FRANCE: CHILLED PRODUCTS SELL WELL
Article Abstract:
Chilled products, which have a good image with consumers, are booming in France. This vitality in the chilled products department is attracting more and more new products, such as fruit juice, filled crepes, and other chilled ready products. Innovation is the driver of the chilled products department, but manufacturers are using the longer use-by date to win on the shelves. Thanks to different packaging modes - sous-vide, adjusted sous-vide, modified atmosphere and brushing with gas, the extension of the use-by date no longer poses technical problems, but the use-by limit has now become a marketing too. It is difficult to say whether today's trend is towards longer or shorter use-by dates. However consumer's search for more taste should benefit a use-by date which guarantees the products taste.

FRANCE: DEVELOPMENT OF A SHRINK SLEEVE
Article Abstract:
The shrink sleeve market comes to FFr 5bn worldwide, and FFr 4bn in Europe alone. Half of its applications are in the food industry, 25% to 30% in the hygiene and beauty industry, and 15% to 20% in household products. The market is expected to rise 15% to 20% a year from 2000 to 2002. Up to now, the shrink sleeve has been used for grouping products in batches for a promotion or for protecting packaging. Now the sleeve is increasingly used for its appearance. It has the advantage of taking any shape, of providing more flexibility, and decorations which take volume into account. The decorations are more brilliant thanks to photogravure, and have the appearance of a photograph.
