Compatible with Berry’s ribbed closures, the custom jars are designed to prevent leakage and enhance user control with pickle-shaped side grips.
The clear, in-mould labels preserve Grillo’s homemade aesthetic and simplify the filling line process by eliminating the need for label application.
Grillo’s Pickles president and CEO Adam Kaufman said: “We initiated a custom jar exploration with Berry Global to address our biggest consumer complaint, spillage when opening our original jar.
“We knew when we updated our packaging, we wanted the quality of our packaging to match the quality of our product. We are confident we’ve achieved that result.”
