packaging over current can and bag options that dominate today’s retail coffee market. The new packaging provides increased transportation efficiency, as Boardio is delivered flat. Just three trucks are required for inbound packaging vs. 56 for pre-formed cans. “Our new packaging solution is a win for the planet, for our customers and their consumers,” said Kim Cunning- ham, Mother Parkers’ Chief Commercial Officer. “It offers a recyclable packaging option with less plastic, without sac- rificing any of the freshness, consistency, or quality that Mother Parkers-produced coffee is known for.” Board Converting News® is published weekly by NV Business Publications, PO Box 802, Manasquan, NJ 08736-0802.
