In the food industry, and especially in produce, lidding film (or top seal) has become a primary flexible packaging choice. Not only does it provide extra benefits for customers, but it creates opportunities for brands to elevate their product as well. So, what are the benefits of lidding film? Convenience

The way we connect with people and products has changed significantly in the last six months, with contactless solutions becoming mandatory for everyday activities, from connecting with friends or family to grocery shopping.

The world has changed in the last six months. The present global pandemic has pushed us into even more of a virtual world, with consumers relying heavily on the internet to keep entertained, to connect with their family and friends, and to make their frequent purchases. 

Continuing on from our terminology guide series earlier this year, our last installment is for stick packs! Ideal for single-use packaging, stick packs are extremely popular for travel-friendly products, products that require extended shelf-life and freshness, and packaging dosages in the pharmaceutical or nutraceutical industry.

At Associated, we are a full-service facility in more ways than one. In addition to offering every service needed to create a complete packaging solution from start to finish, we also have a custom equipment division!

We understand the importance of executing your packaging solution in your exact vision, and colour plays a huge role in that. When a hue or a shade isn't quite right, it may alter the entire visual impact of your packaging, so we want to share some insight on how we make sure your finished packaging matches your original art file.

As we've spoken about before, Associated is committed to embracing sustainable solutions wherever possible, whether through our packaging offerings or in day-to-day operations at our facility.
