LINPAC Press Release: LINPAC to exhibit new Freshware Range at Future of Convenience Show

Retailers and suppliers attending Future of Convenience 2013 can see the latest innovations for the sector from Europe’s leading multi-material packaging manufacturer, LINPAC Packaging.

The food packaging company launched its Freshware range for the chilled retail prepared and convenience market at the beginning of the year – the first time LINPAC had stepped into a new sector - and has been adding to its portfolio ever since.

Future of Convenience takes place over five days from 23-27 September. The event offers a combination of retail study tours in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, London and Dublin, two conference and exhibition days at the British Library in central London and the annual international convenience retail awards dinner. Retailers have the chance to discuss products and services and ways to improve efficiency, grow sales and add to the bottom line.

LINPAC will be hosting Stand 8 in Room 1 on Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 September. Visitors will be able to take a closer look at products including Vertiwrap®, a hinged box which stands vertically on the shelf for wraps and tortillas; LeanBake, individual and twin portion sized packs for cakes, pastries and biscuits; Pyramid Packs and the Bol Collection for salads and fruits and deli foods such as cous cous, coleslaw and pasta; and Vertifresh®, another pack which stands vertically on the shelf enabling shoppers to easily see the contents inside. The packs, which are ideal for salads and snacks, come with multiple clip-in topping trays that segregate toppings, dressings and protein/pasta options to ensure the meal stays fresher and looks appetising for longer.

The Freshware range has been developed in response to the growing popularity of food ‘on the go’ and consumer demand for healthier and smaller food portions. As a partner of the Love Food Hate Waste campaign by WRAP, LINPAC Packaging is committed to helping all the links in the supply chain minimise the amount of food which is wasted by developing packaging which meets the needs of changing consumer trends and effectively protects and preserves fresh food for longer.

Insight’s Future of Convenience is a popular strategic industry event for senior convenience and petroleum retailers and suppliers. Over the past 14 years the event has brought retailers and suppliers from more than 23 countries in Europe and around the world together.
