Freezer-proof paper packaging nominated for award

Parkside’s freezer-proof recyclable paper packaging solution has been shortlisted for an Innovation Excellence Award from The Stationers’ Company, in the Product Design category.

The pack uses Parkside’s Recoflex material and was developed for frozen food supermarket Iceland’s Northcoast range of frozen seafood. The paper pack is fully functional, totally recyclable and freezer-proof.

To create the pack, the paper-based laminate Recoflex material was further enhanced using a water-based coating that acts as a moisture and grease barrier. It also prevents ice crystals from forming on the pack, preserving the integrity of the moisture and grease barrier through the supply chain.

Mark Shaw, Parkside Sales Account Manager, said the pack was a result of hard work and continuous improvement, which is now being recognised.

The Stationers’ Company was first founded in 1403. Its annual Innovation Excellence Awards attract entries from across the communications, content and print industries, celebrating innovation in product design, performance and quality.

The awards will be presented in a ceremony at the Stationers’ Hall in London, England. Following the award ceremony, all nominated innovations will be on show at the IEA 2023 exhibition, which also takes place in the Hall on 25 September.
