MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ring
Container Technologies, a leader in the product packaging and
plastic container manufacturing industry, today announced its
collaboration with Conagra Brands on an aerosol-to-plastic
conversion for PAM Cooking Spray, which is now available on store
shelves. While the new PAM Non-Aerosol Spray bottles will not
completely replace the company's aerosol cans, it does provide
another packaging option for its consumers.
"Conagra has been a longtime partner of Ring, and we were
thrilled to work with them on such an exciting project," said
Brian Smith, Vice President of
Business Development and Innovation at Ring. "This pump-spray
bottle was co-created during a customized session at our Innovation
Center in Oakland, Tennessee, and
six months later, Conagra was prepping their operations for a major
product launch. That's hyper-speed in the packaging and product
development world."
After consumer-based findings revealed that people prefer a
non-aerosol spray, transparent container and cleaner ingredient
statement, Conagra reacted immediately by partnering with Ring.
Together, the two companies were able to create a product that is
designed to meet a specific consumer need in the marketplace.
The PAM non-aerosol packaging project is a prime example of
Ring's ability to help its customers respond to market needs. The
pump spray retains PAM's "spray no stick" performance promise,
while other aspects of the packaging were designed to meet
environmental and nutritional standards, as well as align with
brand principles.
Ring prides itself on working with customers to develop improved
products that not only fulfill, but also exceed customers'
expectations. Ring's Design-Led Innovation Workshop™ is a
co-creative process that uses design thinking methodology
to foster innovation and collaboration. The workshops combine
empathy, creativity and rationality to solve consumer packaging
challenges with breakthrough thinking.
"Working with Ring on our PAM non-aerosol spray bottles was
truly a collaborative effort, and they brought some great
capabilities to the table," said Eric
Sinz, Vice President, Packaging at Conagra Brands. "We
worked together as a cross-functional team to create a modern and
contemporary bottle design that reflects Conagra's new strategy and
direction."
