High-quality packaging reliably protects meals and drinks, helps preserve their taste, aroma, and consistency, increases food’s shelf life, and attracts customers’ attention. And therefore, for a successful sale, the packaging is sometimes given no less attention than the main product.

Packaging solutions for food retail
Retail food packaging

What packaging solutions for food retail do we offer in the UK?

Cartons

Such boxes are usually made from recycled materials such as cardboard and kraft paper. This packaging is designed for light or fragile food and has a special coating, which makes it stronger. Cardboard boxes and trays are easy to assemble and store.

Environmentally friendly packaging

Recently, retailers are increasingly choosing eco-friendly packaging materials, trying to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Retail food containers are made from raw materials that can be processed and recycled.

Paper cups

This packaging is created from kraft paper or biodegradable materials and has a special substrate on the bottom that prevents the leakage. Paper disposable coffee cups are single- and double-walled, and after use they can be recycled or composted.

    Why it is important to create custom retail packaging?

    Proper custom retail packaging of the product is a real art designed to increase buyers’ interest in your product. Branded packaging will spread information about your business without unnecessary advertising costs and will help attract clients’ attention.

    Univest’s experts use innovative packaging customization technologies: flexography and offset printing, hot stamping, and UV varnishing, depending on the customer’s wishes. A logo combined with an eye-catching pattern or 3D image will make your delivery unique and memorable.

    Branding tips:

    • Invest in an unpacking experience

    The development of video blogs has created a new trend — the unpacking experience. Influencers share the joys of shopping with their audience, filming themselves when they open boxes from the store. If your packaging is stylish and attractive, it can be your best advertisement.

    • Place promo codes or loyalty programs on retail food packaging with QR technology

    This method encourages repeated purchases and strengthens customer loyalty. Placing an offer on the customised food packaging is a great way to attract buyers and encourage them to share their experiences on social networks. Placing promo codes and QR codes on the packaging is a reward to customers for their loyalty. And it strengthens the customer-brand relationship.
