Fast to Shelf. Full of Flavour. McCormick were on a mission to create global flavour experiences that make every meal better. We’re on a mission too—helping brands get new ranges to market, fast. When their team set out to launch the French’s American Favourites range, speed was everything. A bold new concept built around classic American comfort food, designed for busy kitchens and big flavour. Five recipe kits. Thirty minutes from box to plate. Zero compromise. Buttermilk Chicken. Mac n Cheese. Sloppy Joes. Carolina Chicken. Nashville Chicken. All now sitting proudly on Tesco shelves. Because Alexir offers multiple packaging solutions under one partnership, we were able to move quickly—and keep everything seamless. We designed a slim, gable-top carton tailored precisely for production efficiency. Our manufacturing teams brought it to life, producing the cartons in-house before transporting them straight to our co-packers. Every component arrived exactly where it needed to be, when it needed to be there. From packing and palletising to final shipment, the entire range was handled end to end. We even supplied the corrugated outers, ensuring a smooth, streamlined packing process with no delays or handovers. One partner. One flow. Faster routes to shelf. That’s how bold new ranges launch at pace—and land with impact.

PACK+ adds the ingredient brands often lack, joined-up support. Alongside packing, we help source materials, advise on formats, review artwork for production accuracy and coordinate the full pre-press and component workflow. It’s designed for brands scaling up or expanding their range, where tighter control and better guidance remove friction and reduce costly rework.

Our Packaging Analysis services utilise our vast database of product packaging, allowing businesses to see how their packaging compares to that of similar product packaging and benchmark performance. Valpak can compare product or overall category packaging data against the industry average and industry best in class, so businesses can compare progress. Our database is comprised of data for over 44 million SKUs, with data constantly being collected and updated by our expert team who weigh packaging and analyse data provided by suppliers. This allows businesses to compare their performance against multiple metrics such as the weight, materials, and formats of packaging used by the rest of their industry, as well as metrics such as recyclability of packaging and recycled content. These unique insights can support businesses in terms of highlighting where they are performing above average or showing areas where they can focus to make tangible changes. For example, we have helped companies identify material savings through light weighing packaging, or identifying packaging you could use that is more recyclable.

The threat of climate change is generating an increased consumer desire to purchase products that have minimal effect on the environment and is driving the implementation of extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation across the globe. If businesses don’t act now to evaluate the packaging and products they are placing on markets, they could be left behind in terms of environmental performance, which could damage their reputation and increase their environmental compliance costs. It is hoped that packaging legislation reforms will provide businesses with an opportunity to gain in-depth insights from their data, which they can use to make positive changes to packaging. We provide a Packaging Technology Consultancy service, which is underpinned by packaging experts and robust data, and forms part of our wider Packaging Analysis service. Our expert consultants will: Process map the journey of your products – cradle-to-grave approach. Document current packaging specifications (board grades, microns, polymer types, etc.) Re-engineer packaging to mitigate packaging, operational, and EPR costs Identify quick wins – opportunities to reduce, reuse, standardise. Help you to plan for the future (responsible sourcing, EPR, and ESG reporting, etc)

The packaging used in the paint and coatings industry does not vary too widely in shape and size. Common containers found in the industry are round paint style cans, oblong f-style cans, monotops, conetops, aerosol cans, industrial round jugs, and rectangular f-style jugs. Sizes range from one pint to 2.5 gallons. Bulk-sized packaging used in the industry includes pails, drums, and IBC totes with sizes ranging from 1 gallon to 275 gallons. Plastic HDPE jugs and tinplate metal cans are the most common materials used for these types of packaging because of both materials’ trusted durability. Stock metal packaging is often available unlined but is also typically stocked with rust inhibitor or epoxy lining. Matching lids, dispensing systems, and other accessories such as seals are available based on the product needs. Covers with gaskets for plastic pails to tamper-evident closures for plastic jugs are also commonly stocked for a complete package.
