Food Packaging

Gymkhana Fine Foods required two food packaging solutions, a four-pack and a larger eight-pack.

Smurfit Kappa has worked previously with the restaurant and said its corrugated food packaging needed to be re-enforced because of damage from courier mishandling.

Gymkhana sought a more protective e-commerce packaging solution for their fragile glass jars.

This project was focused on ramping up protection, leveraging the previous food parcel box design to elevate the safeguarding of our customer’s precious glass jars during transit.

The introduction of attached caps across all Juice Burst SKUs will make it easier for consumers to recycle the products more effectively, reducing the frequency of bottle caps being discarded or littered and helping to ensure they are captured and recycled with the rest of the packaging.

The attached caps will also see the removal of foil seals from all Juice Burst bottles, reducing foil packaging waste by 10 tonnes annually.

Purity Soft Drinks has invested significantly in testing, development and new factory equipment to deliver this packaging update.

Borough Broth turned to Smurfit Kappa as they were experiencing a series of packaging challenges. Despite supplying premium bone broths to renowned brands such as Waitrose, Holland & Barrett, and Ocado, their products were initially packaged in nondescript boxes lacking distinctive branding. The use of sheep’s wool insulation in their boxes to maintain the broths’ temperature raised concerns about the packaging’s environmental impact.

The move to replace traditional plastic based flexible film with VektroPack’s High Barrier Paper Flex product aligns with VektroPack’s commitment to sustainability, and will play a big part in helping brands meet APCO’s 2025 national packaging targets, the company says. The shift to paper-based film will remove plastic from the recycling stream, and facilitate kerbside recycling of the material by end users. 

The project took four years of innovation, in collaboration with Footprint, MCC and Pagès Group.

Initially launched in Austria with Flora Plant towards the end of 2023, Upfield expects further scaling of its paper solution, aiming to replace up to two billion plastic tubs by 2030, avoiding more than 25,000 tons of plastic waste per year.

The Dutch plant-based foods company operates in four categories – butters and spreads, creams, liquids and cheeses.

Expressing the company’s primary focus on the dairy sector, Tramboo highlighted Khyber’s commitment to innovation, stating, “We will be the first private company to introduce tetra packs in the UT,” Tramboo told.

Anticipating a significant milestone, Khyber Agro has scheduled a dealer meet on January 1st, named the “Khyber Championship.” During this event, the company plans to unveil a new brand logo and packaging. Tramboo emphasized their unique approach, stating, “We are moving in a direction where no one else is heading, all for the benefit of our farmers,” he said.
