FLAUM chooses SC 118-1000 for pickles
In collaboration with Five Star Packaging, INTOPACK has developed a packaging solution that perfectly aligns with the high-quality standards of FLAUM, a well known brand in the U.S. market for traditional, fresh, and fermented foods. For their sour, half sour and hot sour pickles, FLAUM selected the SC 118-1000; a sturdy, leak tight container that combines optimal product preservation with a distinctive appearance.
Why the SC 118‑1000 is the ideal tub for pickles
Pickles place specific demands on packaging. They contain high moisture levels, are salt or acid based, and must retain their freshness and crunch throughout the entire shelf life. The SC 118-1000 is designed precisely to meet these requirements.
1. Excellent leak‑tightness
For moist and acidic products, a reliable seal and secure closure are essential.
The SC 118-1000 offers:
- A robust rim geometry that ensures a strong, consistent sealing
- A tightly fitting lid design that prevents leakage and spills
- Maximum protection during storage, transport, and refrigeration
For both retailers and consumers, this results in packaging that remains safe, clean, and dependable, even after repeated opening and closing.
2. Guaranteed product preservation
Acidity, fermentation and moisture require packaging that maintains its shape and performance over time.
The SC 118-1000 is known for:
- High shape stability, even during long term refrigeration
- Material suitability for acidic food products
- A stable barrier that helps preserve product quality
This enables FLAUM to maintain the signature freshness, crunch and flavour of their pickles until consumption.
3. Shelf presentation that stands out
Beyond functionality, visual appeal plays an important role in the competitive refrigerated category.
The SC 118-1000 provides:
- A clear, transparent container for optimal product visibility
- Ample decoration area for branding and product information
- A clean, professional and premium appearance suited to modern retail presentation
FLAUM took this even further by choosing a striking pink lid. This colour accent creates instant recognisability and draws attention on the shelf. A smart marketing choice in a category where many products look visually similar.
In close collaboration with Five Star Packaging
Five Star Packaging played a key role in coordinating and aligning the solution with the needs of the U.S. market. Through close cooperation between FLAUM, Five Star Packaging and INTOPACK, it was possible to:
- Combine technical requirements seamlessly with brand strategy
- Optimise the logistical process
- Develop packaging that meets both European and U.S. quality expectations
The result: a strong, distinctive and reliable packaging solution
With the SC 118-1000, FLAUM now has packaging that is:
- Leak tight and hygienic
- Supportive of shelf life and product freshness
- Premium in presentation
- Enhanced by a unique pink lid that boosts brand recognition
- Convenient for retail, logistics, and in home use
This product case demonstrates how the right packaging does far more than contain a product: it conveys a brand story, improves the user experience, and creates powerful shelf impact.
