British coffee roaster Purssells London has turned to flexible packaging group Uni Packaging for the pouches for its range of speciality blends.
The new brand offers six distinct roasts as part of its “off-the-shelf” range, as well as a bespoke service that can craft each coffee to a customer’s specific requirement – from roast, grind and brew to tasting notes and price point.
Following trials, Uni Packaging was chosen to supply Purssells’ pouches from a PE/aluminium laminate. Incorporating a tear notch, re-close zipper and venting valve, the pouches are digitally printed using Uni Packaging’s digital print offering, Digiflex.
With low origination costs and the ability of the digital press to print various designs consecutively with no additional setup, digital print is the ideal solution for Purssells’ short run requirements, Uni Packaging claimed.
The project has provided Uni Packaging with follow-on pouch orders, in part due to the popularity of Purssells’ Queen’s Indian blend.
“This is a success story about a large multi-national manufacturing group assisting a UK start-up to find a practical packaging solution – including materials, print options, pack format and a venting valve – and thereafter providing added-value to their supply chain through ongoing support, advice and quality of product,” said Uni Packaging’s Mike Davison.
Purssells founder Chris Jennings added: “I was after a packaging partner that could provide a professional presentation of my brand, accommodate the expected low-volume requirements of a micro-company, whilst maintaining flexibility and attention to detail to ensure product differentiation. In fulfilling this aim, Uni Packaging has delivered on all counts, supplying a high quality product whilst maintaining a highly efficient service.”
