Why they Enter in the Cereal Business
Dunkin’ launched two new cereal flavors made with Dunkin’ coffee in July of 2020 in partnership with Post Consumer Brands. A new line of cereals inspired by Dunkin’ fans’ favorite flavors – Caramel Macchiato and Mocha Latte – is now available nationwide.
This cereal was inspired by the increasing demand for coffee drinks, along with a desire to offer something unique. There’s nothing like a good cup of coffee or a bowl of cereal to kick-start the day.
How their Cereal is Packaged for Consumers?
Dunkin’ Donuts had a historic year in 2019. With their name changed to Dunkin’, the company offers hot coffee, sweet doughnuts, tasty sides, and snacks, and in addition to that, you can also now have cereals as well.
Not only will their packaging be updated, but they’ll also have new products and offerings. In addition to reducing the number of letters on their bags, cups, and custom printed cereal boxes, Dunkin’ has added playful symbols and engaging wording.
Dunkin’ becomes a friendlier and more likable place for customers not only to experience in-store but also take away with them. Wasteful packaging choices have a serious impact on our environment, and most people are now acutely aware of this.
In addition to using recycled materials in its packaging, Dunkin’ promotes sustainable practices, including packaging that is compostable once used.
This is a good example of how Dunkin’ shows that businesses can provide customers with attractive, sustainable, and cost-effective packaging.
