Parkside aims to build on its portfolio of easy-open and reclosable packaging with the new laser investment
Speciality packaging solutions provider, Parkside, has invested in laser equipment to create new business opportunities.
Installed at the company’s Normanton facility in West Yorkshire, the new equipment is the second laser scribing machine to be based at the UK site and also creates a number of new employee roles at the company.
The new equipment can be used to create easy-open and reclose pack designs across a variety of packaging applications from flexible packaging to easy-peel vented lidding for ready meal packs.
Nick Smith, managing director, said, ‘Convenience is continuing to play an important role in shaping consumption trends. Added pack functionality is key to improving the modern on-the-go consumer experience. Our new laser capability will allow us to meet the needs of the modern consumer, as well as deliver stand out innovation for brands and retailers.’
Parkside has developed a number of easy-open and reclosable packaging designs in recent months and aims to build on its portfolio with the new laser investment.
