Food packaging for every category in your range

Our food packaging range covers six core subcategories — bakery, confectionary, deli and snack, frozen food, fruit and vegetable, and protein — giving procurement teams at food manufacturers and retailers a single, reliable supplier across multiple product lines.

We thermoform across a broad range of food-contact approved materials, matched to the demands of each application:

  • APET — high-clarity amorphous PET for ambient and chilled fresh food formats
  • rPET — post-consumer recycled PET, minimum 30% across our standard food range
  • HIPS — high-impact polystyrene for dairy, deli, and bakery applications
  • Freezer Grade PET — formulated for sustained performance at sub-zero temperatures
  • Freezer Grade PP — polypropylene for deep-freeze environments and long-term frozen storage
  • Microwavable PP — polypropylene approved for microwave use, suited to ready-meal and meal-kit formats
  • Other thermoplastics — additional materials available on specification; contact our team to discuss your requirement

FSSC 22000 certification underpins every food packaging product we manufacture. This internationally recognised food safety management standard covers raw material handling, production hygiene, batch traceability, and pest control — providing the documentation that procurement teams, brand owners, and retail buyers require from approved suppliers.

With our own on-site mould-making and sampling capability, we can take a new food packaging brief from concept to approved sample without involving third-party toolmakers. This shortens lead times, reduces cost, and keeps your product development timeline on track. Explore our full packaging range or request a sample from our team.
