HEINZ CASE STDUY[/b][/b]

Since 1869, Heinz has not only surprised but also delighted the consumer. When founder Henry John Heinz introduced his fresh horseradish in a unique clear glass bottle, the concept of full disclosure through packaging was unheard-of. Equally fresh was the notion that product packaging could greatly enhance the appeal of the food inside. Today, Heinz continues to elevate the science of product packaging to an art form. The recent innovation of a lighter, easy-open can for products like Heinz® soup is packaging innovation that benefits both the consumer and the environment. The cans’ lighter weight also reduces the overall weight to transport them, saving fuel and improving efficiency. Heinz has segmented its packaging as per country like in North America; Heinz is giving everyone more ways to enjoy America’s Favorite Ketchup. The Heinz Dip & Squeeze dual-function ketchup package for the foodservice industry promises to make eating on-the-go more fun and convenient. In the U.K., Australia, Indonesia and New Zealand, we are converting to lighter-weight cans for products such as beans and soups. In China, infant food jars are now wrapped in paper sleeves, a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic shrink-wrap.

These factors make packaging converting a low-margin and competitive game, worldwide

The problem: the pizza inside becoming soggy by the time it reached the end customer. This is because of the moisture created by steam on the inside. This company innovated to build a system which allows the steam to pass out and prevent the moisture from affecting the freshness of the pizza. This is a clear case where the brand owner can ensure that the consumer receives a superior product and one that is better than the competition.

Innovations in packaging

Wireless power? Twenty minutes ago: a cup of soup cooking instantly when set on a wireless charging surface; while still in its packaging. Well what you have to do is pull a tab; put your snack on an eCoupled countertop, and press "low," "medium," or "high" on your f'ing cup of soup.. That's it! Magic! I'm not cooking until this becomes a reality.

Problems with the naming, labeling, and packaging of drugs contribute to errors that cause patient injuries and deaths. Names, labels, and packages are not selected and designed in accordance with human factors principles. FDA standards do not require application of these principles, the pharmaceutical industry has resisted change, and private sector initiatives have had only limited success.

The Indian market for all types of packaging materials is estimated variedly between Rs. 280 & 300 billion per annum

Of this, the consumer packaging market has been estimated at around Rs. 140 billion

Consumer Packaging is highly fragmented, with only a small percentage of companies above Rs.1 billion sales revenue mark

Bulk packaging is primarily in the small scale sector, mainly on account of the Government’s reservation policy for the SSI sector

In the packaging sector, there are very few foreign firms operating in India on a JV basis or as subsidiaries

On the packaging machinery side, while a wide range is manufactured in India, the industry also imports machinery, especially at the high end.
