    8 innovative packaging concepts for dairy foods and beverages

    Processors know that the design, shape and color of its product’s packaging can affect the decision-making of a busy shopper. Packaging needs to grab attention and convey the company’s message, and now, in some cases, be more space-saving as well. Take a look at some of the packaging concepts showing up in dairy cases today — they are becoming more competitive, innovative and some might even say, bold.

    Artisa cottage cheese

    Smith Dairy's Artisa Fine Curd Cottage Cheese is a new cottage cheese that features fruit on the bottom. It's unique to the industry because of its 5.3-ounce transparent single-serve cup. The company spent 18 months researching consumer preferences on cup and lid styles, and participated in focus groups, all which contributed to the final design. One clear emerging trend from consumers was a desire to see the product inside, according to the company.
