Pulse Flexible Packaging Celebrates Double Success at UK Packaging Awards!

Pulse Flexible Packaging Limited is delighted to announce that they have won two awards at the prestigious UK Packaging Awards ceremony on Wednesday 11th November, at the London Hilton Park Lane, winning the Best Flexible Plastic Pack of the Year and the Rising Star Award for an outstanding young professional.

The ‘Best Flexible Plastic Pack ofthe Year Award’ was presented for packs for a new line in the M&S eatwell range Seed & Nut Mix, Superberry & Almond Mix and Tropical Fruit & Nut Mix, as well as being a finalist in the ‘Consumer Convenience’ category. The product is produced by Hull based snack food company, Humdinger® for M&S.

The bespoke pack comes with a number of high level consumer convenience features, including an easy-open and reclose format, highly visible tamper evidence, and good portion control. The application of Macfarlane’s Reseal-it® technology to the reverse of the pack allows the consumer to easily open and reseal the pack, allowing for effortless portion control.

An additional tear strip, also developed in conjunction with Macfarlane, was incorporated into the tamper evidence feature to ensure the brand owner’s food safety regulations were not compromised and gives additional peace of mind to the consumer, as well as being a finalist in the ‘Consumer Convenience’ category. A stunning easy-open pouch produced for M&S Taste of the British Isles range; Strawberries and Cream Coconut Ice flavour, was also a finalist in the same category.
