Eco Flexibles Wins Solutions Award

The win follows Eco Flexibles’ support on delivering over 150 new SKUs for Whitworths and customer, Holland & Barrett. Resulting in a fully recyclable monopolymer structure, the project was notable for tight turnaround lead times, a high quantity of product SKUs and comprehensive Eco Flexibles support from artwork creation and platemaking, through to film production and delivery.
