Chuckles malt-flavored ice cream is now available in IML packages

Chuckles is a well-known brand in South Africa, producing all types of confectionery such as chocolate coated malt, toffee, peanuts, raisins, and coconut balls. Woolworths, the local retail giant behind the brand, has exclusively introduced Chuckles malt-flavored ice cream with milk chocolate and malted puff pieces. Offered in IML decorated packaging, the latest addition clearly tastes like more as the stores were sold out in a blink of an eye. Chuckles set the standard very high for the decoration part and the printing quality of the ice cream tubs and lids, which is why the brand opted once again for an IML-decorated packaging.

Sustainable IML packaging

Woolworths is known for its exciting ice cream flavors and continues to expand its sensational range. While doing so, the brand attaches great importance to sustainable packaging. This sustainability vision is in line with MCC Verstraete’s sustainability strategy, which focuses on offering innovative label solutions that enable packaging to be recyclable, reusable, or compostable.

Chuckles go viral

Woolworths enjoys a high brand awareness, and therefore the brand chose to announce their new product through social media. The message was well-received by the ice cream lovers, and consumers were sharing their own Chuckles products on all the social media channels. Talking about a successful product launch!

Exceptional fast delivery

Due to the great online marketing campaign, the stores were sold out as soon as the new package hit the shelves. “We had to arrange a new IML purchase order six times the amount of the initial forecast. Luckily we could count on the partnership we have with MCC Verstraete. The team understood the demand and did everything possible to expedite the second order. It’s always exciting and pleasant to work with their team and to be able to count on the level of expertise and commitment to excellent customer service,” says Lorena Kleintjes, purchasing specialist at Polyoak.

“The ease of doing business was key towards securing the supply chain and delivering our labels in a speedy time. Being able to coordinate quickly among several departments was a textbook example of our good partnership,” concludes Joe Kaddoum, regional sales manager for Middle East & Africa at MCC Verstraete. “Polyoak is a great client to work with, and we value their loyalty.”

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
