5L Fridge Pack introduced by Highland Springs
Highland Spring Water, Product shots, Prestonpans, 12th March 2022
Highland Spring is introducing a new 5L Fridge Pack, a first for the category which builds on their 10L hydration pack which launched in 2021. The new addition to the Highland Spring range demonstrates the growth opportunity for large format dispense solutions.
This 5L format offers consumers a larger pack size of natural source water that can be drunk in or out of the home. These large format packs tap in to a continuing consumer trend for alternative packaging solutions. The 5L fridge pack keeps fresh for up to four weeks once opened.
Available in ASDA stores from early March before rolling-out into other grocery and online retailers, the new 5L pack size is the most requested size by consumers, after 10L, and offers a more compact solution for shoppers as the trend for staycations and ‘the big shop’ continues.
Mike Buckland, consumer marketing controller at Highland Spring, commented, “The new 5L fridge pack is a natural extension to our range in a tried and tested format. We have seen from the success of our 10L Hydration Pack that consumers were looking for additional dispense solutions. The 5L pack meets on-the-go and at home decanting occasions and fits perfectly in the fridge. This new addition underlines our focus on innovation which delivers formats for every consumer occasion.
“The new space efficient 5L fridge pack should be merchandised in-store with Highland Spring multi-pack formats, mid-shelf for ease of handling. The easy-to-store pack also provides a solution that supports online delivery streams, offering convenience and enabling us to reach more shoppers.”
48% of current bottled water buyers said a large dispense still water format from Highland Spring would be very appealing, and 1 in 2 shoppers said they would include it in their online shop. This new product provides better value for money, uses less plastic, can be stored in the fridge and stays fresh for longer once opened, than other formats, according to the company.
