UK-based Ravenwood Packaging has introduced what it says is the UK\u2019s first linerless 3\u00d72 (six-pack) apple pack format, created for Kissabel Naturally Red-Fleshed Apples.<\/p>\n

The new format has been brought to market in partnership with ProPrint Group and uses a linerless fruit lid produced on Ravenwood\u2019s Com500 Coater.<\/p>\n

Application is carried out on the Nobac 5000L Fresh Produce Linerless Applicator.<\/p>\n

This development builds on an earlier linerless 2\u00d72 pack format designed for Sassy apples, which was supplied to Mansfield, the owner of the Kissabel brand.<\/p>\n

The latest 3\u00d72 configuration has been developed specifically for Kissabel Rouge, which entered UK retail on 2 December.<\/p>\n

The pack combines a linerless lid with a cartonboard tray, with all components described as suitable for kerbside recycling.<\/p>\n

The six-pack follows on from a previous four-pack layout.<\/p>\n

ProPrint Group collaborated with Worldwide Fruit, the Kissabel design team and Smurfit Westrock in designing and developing the linerless lid and tray.<\/p>\n

ProPrint Group is a Ravenwood-approved printer of linerless labels.<\/p>\n

Ravenwood stated that two trials were carried out at its own facilities ahead of full production, and that the first commercial run took place seven working days after artwork sign-off.<\/p>\n

The Nobac 5000L was used to apply the linerless lids at high speed, with the company highlighting consistent placement and waste reductions linked to the linerless format.<\/p>\n

The launch extends earlier projects in linerless apple packaging using Ravenwood\u2019s machinery and systems, and sits within a broader shift in fresh produce towards plastic-free, kerbside-recyclable pack formats.<\/p>\n

Ravenwood Packaging UK sales manager Jan Rees said: \u201cThe Kissabel project is a perfect example of how linerless packaging technology can elevate premium fresh produce.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nobac 5000L was developed to give packers both efficiency and flexibility and it\u2019s great to see it helping our partners bring a UK-first format to market.\u201d<\/p>\n
