In competitive retail environments, packaging plays a significant role in attracting customers. For retail businesses such as farm shops promoting artisan or premium goods, packaging must reflect the quality and authenticity of the product. However, many off-the-shelf options lack the sophistication or customisation needed to enhance branding. Striking the right balance between visual appeal and practicality can be a challenge, but we strive to offer products that show of your food in the best possible light.
Products like fresh cuts, deli meats, and frozen items require packaging that can endure cold storage or freezing without becoming brittle, warping, or losing its seal. Improperly designed packaging may lead to freezer burn or condensation, which can affect product quality. Additionally, labels on temperature-sensitive packaging must remain intact and legible in chilled environments.
Many of our products, such as our microwave containers and food labels are specifically designed to withstand freezer storage, so you can be confident your produce looks good no matter what the storage conditions.
Packaging must be strong enough to handle a variety of foods without leaking or breaking. Leaks can lead to contamination, unpleasant odours, and dissatisfied customers. Additionally, poor-quality packaging that fails to withstand handling during transport or storage can damage the product and tarnish the shop’s reputation.
At GM Packaging we pride ourselves on finding the balance between durability and affordability. We offer high-performance solutions from greaseproof coatings to ribbed paper bags at prices that won't break the bank.
