Uncle Matt’s Juices Better Packaging, Price
Uncle Matt’s Organic Orange Juice, a delicious blend of Florida-grown Hamlin and Valencia oranges that provide an unforgettable “fresh-squeezed” taste, makes the organic choice more accessible for consumers through its innovative packaging and pricing strategy with its new 56 oz. package. The first company to repackage its juice in clear PET #1 plastic, Uncle Matt’s Orange Juice is replacing its 64 oz. version with a 56 oz. size. The new packaging offers consumers the ability to easily recycle their juice containers, as PET #1 is the most recycled form of plastic in the U.S.
The SRP is $3.99 and is far more attractive to consumers than the previous pricing structure. According to Matt McLean, CEO, “We feel that price point is the biggest obstacle in getting consumers to switch to organic foods. Reducing the size and price will help people overcome the initial sticker shock they often experience when considering organic items. This will help grow the category by increasing the number of people that try organic for the first time.”
