WalkiLid, developed by Walki, is a user friendly, renewable fibre based lid, designed for milk product packaging. Its excellent printability enables customers to design more impressive lids.
"WalkiLid is not an entirely new product, but lately the lid has been developed into a more user friendly product – peeling back the lid has been made easier, for instance," says Heikki Lumme, Product Line Manager, Packaging, for Walki.
In addition, the product has many mechanical and environmental benefits.
"A fibre based lid is produced from sustainable raw material, so it is easily recyclable and energy-efficient to manufacture. The lid is durable, protects the product superbly and will not get pierced in the shopping bag," says Lumme.
Walki sells its Lid product around the globe, from Australia to Africa. So far, use has concentrated mainly in the Nordic countries. As the product has been developed, there is now a desire to enter larger markets. References are needed for market growth, and a very important one was acquired last year.
"Valio became enthusiastic about the lid when looking for new alternatives for its aluminium lids. Now it looks like our fibre lid is leading this competition, which is of course magnificent," says Lumme.
