CCT Launches New Partnership with Legendary New York City Italian Restaurant Carmine’s
CCT kicked off 2025 on a high note, recently announcing that legendary New York City Italian restaurant Carmine’s is adopting the EEASY Lid for its line of signature sauces.
Bringing an iconic Italian restaurant and retail brand together with an industry leader in innovative packaging, this partnership helps deliver on consumer expectations for products that feature inclusive and environmentally friendly packaging.
Carmine’s launched its line of fan-favorite signature sauces in four popular varieties in 2021 and currently offers classic Marinara, creamy Vodka, fresh Tomato-Basil, and spicy Fra Diavolo sauces at over 300 retailers across the nation. Cooked in small batches, Carmine’s sauces are the same quality that millions of restaurant-goers have come to love.
Soon to be available in ShopRite grocery stores across the Northeast including Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, Carmine’s sauces topped with the EEASY Lid will provide unprecedented levels of accessibility to Carmine’s sauce lovers in this region.
Commenting on the partnership announcement, Carmine’s CEO Jeffrey Bank said: “Carmine’s was created to bring people around the table for simple yet delicious meals for the whole family. Now with the EEASY Lid, we hope to make that experience even more convenient so that people can recreate the Carmine’s experience at home with ease. We want every day to feel like a Sunday afternoon at grandma’s, and we want consumers to be able to access our sauces effortlessly.”
The EEASY Lid is the “secret sauce” for helping brands like Carmine’s deliver the accessible, sustainable product experience consumers need and want. The patented EEASY Lid reduces the amount of torque, the twisting force needed when unscrewing a lid, by up to 50%. With the EEASY Lid, all it takes is a push of a button and a quick twist for consumers to easily access their favorite jarred products.
The EEASY Lid benefits everyone who struggles to open conventional jar lids and is especially beneficial for the elderly, consumers dealing with ailments like carpal tunnel or tendonitis, and anyone recovering from a surgical procedure. The EEASY Lid is not only an accessible, inclusive packaging solution that helps empower consumer independence, it is also a sustainable packaging option thanks to the revolutionary debut of an aluminum lug lid, a recyclable yet durable and lightweight alternative to traditional tin plate lids.
