Packaging that Packs a Labor-Saving Punch

When bakers think of back of house and the packaging for the ingredients they use on a daily basis, the first thought that comes to mind should not be “unwieldy.” “Dawn Foods is always evolving our packaging to be simple and effective. And in today’s shrinking labor market, ensuring the bakery team is spending the least amount of time possible opening and closing pails and bags matters more than ever before,” said Maginn. Our new Dawn Exceptional® E-Z Open™ Flat Icings have a proprietary lid design that takes three times less force to open than Dawn’s current lids*, meaning teams can focus on baking and decorating, instead of struggling with packaging and wasting valuable time.

Boxes are one of the most common packages found in bakeries across America.

For front of the house solutions, consider single serve, grab and go packaging as well as clear packaging or packaging with windows. Integrating clamshells, clear or wax bags and other window containers into the mix will accomplish a few things: increase visibility and access to products without the need for a team member to take things out of the case, and secondly, help bakeries market with ease by creating unique combinations of products. Maginn said, “think about window boxes featuring a collection of your best selling donuts, or perhaps even inventory you’d like to sell before it’s no longer at peak freshness. With a little effort, this type of packaging can create a self-serve, yet high service environment for your customers that helps you sell more and sell what matters most to your profitability.”
