Supporting the UK Food Sector

Food packaging demands consistency, compliance and strong visual presentation. Whether it’s a grab-and-go snack, a dessert tub at a cinema or a branded spoon pack at a visitor attraction, the packaging must perform as well as the product inside.

We work with clients across the food industry, including dairies, dessert brands, event caterers and entertainment venues, to deliver packaging that meets strict hygiene requirements, offers strong shelf appeal, and can withstand cold-chain handling. From freezer-safe tubs to printed lids and serving accessories, we supply products that support food safety, speed and customer experience.

Tailored Branding & Pack Presentation

We understand that food packaging needs to work on the shelf and in the hand. That’s why we offer in-mould labelling (IML) for durable, full-colour branding applied during the moulding process. Unlike stickers or wraparound labels, IML doesn’t peel, smear or degrade, even in refrigerated or frozen conditions.
