“Parkside has created a bespoke range of solutions that keeps our products fresher for longer and delivers stand-out, high-definition graphics.”

The new compostable packaging for Bird & Blend has been designed to deliver high performance while contributing to efforts to safeguard natural resources.

Parkside found that the packaging decomposed completely within 26 weeks and the materials returned to the soil without any harmful environmental impacts.

Parkside new business development manager Staci Bye said: “It was a privilege to be asked by Matt to work with the company once again.

“We were all thrilled with the success of the single-serve tea bag project and expanding the packaging across the wider range is a terrific endorsement of both our approach to design and creation and the high standard of packaging we produce.”

Last week, Parkside designed compostable packaging for health food wholesaler Mintons, featuring enhanced oxygen barrier technology designed to extend products’ shelf lives.

The pack will replace the non-recyclable plastic packaging currently used for Mintons’ healthy food range, which includes pulses, beans, cereals and dried fruits.
