Eco packaging and labelling experts Planglow have expanded their brilliant white Blanco Collection by adding a large and a small salad pack to the fully compostable range. The now 12-piece collection has been designed to emphasise product quality and is inspired by casual dining trends delivering a lighter brighter presentation across a wide range of grab and go items.

Rachael Sawtell, marketing director for Planglow commented, “The Blanco Salad Packs have been created to showcase salads and more by allowing the products they hold to become the star. They also highlight the handmade nature of your produce through on-pack messaging. Sporting the minimalist stylings of our lighter, brighter Blanco range, these fully home compostable packs blend a whitewashed wood effect print, cool grey detailing and a brilliant white finish. In addition to salads, they are also ideal for sushi, desserts and sandwiches - in fact the large salad pack can be used to display a speciality bread sandwich and a side salad providing a value added offer”.

Available in two sizes - large (1000cc’s) and small (650cc) – the crescent clasp packs are quick and easy to seal. Fully lined with our unique home compostable bio laminate these versatile packs protect against leaks and seeps from juicy produce and rich dressings. The Blanco Salad Packs also feature not one but two windows (formed from the bio laminate), for greater product visibility on the shelf: a large viewing window in the top plus a clever little side window too in the front of the pack so you can see what’s inside even when stacked in the chiller. The packs are fully home compostable and free of oil-based plastics.

The Blanco collection also includes a deep-fill wedge, standard-fill wedge, heat seal wedge and bloomer pack plus three fully compostable clear bags – a multi-bag, a wrap-bag and a baguette-bag too – which offer a crystal clear view of the product(s) inside. Made from a plant-based EN13432 certified compostable material, as with the wedges and bloomer pack, the Blanco bags may be disposed of in a domestic food waste bin, as well as part of an industrial composting scheme.

Card inserts are available for the bags. Sold separately they aid insertion and provide rigidity, while remaining fully compostable and recyclable too.

To finish the range Planglow has three sizes of Blanco labels as well as brand new for Summer 2016 Banner and Bunting Labels which provide a colourful, summery finish for seasonal salads, sandwiches and snacks. Our labels may be overprinted using our market leading labelling software LabelLogic and brand new online application LabelLogic Live*.
