DS Smith's design team reviewed several single-use plastic packages previously used by Serele Super for its tomato range and developed four fibre-based corrugated cardboard punnets to replace them. The new formats are designed to be compatible with existing production lines and are fully recyclable at the end of life. The punnets are FSC certified and intended to simplify packing operations.

The partnership brings together Zeus’s extensive packaging consumables portfolio and national customer reach with E&B’s technical expertise in automation, materials handling, packaging machinery, and end-of-line systems.

Together, the companies will provide UK manufacturers, logistics operators, food producers, e-commerce fulfilment centres, and industrial businesses with a truly integrated offer—from machinery specification through to ongoing consumables supply and maintenance support.

A Joined-Up Approach to Automation + Consumables

With a strong customer focus and reliable delivery – whether on the requested date or just in time – MedHub is the go-to solution for medical facilities and suppliers needing standard pouches quickly and with minimal effort for efficient, secure product packaging. At its newly extended facility operated in ISO 7 in Coulmer, France, SÜDPACK Medica has streamlined its operations to enable prompt order handling and fast shipment of stocked products.

Plastic card manufacturer Placard and packaging design firm Burgopak partnered to create a premium, interactive mailer for fintech startup Emerge’s new bank card.

The pack is made from 300 GSM artboard printed with holographic foil and spot UV, delivering a tactile, high-end feel intended to elevate what is typically a routine card unboxing experience.

Sasha Fowler, creative director at Emerge, who led the creative direction and concept development behind the pack, says that from the outset the team wanted the bank card’s packaging to be an extension of Emerge’s brand.
