CNP ‘beefs up’ packaging with National Flexible
C
NP Professional, provider of sports nutritional supplements for a hungry market, have teamed
with Yorkshire-based packaging experts National Flexible for help with the specialist film needed to manufacture their sachets of protein powders. The application called for a ‘muscle-bound’ film specification which would protect the highly
sensitive powder from light and moisture, whilst maintaining the lengthy shelf-life they needed. The laminate film was printed using a state-of- the art high-speed flexographic printing press, with National Flexible’s technical team being on hand throughout the whole process to make sure the film was exactly to specification - and CNP are delighted with the results. The new sachets are currently available on-line and from retail stockists throughout the UK. For more information call 01274 685566 or visit

Traditional imagery was again drawn upon. The bottle, shaped with a proud shoulder plinth, has been produced in a special dark, feuille mort feeder colour glass that features an aged surface effect.
