Macpac set for core range showcase at Packaging Innovations

UK thermoformed packaging company, Macpac Limited is set to showcase its array of solutions for the food sector, including confectionery, at the upcoming Packaging Innovations show in Birmingham, writes Neill Barston.

The event, which takes place between 21-22 February, will place a valuable spotlight on the full spectrum of the industry, offering industry trends as well as a broad series of exhibitors and education sessions delivering insights on latest market developments.

Backed by an in-house design team and tooling facility, the 100% recyclable PET packs on display will include tricels, transit trays, box inserts, heat sealed blister packs and clam shell options. Packs utilising the company’s patented Surecel closure system for excellent tamper evidence will also be featured.

With full AA+ accreditation for packaging materials from BRCGS (British Retail Consortium Global Standards), the business supplies thermoformed packs for a range of food sectors including confectionery, bakery and snacks. Manufactured using food grade raw materials, the trays and containers, box inserts, clam packs and flow wrap trays offer functionality, security and brand impact.

Recognising that design and graphics are the key elements to successful retail packaging solutions, its in-house design team works closely with customers to develop packs that are visually eye-catching yet also reflect brand values, convey product features, and include vital technical information or instructions for use.

Produced from medical grade PET, the packs are ideal for a wide range of sterile and non-sterile packaging applications including surgical instruments and kits, implantable devices, needles and syringes, pill dispensing and to facilitate the self-administration of measured doses of medication.

Macpac’s innovative Surecel self-locking clamshell style blister packs are available in stylish designs for maximum brand impact but also boast extremely high levels of security. The innovative patented closure system is quick and easy to close yet offers a solution to tamper and pilfering issues. In addition to a standard Surecel range, Macpac offers customised options.
