INNOVATIVE CHAOS PACKAGING: The strategy of putting a product in packaging consumers would not typically expect has been labelled "chaos packaging". I love this example from a local brand in Swindon who put gravy in beer cans to boost sales. It also increases their recyclability as traditionally, products like theirs are sold in plastic pouches or glass jars. Potts' gravies and cooking sauces are now stocked in all major supermarkets. They sell about 2.5m cans of gravy annually, with canned products on a whole representing about half of their business. I’m going to try them. What a great simple idea. I must confess, I normally use gravy by the pint. #Food #Packaging #Innovation #Leadership #Sustainability #FoodIndustry #Retail #SupplyChain #Hospitality #FoodService #FoodScience #FoodTechnology https://lnkd.in/eVU2yDWT
