XACT Prepack, a provider of packaging solutions for the UK food industry, has announced a collaboration with Frutmac, an Italian manufacturer known for its recyclable cardboard packaging and automated packaging machinery.
The move introduces a range of cardboard packaging, including Frutmac trays and punnets, designed to meet the needs of the UK’s fresh produce and food sectors.
Crafted from materials such as conventional corrugated board and grass paper, these cardboard options can be tailored to specific requirements, including the application of stretch or flowpack films, and are available with features like PET-coating, lids, and various presentation options. Frutmac also offers bespoke printing capabilities.
Beyond the packaging itself, the collaboration provides UK businesses with access to Frutmac’s automated packaging machinery. This integrated approach is described as offering a ‘complete, efficient’ solution, streamlining the entire packaging process from product filling to final presentation.
Paul Bennion, director at Xact Prepack, said, “We are thrilled to announce this partnership with Frutmac. This collaboration underscores our ongoing dedication to providing packaging solutions that not only meet the practical needs of our customers but also align with a more sustainable future.
“With increasing pressure on businesses to adopt environmentally sound practices and the ongoing focus on reducing plastic waste, the demand for high-quality, recyclable alternatives is clear. Frutmac’s innovative range, including their adaptable trays and punnets, aligned with their advanced machinery perfectly complements our existing portfolio, enabling us to offer a truly comprehensive and sustainable packaging proposition to the UK food industry.”
Matthias Alber, head of sales at Frutmac, added, “Partnering with Xact Prepack represents an exciting opportunity for Frutmac to introduce our cutting-edge sustainable packaging solutions to the UK market. Our range of Frutmac trays, with their adaptability and customisation options, coupled with our automated machinery, provides a compelling, eco-friendly choice for a wide variety of food products.”
