21/02/2011 Roberts Mart and Co Ltd
As the market for frozen and chilled foods has grown over the years so has the need for printed flexible packaging that can withstand deep freeze temperatures, maintain integrity of the product and enhance brand identity.Flexible packaging is space saving, cost effective, lightweight and can offer environmental benefits as well as provide innovative packaging solutions to help improve product delivery and cope with the variations in temperatures when items are moved in and out of cold storage.
Leading flexible print and packaging manufacturer Roberts Mart & Co. Ltd has been servicing this sector for as long as frozen cabinets and chilled shelves have been installed in supermarkets. The company understands the needs of frozen and chilled food companies and has recently added a leading seafood processor to its growing client base.
Sealord Caistor Ltd in Market Rasen, the UK arm of renowned global seafood processor Sealord™ New Zealand, opted for Roberts Mart's printed flexible packaging expertise to ensure the high quality and low cost of flow-wrapping the six-portion packs of frozen Coley it supplies to a major high street supermarket.
Roberts Mart's packaging materials provide the top quality performance in extreme temperatures needed by Sealord™. They offer mechanical resistance, sturdiness, and an ability to maintain integrity through a variety of filling, sealing and transportation processes.
Sealord's™ Packaging and Ingredients Stock Controller, Steve Clifford, said: "The service we have received from Roberts Mart has been outstanding. I was particularly impressed with their knowledge of our industry, the quality of the product and speed of turnaround. I would certainly recommend them "
Roberts Mart is renowned for its fast turnaround times and has invested heavily in the new technology required to help frozen food manufacturers get the most out of their printed flexible packaging.
The family-run company's printed flexible packaging is ideal for fish and a variety of other frozen foods, including chicken pieces, meat products and frozen vegetables, which can still remain fresh after months in the freezer. Other key factors are the materials' versatility and cost-effectiveness, as well as being quicker to pack and easier to store.
Roberts Mart offers high performance films for the frozen and chilled food sector which deliver the full operational characteristics that are sought in terms of clarity, gloss and strength, whilst minimising gauge. It is also able to print in 10 colours, whereas most other suppliers can manage eight maximum.
