- The packaging has to be attractive and recognizable but also protect the chocolate against cold, heat, flavor loss and damage
- Ritter Sport uses environmentally friendly single-material polypropylene flow wrapping which can be recycled.
- It provides perfect protection to the product and its flavor
- The printable plastic makes further tertiary packaging unnecessary which is saving more than 1000 tonnes of packaging a year
- After the chocolate mass has been poured and cooled --> they are conveyed to the flow-wrapping machine
- In a fraction of a second, the flow wrapper envelopes the square and at the same time the snap-open pack is folded and the side fins sealed and cut off
- Everyday roughly 2.7 million 100g squares come off the packaging machines at Ritter Sport
- At the central warehouse, the packaged bars are packed into cardboard shelf boxes, floor displays, counter, displays, cardboard boxes and other forms of packaging
- The temperature has to be kept between 10 to 18 degrees celsius to make sure that 100% of the chocolate flavor stays when it arrives at its destination
