Bell offers food packaging

Bell Packaging has revealed it is now able to supply Jetran packaging suitable for presenting food.

Traditionally Jetran has been used for non food items and the only opportunity for food and confectionery producers to use the packaging was for pre-wrapped items, according to Bell.

Director Peter Lennie says, “For many years Bell has worked in the non food sector and established a network of agents and distributors. Our plant in Luton operates the world’s largest production of clear tubing and with over 300 standard sizes we have excess capacity and are looking for new markets.

“When we introduced the new flat top design of end cap in 2015, more than half the enquires we received were from food companies. Having consulted with them alongside our high street customers it is clear that Jeteran is wanted in the food sector.”

While Jetran packaging has been used by many confectionery brands for gift sets, Bell says it has recently completed trial orders for presenting citrus fruits and other specialist fruit and vegetables. The packaging protects the product, but can also be used as storage and is a useful container for other purposes after the product has been consumed.
