Apopping good solution
Popcorn lovers can now indulge themselves with a savoury pre- packed version of their favourite snack thanks to the efforts of film packaging specialists - National Flexible. Artisan producers, Consett Popcorn, were in need of packaging film for the launch of their new retail range of flavoured popcorn. Wanting a contemporary look that would stand out from the competition and help drive new sales, they turned to National Flexible, who were able to produce the film they needed to run on their VFFS packing machinery. The packs benefit from Kodak’s high-definition flexo print technology – NX Flexcel – which was used to reproduce the artwork for the new range. National Flexible’s print team were able to use the system to reduce the number of colours to a bare minimum – saving Consett Popcorn a significant amount against what would have been an expensive investment in origination fees.
