Paras Pack adds 250g and 500g blueberry buckets and 200g recycled-PET tubes
Indian packaging manufacturer Paras Pack will formally launch new blueberry bucket and tube formats at Fruit Attraction in Madrid, responding to grower and distributor demand for pack sizes beyond the standard 125g. The buckets combine a PP body with a recycled-PET lid in 250g and 500g sizes, with a 1kg version still in development, while a 200g tube is made from recycled PET. Commercial manufacturing is expected to begin in mid-December 2026, initially on a made-to-order basis.
