Packaging requires specific materials to be produced. But which one is right for your product? Should you be using conventional plastic solutions or would you be better off switching to paper or recyclable options?

This blog will explain the types of packaging that are most suited to each industry we serve, plus the common materials that are applicable to those products. Please be aware that in some cases, we may recommend something different to what we have outlined here. Every product application is different, every brand will require their own specifications. It’s important that you speak to us first as there are many other aspects to consider, such as packing restrictions, storage and transit requirements, to name a few!

Food & Beverage

Confectionery
We offer confectionery packaging for items such as chocolate, fudge, biscuits and sweets in traditional small paper or plastic laminated block bottom bags. We also provide flexible stand up pouches with optional features such as zippers and easy open cuts (tear notches), which provide a variety of consumer-friendly USP’s.

Fruits & Vegetables
We work with a number of brand owners and supermarkets to deliver quality paper bags for fruit and vegetable products such as potatoes, carrots and onions.  Paper bags used gives a more rustic, premium feel and additional handle features offer great convenience for the end consumer.
