More Commitment to Recycling
Herbert Walkers have joined the BPIF Packaging to Recycling scheme illustrating our commitment to recycling and the promotion of sustainable cartonboard packaging.
No More Foil to Landfill!
Herbert Walkers are delighted to announce that we have achieved zero foil to landfill status for all of our foil waste. The scheme is sponsored by the BPIF and managed by our partners Prismm Environmental and ensures that all of our foil waste that previously went to landfill is now recycled for energy production.
Packaging Innovations 2018
Herbert Walkers once again showcased their luxury packaging range at Packaging Innovations 2018. With plenty of samples of BRC food grade packaging, foiled and embossed boxes for luxury brands alongside many other samples of cosmetics and confectionery packaging.
Steve Holme, Commercial Director commented, “Visitors are always looking for innovative ways to package their products so our range of special finishes were once again a hit at the show. They were keen to learn about the in-house special finishes we offer, in particular foiling, embossing and print over foil. Retail packaging nowadays has to be practical but have real shelf appeal and we are one of the few UK providers who have the ability to control the whole process in house.
Hotel Chocolat renews packaging contract
Hotel Chocolat has renewed the contract with Herbert Walkers Ltd, to produce their core packaging for the next two years. Herbert Walkers will be producing packaging for the popular Sleekster cartons and the H Box range.
These two formats are available all year around and are also used for seasonal products. Herbert Walkers is ideally suited to producing high volume premium packaging requiring special finishes having an extensive print and in-house finishing operation. This in-house capability means that Herbert Walkers control the whole production process from design to shelf. The process is therefore quicker (than involving several suppliers) and is more flexible.
But why Herbert Walkers Ltd?
Steve Holme, Commercial Director at Herbert Walkers explains why they are a good choice for high end retailers looking to differentiate their product lines. “Regarding in-house finishing we have more expertise, superior capabilities and greater capacity compared to any other packaging company in the UK. This means we can push the boundaries with embossing and foiling and produce some outstanding finishes for our clients’ packaging – enhancing their brand presence and making them stand out on the shelf”.
“Our extensive in-house capability is attractive to clients who want to trial new ideas. We regularly hold Innovation Days for clients to make use of our in-house die making facility.”
The Sleekster and H Box products are available at Hotel Chocolat stores throughout the UK and can also be bought on line at http://www.hotelchocolat.com
