INDUSTRY NEWS All you need to know?
National Flexible, the Yorkshire-based flexible packaging specialist has continued to build on the success of its film training programmes with a series of in-house seminars for customers aimed at sharing their in-depth industry knowledge about the practical application of films in a range of packaging formats. “We noticed that there was a demand from our customers to have an insight about specific films, their properties and why they are used in particular applications,” said Andy Smith, National Flexible’s marketing manager. In light of this, National Flexible has developed a specialist free of charge training seminar tailored to the use of film packaging for food products and how films can extend shelf-life and improve presentation of the product on-shelf. “We’ve made the programme easy to understand and have included information about the most frequently used types of films along with their most common applications within the foods industry,” continued Andy. “We want to share this information with our customers so that they can benefit from having a supplier who can act as an extra resource for their business. The demand has been unprecedented, not only from our customers, but from our supermarket contacts too.” National Flexible have published a taster ‘Films Explained’ brochure which can be downloaded via their website with more in-depth information available through their training days.
