The Atlantic Bakery Expo on March 18 - 19, 2012 in Atlantic City drew many impressed visitors to the Efco booth.  We received great feedback on our fillings and mixes in regard to taste, appearance and quality. We exhibited many of our new items that have been developed and have broadened our product line.  Cream cheese filling was featured in bars, tarts and cookies and got rave reviews. Donut dips, caramel items and hot fudge sparked a lot of interest! Our 2 lb. pouches were on display and attendees were able to realize “hands-on” how easy it is to use this type of packaging.  Our R&D and Sales team did a great job preparing and making sure we never ran out of samples! Thank you to all of our current and future customers who stopped by to visit us.  We look forward to seeing you again in the future!

Key Attributes of “Easy Pack” Fillings:

     Convenient and Easy to Use – Just clip of the corner and the filling can be dispensed as needed.  The angled cust of the sleeve bag creates a pastry bag style puch that is a perfect dispensing tool for the baker.  Is also saves time as the baker does not need to transfer filling from a pail to a  traditional pastry bag to begin dispensing.

     Easy Pack fillings allow for better portion control and are perfect for filling or topping cakes, cheesecakes, donuts, danish, parfaits and other decadent pastries.

     Easy Pack fillings are more sanitary and stay fresher longer.  The baker is only opening one 2 lbs. sleeve at a time compared to a large pail that may contain up to 40 lbs. of filling.  There is also less chance for foreign particle contamination.

     Easy Pack fillings are perfect for those slower moving itmes.  No more concern that what’s left in the pail is going to go bad before you have a chance to use it.
