Manchester based ShinDigger approached Cepac, the UK independent corrugated packaging producer, to develop a shelf-ready, sustainable product for the brand’s 12 packs of 440ml cans which appeared in shops from late spring 2019. There is also an option for 330ml.
With environmental considerations to the fore, Shindiggers has replaced a tray and shrinkwrap combination with an innovative corrugated pack. The performance board construction utilises FSC certified liners, combined with a click and close design and two top flaps. The structure eliminates the need for additional tape or glue with the pack design strengthening the packaging for transit. Boxes have been designed for use on packaging lines with or without drying equipment and include moisture control ventilation features to protect the packed product.
George Grant, co-founder of ShinDigger said the new packaging would boost the brand’s growth and expansion while reducing impacts on the environment. The new design can be fully recycled and reduces the overall energy levels used in the packing process, as shrink tunnel heat is no longer required. Cutting down on pack assembly time has also promoted greater production efficiency and increased output for the brewing company.
