At a time when supermarkets are being urged to create a plastic-free aisle in every store, the NPD team at the Alexir Partnership have been working alongside retailers to create a carton board fresh produce pack for chilled low barrier products, as an alternative to the APET tray. With an OPP flow wrap it may not be completely plastic-free but it does replace the black tray and is a step in the right direction. It also protects and promotes the delicate produce – two essential requirements for good packaging! The punnet is made of fully recyclable FSC carton board and has reverse print options for branding and recipe ideas.
Winner of Cartonboard pack of the Year at UK Packaging Awards 2017.
