Wholly Gelato is a family-owned artisan gelato business that makes Italian-style gelato using fresh milk from their free-range mixed dairy cows. They have recently expanded from selling out of their farm unit and local wholesale to opening a new retail unit in Gloucester Food Dock (coming Summer 2023), where they will serve gelato-based products in a cafe-style environment.
The Challenge
After launching their business four and a half years ago, Wholly Gelato made a commitment to sustainability. They aimed to use compostable or recyclable packaging for their ice cream tubs and spoons, in line with their ethos of producing natural, local, and seasonal products. They take pride in collaborating with local small businesses to create diverse flavors of ice cream.
As environmentally-conscious gelato producers, Wholly Gelato sought packaging options that aligned with their values. That's when they discovered BioPak, a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for serving their delicious gelato.
The Solution
In their quest for eco-friendly and durable packaging solutions, Wholly Gelato discovered BioPak’s high-quality tubs for serving their gelato. Their team acknowledges that it's becoming easier to find environmentally friendly packaging options nowadays, but the challenge lies in finding a reliable company that offers good quality products. Wholly Gelato chose BioPak because they wanted packaging that aligned with their values, while also being trustworthy and of high quality, so they can provide their customers with the best product from start to finish.
"The ice cream tubs are a staple product for our business, and we are thrilled to have found a sustainable and high-quality solution with BioPak. We are eagerly anticipating the delivery of our new branded tubs," says Wholly Gelato.
The Result
Wholly Gelato now serves their gelato in BioPak ice cream tubs, which are made from FSC™ certified mixed paper and lined with Ingeo™, a bioplastic derived from plants, not oil. These tubs are ideal for serving frozen treats without worrying about the paper becoming soggy. With a variety of sizes available, our eco-friendly alternatives are perfectly proportioned to meet all your gelato and frozen yogurt needs.
Custom Gelato Tubs
Wholly Gelato has recently made the decision to elevate their packaging by opting for custom packaging that reflects their brand. At BioPak, we offer the option for custom packaging that prominently displays your logo, brand message, and brand personality, while also conveying the environmental message that aligns with our sustainable packaging values. Our experienced design team can create a digital mock-up that brings your vision to life and provides you with a preview of how your items will look before you place your order.
