According to vom Achterhof, it decided to opt for Sonoco’s paper-based solution mainly due to the packaging’s contemporary design, environmentally friendly nature, shelf appeal, and its capability to keep the freshness of the products intact.  

Sonoco highlighted that its packaging also allows companies or brand owners to offer different product sizes and prices to their customers.

vom Achterhof is a part of the Vitafy Brands Group and further anticipates that its latest effort to switch to a more sustainable packaging alternative will be noticed by its customers and is likely to create a positive response.

Brand manager for Vitafy Brands and vom Achterhof Laif Pigorsch said: “We recognise that our customers expect us to make sustainable choices and operate in a more environmentally friendly manner. This goes all the way across the value chain – from product to packaging.
