UK packaging maker Cepac has completed a phase of its £20m three-year investment plan, adding corrugating capacity and equipment for its Flutepac food packaging at its Darlington site.

Cepac Group completed the acquisition of a majority shareholding in EW Cartons Ltd, a microflute corrugated food tray maker in Altham, Lancashire, which is being rebranded as Flutepac. The previous owner remains a shareholder and General Manager.

Packaging supplier Cepac partnered with UK craft brewer ShinDigger Brewing Co to create sustainable corrugated packaging for its full range of 12-pack beer cans. The new packs replaced a tray and shrinkwrap combination and appeared in shops from late spring 2019.

Cepac developed a shelf-ready, recyclable corrugated pack replacing tray and shrinkwrap for ShinDigger Brewing's 12-pack 440ml cans, which reached shops from late spring 2019. The design removes shrink tunnel heat requirements and speeds pack assembly.

Cepac completed a £2 million expansion of its Rawcliffe site in East Yorkshire, increasing site capacity by more than 20 per cent. The works add equipment for stitched UN-approved boxes for hazardous goods.
