KomeroFood’s goal is to revamp the ready-made food selection in grocery stores by offering ready-made meals that are both tasty and healthy. The ready-made meals from this manufacturer, which also has its sights set on foreign markets, are available in most grocery stores in Finland.

The collaboration with Arteknon began in spring 2022 when KomeroFood needed to find modern and environmentally friendly packaging for its new salad product. They had previously come across HALOPACK® packaging and set out to find a similar cardboard-based packaging solution.

In addition to packaging choices, KomeroFood’s environmental friendliness is evident everywhere. This is particularly evident in the food. For example, KomeroFood prepares its meat dishes using high-quality meat in smaller but sufficient quantities. For the end customer, i.e. the consumer, the collaboration between Arteknon and KomeroFood enables food that looks and tastes good and is as environmentally friendly as possible at a reasonable cost.

The goal of standing out

KomeroFood’s goal is to stand out from other products in the segment, and according to CEO Pekka Nuutinen, they have succeeded very well in this.

“In the salad category, almost all foods are packaged in transparent plastic. Brown cardboard packaging allows products to stand out on store shelves while also taking environmental considerations into account,” Nuutinen praises.

According to Nuutinen, many manufacturers in the ready-made food category want to cover their products. They, on the other hand, want to show them off. In addition to visual appeal, the HALOPACK® cardboard box met the requirements for ensuring food protection and shelf life as well as protective gas retention. The ease of recycling the box and removing the plastic film were also important factors from the end user’s perspective.

Smooth service and storage

Nuutinen praises Arteknon’s storage service. You can keep your own warehouse small when you can order packages from Arteknon’s Kangasala warehouse one pallet at a time, without any delivery problems.

All in all, Nuutinen is pleased that KomeroFood found the packaging it was looking for at Arteknola and that everything has worked smoothly as it should. The packaging was also offered the option of modifying the print after the first version as the branding work progressed, but this has not been necessary, at least not yet.

“Working with Arteknon has been easy and hassle-free, just as cooperation at its best should be. We receive excellent service, and we don’t have to ask for information – it is provided to us without us even having to request it,” Nuutinen sums up.

Arteknolla actively communicates with customers and ensures that packaging is sufficient for the needs of the near future.

Included in future packaging solutions

KomeroFood is constantly researching new products that are in demand. When they are looking for packaging for a new product in the future, Artekno Nuutinen says they will be involved again.
