McCormick’s Recipe Inspirations TM Offer Convenience

PRLog (Press Release) - Feb. 2, 2010 - The McCormick Spice Company has produced a novel product for today’s kitchen.  By combining a recipe with the right type and amounts of fresh spices, a person can experience the pleasure of successfully preparing any one of six tasty entrees.  The chef supplies ingredients such as pastas, meats and sauces.  Due for release early in 2010, Recipe Inspirations TM could be termed a ‘cupboard on a card’.

 The Strouse Corporation will supply McCormick with the sealing material for the membrane of each ingredient’s blister pack.  Printed with the spices’ name and quantity, the die cut aluminum film will precisely seal sixteen single- spice packages.  Each package will then be separated and attached to a product card that contains a recipe and the other herbs and spices for a main dish.

 McCormick sought a company with a solid reputation as a precision, rotary die cutter and printer for the twenty-six spice varieties of the Recipe Inspirations TM product.  Strouse’s expertise in this field and its close proximity to McCormick forged an engaging business alliance.  With a close working relationship, Strouse is able to accommodate any changes in McCormick’s production schedule by quickly gearing to whatever spice that is currently being produced.  

 The Engineers at Strouse were able to lower costs by designing the preformed lidding film to adapt to a larger quantity of blister packs per sheet.  From a ‘green’ perspective, Strouse recycles and reuses 30% of the packaging to McCormick.  
 
 The Strouse Corporation is located in Westminster, MD and is a certified Women’s Owned Business.  It is also a 3M Preferred Converter and Master Masking Converter. Strouse supplies die cut adhesive components for the Solar, Electronics, Automotive, Defense, Medical and Appliance industries.
