Labelling and compostable packaging experts Planglow have launched three new sandwich products plus a retro Christmas label too: The three piece Natural Value range provides an even lower cost natural alternative for wedge-cut sandwiches while the Festive Favourites label reintroduces a familiar face just in time for Christmas.

Economical and Ecological: Eco-Friendly Squared
Showcasing the same rustic finish as Planglow’s best-selling Natural kraft collection, the three-piece
Natural Value Range sports a little leaf motif to help differentiate between products: industrially compostable packs that are suitable for same day use, providing an economical, eco-friendly solution for short shelf life sandwiches. The range includes a deep-fill, a standard-fill and a mini wedge for bites both big and small.

Rachael Sawtell, Planglow’s marketing director commented, “Unlike the packs in our standard Natural Collection - which are fully lined with a special plant-based laminate - our Natural Value wedges are made from an un-lined clay coated board and introduce an industrially compostable patch window construction in place of one formed by the laminate. This further reduces the cost to providers seeking packaging options for short shelf life products: a Natural solution for same day sandwiches”.

In addition to the classic deep-fill wedge, the Natural Value Range includes a standard-fill wedge for slimmer sandwiches plus a mini wedge which holds half of a deep fill sandwich or one quarter of a triple decker sandwich. Providers may wish to use the mini and/ or standard-fill wedges for their children’s offering or partner with soups, salads and other snacks to increase add-on sales.

Festive Favourites
In the bleak midwinter this jolly trio will bring a retro festive feel to Christmas sandwiches and snacks. Featuring Santa, snowman and bauble designs (three of each on every sheet), these fun yet versatile labels have been developed to fit a wide range of packaging products. What’s more, every label comes with a bonus star sticker too to further highlight yuletide treats and make them shine.

Planglow first began trading in 1986 and as part of the company’s 30th birthday celebrations staff were asked which label they’d most like to see bought back. A range of designs were considered but the clear winner turned out to be a very familiar face indeed.

Planglow’s marketing director Rachael Sawtell explained, “Our Santa Label was a big seller in the early nineties and it turns out he’s been much missed by our team. We’ve given him a bit of a revamp and added some extra designs as well to create a really colourful ‘old school’ label that works with a wide variety of packaging items including our new Natural Value range”.

Festive Favourites can be paired with Planglow’s Plain Nutri Label to include nutri data on the back of products without detracting from the front of pack. The label is suitable for both laser and inkjet printers and may be overprinted with product information (including legislatively compliant nutri data), logos, marketing messages and more using Planglow’s LabelLogic software or award winning fully web-based labelling software LabelLogic Live which is the only cloud based labelling application on the market.

The Natural Value Range can be paired with Planglow’s Natural or Simply Natural labels to complete the Natural look or providers can choose from a wide range of colourful label designs – including Festive Favourites - for an alternative finish.
