Heat-and-sip soup with a smile

Drinkable soups and broths in a coffee cup-inspired package offer a soup-bowl/smile-shaped die-cut label that gives consumers a view of the clean-label product.

Clean-label food brand Nona Lim is serving up a line of five heat-and-sip soups and broths in microwavable containers with a soup bowl-style cutout on the front of the package that doubles as a happy smile—“which is the way we want our customers to feel after drinking our soups and broths,” says founder Nona Lim.

Nona Lim Foods was born in 2006 based on clean, simple cooking methods using vegetables, herbs, and spices to create the best flavor and nutrition. The Heat & Sip Cups were introduced in fall 2016 as a way for consumers to enjoy healthy, additive-free soups and broths as a snack or beverage.

The Heat & Sip package—a 10-oz polypropylene cup with a full-body paperboard sleeve—was hit upon during a company brainstorming session. “While working with an advisor on the form factor, the team was inspired by the iconic shape of a coffee cup that everyone buys in the morning,” says Lim. “We wanted our consumers to enjoy our soups and broths as a beverage, so why not make that experience similar to that of sipping a coffee cup.”
