text: Sauces have always played an important role in our world’s cuisines. They can be used to season a dish, add the finishing touch, or serve as part of the dish in their own right – but whatever the case, sauces are what complete many dishes, both sweet and salty. In terms of flavor, it doesn’t matter if they’re served cold like mayonnaise, warm like pesto, or hot like béchamel. Sauces exist in any variation you can think of – the range is continually growing, and its diversity knows practically no limits.
  Ketchup and dressings fall under the market category of sauces, too. These days, there’s no need to take extra steps to prepare most of them, because if you need them on the spot, they can be purchased ready-made in most supermarkets. But most manufacturers still place high value on a natural flavor: Above all, consumers want products with natural and in some cases organic ingredients as well. This quality has to be apparent at first glance – transparent packaging that lets consumers see the product, such as that made from PET and PP, is becoming more popular in particular.
  At Greiner Packaging, we offer a wide range of bottles. From barrier solutions to bottles with recycled material content and reusable bottles. Nearly everything is possible!
  Cups and tubs can certainly be described as ‘the classics’ of food packaging. Besides protecting the product itself, they are easily stackable and offer a wide range of decoration possibilities.
  Buckets are available in many industries. By reducing weight and using recycled materials, a contribution can be made to sustainability.
  Every Jack has his Jill – just like every cup has its lid. Greiner Packaging offers a variety of lids which not only protect the product but can also include various functions.
  A bottle often includes a closure. We offer solutions for sauces, spices, baby, healthcare or sports bottles
  At Greiner Packaging, we produce cups, buckets, bottles, and closures for ketchup, sauces, dips and dressings. Our packaging allows easy dispensing in order to meet the expectations our customers and consumers have with respect to sustainability. This minimizes the amount of leftover product – and therefore valuable food – that remains in the packaging. Thanks to the barrier properties of our packaging, we also ensure that sauces and similar products have as long a shelf life as possible without requiring preservatives. Our unique Kavoblow technology, for example, allows highly transparent plastic bottles to be produced in combination with MBT (multi barrier technology). These bottles also stand out for their temperature stability and have a high oxygen barrier – making them ideal for products that don’t just need an attractive look but also require a shelf life of up to a year. Caps with a silicone membrane are ideal for cleanly dispensing the product without leaving residues behind.
  Greiner has achieved a significant success in the area of sustainability: the group of companies, including the Greiner Packaging, Greiner Bio-One and NEVEON divisions, has been awarded platinum status in the internationally recognized EcoVadis rating. Following its gold status in the previous year, Greiner is now among the top one percent of companies rated worldwide.
