i2r launches tulip muffin and greaseproof papers for the bakery industry
The aluminium foil tray manufacturer wants to be a one-stop-shop for aluminium foil containers and FSC accredited tulip paper products, which can be branded and personalized.
The tulip muffin wraps, which come in a range of colours and print options, were launched at the Farm Shop and Deli Show at the NEC, in Birmingham, this week (April 18-20).
Guy Rowledge, business development manager, i2r, told BakeryandSnacks, the company wants to challenge traditional market constraints and become a single go-to resource for both aluminium and paper packaging.
“We have seen an increase in demand for food-to-go and branded, personalised paper so we wanted to expand our bakery offering to customers,” he said.
“Thanks to our production capability we can supply tulip muffin wraps as well as greaseproof papers direct from a UK manufacturer.”
i2r is based in Telford, UK and is part of the Italian Laminazione Sottile Group. It manufactures wrinkle wall and smooth wall semi-rigid aluminium foil containers for the food industry.
