Traders Point Makes a Point by Packaging Cheese in Glass
Zionsville, Indiana dairy Traders Point Creamery has tossed out the plastic containers and replaced them with stylish glass jars with metal lids and shrink-sleeve labels for its cottage cheese and fromage products.
"This is a much more attractive package than our square, flat-top plastic container, and it draws attention to our award-winning product inside," says Gail Alden, Traders Point Creamery's director of marketing, media and events.
The company’s handmade cottage cheese is a European-style cultured cheese that is hand-packed, with smaller curds and a simple, less prominent dressing than most conventional cottage cheeses today. The International Metal Decorators Association recently recognized Traders Point Creamery for their new glass jars by awarding it Best in Category among closure entries. Traders Point Creamery is also a past recipient of the Glass Packaging Institute’s Clear Choice Award.
