Plastic-Free Blister Pack For Mitsubishi Pencil Wins Packaging Award

Leeds-based packaging company, Facer designed the plastic-free blister pack which was featured in the Top 10 Innovation Gallery at Packaging Innovations in Birmingham earlier this year.

Facer’s innovation of the Plastic-Free Blister Pack created in collaboration with Mitsubishi Pencil Company UK (who have the exclusive rights to this structural design in the UK) has been designed to eradicate single-use plastic, while keeping the fundamental packaging pros that a blister pack offers.

The specially designed packaging is still a heat seal solution. Combined with lithographic print and the choice of multiple print finishing techniques, it brings the brand and their products to life for ultimate shelf presence.

MD Luke Wilson described the experience: “It was humbling, as a first time exhibitor, to be selected to be featured in the Top 10 Innovation Gallery.” Luke went on to explain his pride in British manufacturing: “I was blown away by the British print industry, waving the flag for sustainable and creative-led innovation.”
