Top labelling and eco packaging provider Planglow has got pots of new cups and lots of new pots too.

A trio of cups and two sizes (12oz and 16oz) of pots have joined Planglow’s slate-look Gastro Collection, extending the deli-style branding of the popular range to drinks, soups, stews and other liquid-based foods – hot and cold.

Planglow’s best-selling Natural Collection has been expanded too and now includes a 16oz Natural Pot as well, which sits alongside the much in demand 12oz version in the same range.

Rachael Sawtell, marketing director for Planglow, commented: “We developed Gastro’s slate look to echo the use of this material in premium delicatessen’s and fine dining presentations. We anticipated its strong design would be popular, but it’s gone above and beyond our expectations. We identified a need for cups and pots in the collection too at the end of last year, so we are pleased we can now support providers in further extending the gastro brand to liquid products as well as sandwiches, wraps, baked goods, salads and snacks." 

Planglow launched the first of its pot products, a 12oz Natural Pot, last summer. The larger sized 16oz pot further compliments the extensive Natural range of rustic packaging and labels. It sports the same kraft finish as the rest of the collection and, like the Gastro Pots and Cups, is suitable for a whole range of produce from ice cream to curries, and is industrially compostable too.    

All pots in the Natural and Gastro Collections come with a choice of two lid options. The 12/16oz Pot Lid - which is made from a recyclable (PS) plastic; and the 12/16oz Bio Pot Lid. This is made from a corn based material that is also certified EN13432 (the European standard for compostability). And unlike other compostable container lid products, the Bio Pot Lid can be used with piping hot food without warping, cracking or melting.    

Planglow only use compostable and biodegradable materials and all of Planglow’s suppliers are commissioned for their own pro-active environmental best practice. The board and PLA come from international sources that fully manage sustainable and renewable plantations.
