Nutrition

With the nutrition industry, and in particular the infant nutrition sector, having to meet among the highest food safety standards around, we know the important role packaging plays in getting a product to market.

Immunity-compromised adults, young children and especially newborn babies have weak resistance to most types of foodborne illnesses and rely on the protection that packaging brings to these products to be at the highest possible level.

In an industry centred around providing nutrition, preserving the amount of that nutrition within the ingredients is absolutely critical. However, these levels can rapidly decrease if not handled and packaged effectively.

Processing, storage, transportation and packaging materials that create sufficient barriers from oxygen, sunlight, dust, humidity, and temperatures all need to be controlled to provide an enhanced shelf life for the stored product.

Beyond that, meeting and even surpassing the continuous hygiene and safety expectations set by consumers is crucial - not only when the product is on the shelves but also when being used and stored in the home.
Product Integrity.

The growth of nutrition and especially infant nutrition is demanding continuous innovation from the packaging market.

The global infant formula packaging market in 2021 was valued at $1.8bn and is anticipated to reach $2.9bn by 2027.

Innovative packaging has been gaining traction over the last few years with manufacturers and brands focusing on environmentally-friendly solutions that don’t compromise on consumers’ basic needs – particularly for product safety which are secured primarily via hermetic seals and then reclosing mechanisms when in use.

At FORDS, we take all this into account when analysing and working with brands. We look for opportunities to innovate whilst bringing a premiumization into the packaging itself without ever sacrificing product integrity.

The nutrition industry relies heavily on the hearts and trust of its consumers, so great attention must be paid to the entire consumer experience - from the first encounter and first opening experience right up until disposal.

Hygiene, safety and product stability are absolute givens with a FORDS hermetic closure. But we must also ensure that the strength of any seal is balanced with an easy opening experience.
A Winning Package.

We have worked with countless brands on a vast array of nutrition and infant nutrition products that have been widely successful across the globe, so we know exactly what it takes to deliver a winning final package.

FORDS can find the perfect balance between seal integrity and accessibility whilst not compromising on the ability to have a secondary seal which is so critical after the initial opening.

We do this by running an intensive diagnostics process within any packaging development project to test and refine the seal strength and peel performance across a variety of specific criteria.

Through collaborating closely with you, we can help to create the perfect peel profile for your target market which can invoke a level of trust and consumer loyalty that neither marketing nor branding may be able to achieve alone.
