Innovation

The value we place on innovation guides everything we do, from our product collection and tailored services through to our supply chain and internal operations. We strive to remain at the forefront of the packaging industry’s capabilities with a proactive approach that finds sustainable solutions with ease and efficiency.

Award Winning Packaging Innovation

We have won multiple awards for our innovative approach including two innovation awards in 2024 for the development of ‘HeatWave’, a heat-retention insert for takeaway pizza boxes. This included winning the category of ‘Business & Product Innovation’ at the PAPA Awards, a ceremony that recognises the biggest achievements across this vast section of the UK foodservice industry. HeatWave was also recognised for its innovative design at the 2024 ‘Lunch’ show at London’s ExCeL. Featured as part of the event’s ‘Innovation Challenge’, HeatWave was given the highest possible Gold award by the panel of expert industry judges.

We were also recognised as ‘Highly Commended’ for the ‘Innovations in Packaging’ award at the 2023 Footprint Awards. This was in recognition of the innovation behind the development of our ‘Crave’ foodservice packaging range – a collection of takeaway food containers that combine quantifiable sustainability benefits with complete practicality & impressive performance.

For both our foodservice and grocery clients, we filter our approach through our ‘4 Pillars of Excellence™’. By consistently processing our solutions through these four key criteria, we ensure that each packaging project delivers client value at every stage.

This dedicated, holistic approach looks in detail at the environmental sustainability of packaging, the performance characteristics required, how we can lower operational costs for our clients and the use of our highly reliable supply chain that’s backed up by state-of-the-art technology.

Each of these key criteria are approached with an innovative mindset as we look to strive for continuous improvements through embracing the very latest material technologies, production techniques and operational systems.
