Generic packaging
ffights‘name’ brands
By BARBARA HICKS
Since the 1977 introduction of
generic packaging coupled with
high volume warehouse-style
supermarkets that reduce ser
vices to cut prices, American
supermarkets and manufac
turers have been obliged to
change the way they package
and sell goods
This trend, described by
Business Week Magazine
(March 23, 1981) as a "wave of
no-thrills retailing," has led to a
noticeable reduction in the
number of name brands sold in
stores
To combat this situation,
many leading brand manufac
turers, such as Borden, Scott
Paper, Union Carbide, and
Glad, have begun making gen
eric products, often selling in
competition with their own
products This is why, when
asked where generics come
from, an employee at Fred
Meyer Food Store in Springfield
declined to answer, and chose
to remain unidentified
The employee did, however,
say that he believes generics
tend to be "standard grade or
better," comparable to the store
brands A supermarket might
buy generics from one company
for several months, then switch
Thus, quality is not always con
sistent in a particular item, ac
cording to the Fred Meyer em
ployee
The combination of generic
items and limited services came
from Europe in 1977 via a Ger
man chain, Albrecht Group,
which opened up its first Aldi
store in the Midwest Aldi
stocked 500 items in contrast to
12,000 items in a comparable
American-style store
It was only a few months later
that a Chicago-based American
firm, Jewel Company, picked up
on Aldi’s apparent success and
begun making the nation's first
line of generic products
