Popcorn packaging

12/10/2022

Puffed corn with salt, caramel or other additives appeared in the 19th century. Since then, popcorn glasses have become an essential attribute for going to the cinema, circus or entertainment centers. Special devices fry corn grains in a few minutes, turning them into an airy delicacy. However, no matter what the taste of the treat is, the first thing the buyer pays attention to is – this packaging. A popcorn box should attract attention and arouse appetite.

In addition, the surface of the bucket replaces the space for advertising. Cinema chains often place their logo on the glasses, so people involuntarily remember the color combinations and the name. The contents of the container are reliably protected from moisture, so they remain crumbly and crispy, delighting visitors.

ATTOLIS produces about 4 popcorn boxes for cinemas in one second.

Puffed corn will not fall apart in them because it is securely packed in closed boxes.

What types of glasses are there for popcorn

Packages differ in appearance, density, volume, material of manufacture and design.  For popcorn use:

• cups;

• buckets;

• boxes;

• packages.

Puffed corn is fried in oil with the addition of dry bulk seasonings or liquid sweet toppings, so the product is greasy and sticky to the touch. Paper popcorn bags quickly become saturated with oil, staining your hands and clothes. The soft wrapper is made of two layers or additionally treated with a waxed composition, and then used to distribute corn from street machines.

It is much more convenient to use popcorn cups. The flat bottom will protect the contents from spilling, the dense walls do not wrinkle in the hand and are easy to transport. The containers have different volumes from 0.7 l (V24) with one serving to buckets for a company of 6 l (V170). You can put not only puffed corn inside, but also candies, cookies, marmalade, snacks and sweets.

Packaging for popcorn meets several requirements:

• made of thick food cardboard;

• treated inside with a fat-repellent layer;

• does not contain sharp edges;

• strong assembly prevents the container from falling apart at the wrong moment; 

• environmentally friendly material that is suitable for recycling.

The cardboard box for popcorn holds its shape, protecting the contents from spilling. They produce open containers with a curved edge or closed ones that fold, protecting the contents. The cardboard does not rustle when touched, which means it does not distract viewers from watching the film. In addition, the paper surface absorbs paint, which means any image can be printed on it, which is actively used by marketers.

What information is placed on the boxes

A boring, dull wrapper does not attract the attention of buyers, product sales fall, and along with them the prestige of the outlet decreases. Something as trivial as a popcorn bucket can make a difference. Rich colors, memorable prints and laconic slogans attract the attention of customers. Popcorn sales increase by 40% when colorful wrappers are used.

Box design may contain:

• premiere film posters;

• popular movie or cartoon characters;

• logo of a cinema, circus or other entertainment establishment;

• standard red print with “pop corn” inscription

• company colors without inscriptions.

Branded buckets increase the status of the cinema in the eyes of the visitor. At the same time, the use of standard glasses depersonalizes the establishment. After visiting the cinema, the client may forget the taste of popcorn, but will remember the film advertisement duplicated on the screen and the box with the treat.

Original wrappers are popular at children's parties. For many agencies, popcorn packaging with a custom print and company logo – lifesaver. Containers replace small bags of sweets, making gifts creative and unforgettable.
