The trays make great collector items, with a wide range of designs available from alluring geometric prints to intricate flora and fauna. For more information email

BONNINGTON PLASTICS SET TO REVOLUTIONISE THE MARKET
Bonnington Plastics Kingfisher has announced the launch of “the most competitively priced range of calendars, posters and greeting cards,” following the acquisition of the core team from UK publisher Cubik365. Ian Fisher, owner of Bonnington Plastics Ltd commented: “I have never been so excited about a new product range in all my time in business. I am looking at a market sector that appears to lack structure and charges such ridiculous prices. We are going to
transform the market within a year.” Kingfisher is also launching its new range of Halloween products from its Big Reaper brand and its new extensive line of Christmas products. After a successful Spring Fair, the rest of 2011 looks set to be an exciting year for the Bonnington Plastics Kingfisher Team. For more information call 0115 9854119, email
