September 2: Ready meals and pâté producer Hamé, based in the Czech Republic, is launching a range of products in two-piece steel bowls which use convenient foil closures produced by canmaker Impress.
Consumer research showed that although the pâtés produced by Hamé were rated as first class the quality was not supported by the original packaging, which used cans with a standard sanitary end requiring a can-opener.
Hamé decided to upgrade its pâté range by launching a new 73mm-diameter steel bowl closed with an Easy Peel end. Both can bodies and ends are decorated using six-colour lithography
