Off the shelf, or off the wall

Our technical and practical knowledge in both food and non food markets covers most types of materials, trays, film and packaging machinery.

At the risk of blowing our own trumpet, there isn’t a lot we don’t know about what works with what, taking you through every step from concept, design and materials through to print, packing machinery and filling.

If you want to develop something quirky or radical to appeal to consumers, RPS offers bags of originality for new products or features.

Back to basics

For food, we can advise on and supply stretch wrap, shrink wrap, base web, anti-fogging film and oven-ready packaging for the most cost-effective and appealing results. So, if for instance you’re looking for a ready meal solution that doesn’t leak and can be popped straight in the oven or microwave, a smooth-walled foil tray is just the job.

Complex lidding made easy

We can advise on the specific barrier property of the complex lidding film your product requires. We’ll also ensure the film is a match for your current tray or specify a more suitable base material.

Let’s get ethical

The industry is fast waking up to the headache of packaging waste disposal and how to go easy on our planet. In touch with new technology, we’re on hand with the latest eco-friendly innovations like compostable plastics and even recycled materials that can be recycled again, and again.

Matching materials with machines

From banding machines and label applicators to tray sealers or complex thermoformers, RPS advises, re-develops and commissions specifications with established machinery partners. We’ll ensure your equipment and the packaging solution we recommend for it works perfectly together. So if you’re stuck with a system or materials you’re not happy with, we’ll find a better way.
