Tarplan - A Smarter Way to Package Mayonnaise
With over 30 years of experience, Tarplan is Estonia’s oldest manufacturer of mayonnaise and sauces. Their product range includes eight unique mayonnaise varieties, all made with Estonian rapeseed oil and carefully selected ingredients.
In December 2023, Tarplan partnered with Berlin Packaging to modernize its packaging approach, replacing the traditional film-on-roll process, which required multiple additional steps such as cutting, sealing, and manual handling, with a more efficient, modern, and consumer-friendly solution: Spout Pouches.

The New Solution: Pre-Formed Spout Pouches
The development process lasted eight months, beginning with an initial phase where unprinted samples were tested on Tarplan’s brand-new Leepack filling line to ensure full compatibility with the new production equipment. These trials enabled all partners, Tarplan, Omori Europe (supplier of the fully automatic filling machine), and Berlin Packaging, to fine-tune every detail and ensure a smooth transition without compromising product quality or safety.
The final solution was the introduction of pre-formed Spout Pouches in two sizes: 380g and 210g. Over time, we’ve produced and delivered multiple designs tailored to different products, enabling strong visual branding and a sleek, modern appearance directly on the packaging.
A Packaging Upgrade That Speaks for Itself
The new spout pouches offer several significant advantages:
Quicker and easier to fill, as the new filling machine processes the pre-formed pouches from the open top and seals them with heat. This streamlined method reduces handling, simplifies the production process, and shortens filling times.
Easy dosing and convenient storage for consumers between uses, enhancing usability and helping to reduce food waste.
In addition to operational efficiencies, the new packaging delivers a noticeable boost in shelf appeal. With a cleaner, more stable, and uniform appearance, combined with bold, eye-catching printed designs, the pouches stand out on store shelves and strengthen Tarplan’s image as a brand focused on quality and innovation.
