The plastic pots for Simpson’s of Manchester’s Christmas Puddings that are being sold exclusively through Spar supermarkets for the 2014 season have been supplied by RPC Bebo UK.
Simpson's which is a family-run business produces a wide range of own-brand and private label food products.
The business was established in 1910 and its Christmas pudding is inspired by the original recipe from that year.
The company is supplying microwaveable white 89mm diameter 140ml thermoformed polypropylene pots which are being sold in a two-pack format, with an attractive cardboard outer sleeve in traditional Christmas red and green colours.
A part of the RPC Group, RPC Bebo is considered to be one of Europe's leading manufacturer of thermoformed packaging, providing effective solutions for a wide range of markets including margarines, spreads, fresh, frozen and ambient shelf stable foods, coffee capsules, vending cups and dairy products.
Simpson's Foods managing director, Mathew Simpson said: "The new pots look great and have really helped the product to achieve stand out on-shelf, as well as complementing the core Simpson's pot sponge range.
"We have been delighted with RPC's contribution to this project, which has helped us to achieve a very successful launch for this new range."
The company has seven manufacturing sites in Germany, France, England, Poland and the Netherlands along with a sales office in France and a distribution centre in Germany.
