Global packaging manufacturer Coveris, has again secured victory at the UK Packaging Awards, taking home the prize for Flexible Pack of the Year. The company, which won Label of the Year two years ago, received the award for its re-close VFFS packs for Waitrose’s dried nuts, fruits and berries. The win marks a major triumph for Coveris’ Flexible packaging division which recently invested in new re-close machinery which will allow double production capabilities of this format at its site in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. Addressing a wide number of consumer trends, including improved convenience and reuse, ease of opening, better storage, and reduced waste, as a result of superior pack integrity, the format offers a smarter solution for today’s functional packaging needs with judges commending the “brilliant attention to detail and excellent functionality”.
