ProAmpac, a leader in sustainable packaging solutions, will present its latest fibre-based food-to-go packaging innovations at the LUNCH! 2024 trade show, taking place at ExCeL London from 18 to 19 September. Visitors are invited to stand L950 to explore a range of products, several of which have been shortlisted for the prestigious 2024 UK Packaging Awards.
The standout products on display include ProAmpac’s recyclable HandRAP packaging, which has been designed for both hot fold and chilled cabinet applications. HandRAP, a 2-in-1 film wrap combined with fibreboard, is also competing in the Innovation Challenge at the event. Attendees will have the opportunity to vote for it as a contender for this coveted award.
Graham Williams, Senior Vice President of RAP Products at ProAmpac, expressed pride in the company’s contributions to eco-friendly packaging. “At ProAmpac, we develop packaging solutions that help our customers meet their sustainability, functionality, and convenience goals. Our award-winning food-to-go packaging, developed through collaboration with our world-class partners, enhances freshness and presentation while offering recyclable, fibre-based options that support environmental responsibility,” said Williams.
Several ProAmpac products have been recognised for their innovative approach to packaging, with three being named finalists at this year’s UK Packaging Awards. These include:
- Starbucks Square Sandwich Pack (Finalist: Cartonboard Pack of the Year): A uniquely designed, fibre-based pack that is both recyclable and visually appealing. The packaging aims to elevate food presentation while prioritising sustainability, in line with Starbucks’ environmental goals.
- Greggs Flatbread Pack (Finalist: Consumer Convenience Award): Known for its portability, this pack is crafted from fibre-based materials, offering both convenience and durability for consumers on the go. Its practical design makes it a strong contender in the consumer convenience category.

Pret A Manger’s commitment to environmentally responsible packaging is highlighted through this innovative design.
ProAmpac’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond simply meeting environmental standards. By working closely with partners in the food-to-go sector, the company has developed packaging that enhances freshness and product presentation while also offering practical solutions for consumers.
HandRAP, one of the company’s newest innovations, represents the growing trend towards recyclable, sustainable packaging. The product has gained attention for its versatility, being suitable for both hot and cold food items, and its customisable features that cater to different customer needs.
