Australia's Smart Lid appoints Iran distributor

Australian packaging firm Smart Lid has appointed Caffè Dilano as the exclusive distributor for its product in Iran.

The Sydney-based packaging firm produces a heat sensitive beverage lid called the Smart Lid.

This colour changing disposable lid warns of the hot contents by turning bright red, with the lid returning to a ‘cold’ colour as the beverage cools down.

The technology draws attention to the hot liquid with the purpose of warning those around of the potential scald danger, the company said in a statement.

“Every week we continue to be amazed by the product enquiries we receive many different regions of the world. We a very excited about the Smart Lid expansion to Iran as business owners of all sizes are always looking to deploy new packaging to draw attention to their brands,” said Smart Lid founder George Bayss.

Smart Lid is currently in the process of scaling up production output to meet international wholesale foodservice enquiries.
