mercurypointerpetfoodsMercury Packaging was recently shortlisted for a Food Processing Award. One of five finalists in the Packaging Solutions category, the leading UK flexible packaging specialist was nominated for the variety of high quality, printed film-on-the-reel products supplied to Pointer Petfoods for its newly launched dog biscuits and treats.

Utilising the latest flexographic printing and lamination techniques, the film-on-the-reel was specially developed by Mercury Packaging to fulfill the pet food manufacturer’s protective, practical and decorative packaging requirements. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) approved laminated films use a combination of substrates including orientated and cast polypropylene (OPP / CPP) and polyester.

Featuring some 20 eye-catching designs for 500 gram and two kilo size packs of different flavoured bones, cobs, and treats, the films were eight-colour printed by Mercury Packaging using a £1.3 million flexographic gearless press installed at its state-of-the-art 33,000 sq ft manufacturing facility, located in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.

Tony Stanger, Managing Director at Mercury Packaging comments: “The food industry is still a relatively new market for Mercury Packaging which makes this latest accolade all the more special. To be one of five finalists in such a fiercely contested category is a real honour and has made us hungry for more success. The company looks forward to being a winner next year!”

Mercury Packaging offers a diverse range of printing capabilities up to 1250mm wide with 330mm to 750mm design repeat in up to eight colours. It allows printing and lamination to a broad range of material substrates including polypropylene (PP) and biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP). Speciality inks include metallics, light fast, pearlescents, high abrasion resistance, deep freeze, write-on and thermochromics.
