INNOVATION IN PACKAGING DESIGN OR FUNCTION ➊ LATE JULY ORGANIC SNACKS Restaurant Style Tortilla Chip Contact: Sarah Nelson 508.362.5859, ext. 151 sarah@latejuly.com latejuly.com FALL 2014 S27 ➊ COOP'S MICROCREAMERY Coop's Microcreamery Handmade Hot Fudge IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE HIS PRODUCT STAND OUT on store shelves, Marc Cooper looked to the packaging to create something that not only looks but smells good enough to eat. Coop's MicroCreamery's handmade hot fudge is packaged and sealed with a patented lid made of chocolate-scented wax, in a design that resembles thick hot fudge dripping down the sides of the jar. "When I started doing it, I said, I want to try to set myself apart from all the other hot fudges out there," Cooper explains. Cooper goes to great lengths to source most of the ingredients for the all-natural hot fudge locally, including the wax used for his signature "drippy" lid. Seeing steady company growth, Coop's has introduced a 3-ounce jar of the hot fudge, and Cooper says he has plans to market and sell a caramel topping with a similarly designed lid. The company also offers a nondairy version of the hot fudge. Suggested retail price: $8.99–$9.99/10.6 ounces.
