In-house packaging

Packaging that fits the product

We produce a range of packaging for our various lines of products.

Significant investment in our manufacturing site has encouraged innovation and creativity in both our product and our packaging ranges. Browns Food Group adds in-group packaging, design and marketing support.

To confirm with FoodPro: Packaging formats offered (tray types, compartments, film lids, sleeves), and whether customers can bring their own artwork and formats.

Using less

96 trucks

a year taken off the roads by moving to shrink wrap

Moving from traditional cardboard packaging to new-style shrink wrap uses less packaging and saves storage space, which reduces our carbon footprint from vehicle emissions.

In May 2025 we announced a new cook and cool system that will end the use of single-use plastic bags on site and further reduce water use, in line with Browns Food Group's environmental policies.
