Sweet success for Parkside

Packaging Solutions

A new snack pack concept created for Burton’s Biscuits has earned Parkside victory for the ‘Most Innovative Packaging Development’ at this year’s FMT Food Industry Awards.

Parkside was also named runner-up in the same category for its Parkscribe Steam bag, a self venting, microwavable bag for frozen vegetables.

The winning ‘Snap & Go’ packs were developed for Burton’s Biscuits’ Cadbury Chocolate Fingers range. They comprise 4 x 31 g PP trays with complementary lidding films that have been created to tap into the on the go snacking market, whilst offering portion control features for consumers and strong on-shelf aesthetics for retailers.

Parkside developed the printed lidding film, which has a laminate structure and perforation pattern that could only be created thanks to the company’s multi-directional laser capability. In addition, its PET heat seal lidding film can be sealed to all tray materials including PP.
