It is the perfect pack for holiday celebrations, says United Biscuits'
Dave Head, European Buyer for Tins, Tubs and Rigid Plastics. "People tend
to snack more during the holidays, and our new pack gives loyal customers,
as well as impulse shoppers, a new reason to choose KP Nuts. Whether you
are going to a party, need a last minute gift or simply want a special
snack, KP Nuts in this unique can fill the bill."
Sonoco is supplying United Biscuits with a 99 x 160mm gas-flushable
paperboard can for four flavors in the KP Nuts product line: dry roasted
peanuts (560 grams), original salted jumbo peanuts (600 grams), honey
roasted peanuts (620 grams) and sweet chili peanuts (620 grams). The can,
constructed of two layers of spirally wound paperboard and an interior
barrier liner, is hermetic to protect the freshness of the peanuts.
To help consumers to enjoy their KP Nuts, the package has a
Sealed-Safe(R) foil membrane closure, which includes a tab to make it easy
for consumers to remove the top of the can. The container's silver cap
makes it easy for consumers to reclose and helps the package shine on store
shelves.
KP Nuts in Christmas-themed paperboard cans from Sonoco are available
at all major retailers throughout the United Kingdom through the holidays.
