Parkside takes fresh approach to fruit packaging with lidding film innovation

Award-winning flexible packaging expert, Parkside has expanded its portfolio of lidding film solutions, giving food brands, packers, and processors of fresh produce, meat and dairy, more options to tailor their packaging to suit specific product applications.

This comany's range includes Popflex®, the monopolymer lidding film with laser-scored integral easy-opening, which means the film is suitable for recycling when weld-sealed to a matching PET tray. This enhanced recyclability earned the innovation a Recyclable Packaging Innovation award at the Sustainable Packaging News Awards in 2024. Parkside’s market-leading range also includes recyclable reclosable films, as well as a range of monopolymer, compostable, paper, and standard polymer films that can be used for almost any application.

“No two packaging projects are ever the same,” said Ian McManus, Sales Account Manager at Parkside, “Which means each application requires a tailored approach that considers all of a product and customer’s needs.

“Our lidding film portfolio is unmatched in its size and scope, meaning customers can tailor their packaging until every detail is right for them. Whether a customer wants high barrier properties, easy-open functionality, recyclability, print quality, or a balanced combination of the above, we can deliver.”

Most recently, Parkside’s sustainable film innovations were showcased as part of tray sealing machinery expert ProSeal’s stand at the annual Fruit Logistica showcase (5-7 February in Berlin).
