Parkside hits it for six with string of award nominations

Packaging Solutions

Flexible packaging solutions specialist Parkside has celebrated a remarkable September that saw it nominated for six awards in quick succession.

Parkside solutions were nominated in several categories within industry awards including a ‘best new concept’ nomination for its Popflex easy open lidding film, a ‘consumer convenience award’ for a recyclable paper flow wrap pack developed for chocolatiers Cox & Co, and a ‘limited edition award’ for its compostable crisp packet, developed for Smug Crisps as part of the #OpenUp mental health campaign.

Its solution for Cox & Co also earned another nomination for ‘flexible packaging (narrow/medium web) on paper’. Meanwhile, its innovative compostable coffee bag for Dark Woods Coffee is up for a ‘packaging innovation’ prize at the World Coffee Innovation Awards.

Aside from these product based awards, the company’s business process nomination means it will be at the Stationers’ Innovation Excellence Awards for the second successive year after it won the product design award in 2023.

‘To achieve six nominations across a number of our products, including one company award, is a testament to the hard work and commitment to excellence shared by the whole Parkside team,’ said a delighted Dr Joshua Swann, group technical director. ‘Whatever the application requires, we will go the extra mile to develop bespoke innovations to ensure we meet all of our customers’ needs.

‘While customer satisfaction is our ultimate goal, it is a nice bonus to receive recognition from our peers and colleagues in the print and packaging sectors.’

The raft of nominations comes as Parkside continues to grow from strength to strength in both its European and Asian operations following a global management restructure at the beginning of the year.

‘We look forward to using this success as a launching pad to reach even greater heights for our customers as we continue to deliver on their packaging goals,’ added Joshua. ‘It is exciting for us to have so many awards ceremonies in the calendar – but it is our customers who should be really excited about what is coming next.’
