MM Packaging Deeside is excited to return to Packaging Innovations and Empack, showcasing its diverse range of board and paper solutions tailored for key sectors such as food and drink packaging—specifically confectionery, chilled and frozen foods, beverages, and fresh produce. Their custom designs are available in various formats, including cartons, wraps, and clips.
This year, the company will demonstrate its extensive expertise in cartonboard at the UK’s premier packaging exhibition, taking place from 11-12 February at Birmingham’s NEC. Attendees can also explore new developments from the MM Group, featuring innovations in moulded pulp designs and micro flute technology.
“We are focusing on our bread and butter this year, namely our core range of sustainable cartonboard packaging products,” stated Julian Freeman, managing director at MM Packaging Deeside. “Following a successful debut at the show in 2025, our goal for 2026 is to demonstrate that we can do more than just standard cartons. As innovators in food and drink sustainable packaging, we are prepared to assist brands and retailers in reducing plastic usage, especially as new legislation gains momentum.”
The MM Packaging Deeside team will be available to discuss tailored designs and showcase examples of their work. A catalogue of concepts will illustrate the extensive variety of shapes, sizes, and options available. This includes cartonboard solutions for beverages, plastic-replacement concepts for various markets, and cutting-edge cartons for the confectionery sector.
Additionally, the stand will feature MM Packaging’s GreenPeel, an eco-friendly tray solution designed to replace rigid plastic formats in chilled food, fresh protein, and ready meal markets. This lightweight, fiber-based construction utilizes up to 90 percent less plastic and boasts a durable design with a continuous rim, ensuring seamless integration into standard packaging and sealing workflows.
“We are bespoke cartonboard packaging manufacturers and designers, ready to meet the requirements of the market,” added Julian. “At Packaging Innovations and Empack, we will showcase our knowledge and experience in advancing the latest sustainable cartonboard innovations.”
