The Sherwood Group returns to the Packaging Innovations show at NEC, Birmingham to promote Puracoat®– a sustainable alternative to plastic and PE-lined food barrier packaging.
With consumer concerns over single-use plastics and the recent introduction of a new tax on plastic packaging by the UK Government, the demand for The Sherwood Group’s water-based moisture and grease resistant barrier coating, Puracoat®, has never been higher.
Accredited ‘on-the-go’ food packaging
Relaunched at the Packaging Innovations show in 2018, with a tested accreditation from a third party industry, Puracoat® received great interest from a variety of visitors and a high number of enquires on live projects, particularly for on-the-go food packaging.
Visit us on stand J32 to see how we can help you remove plastic from your food packaging.
