the sharing box is available in a 200g format, designed with Jacob’s bright orange packaging to ensure stand-out on shelf. The supplier claims Jacob’s Savoury Favourites taps into the seasonal trend of being together and aims to “help retailers generate their share of seasonal sales”. The move signifies the next step in the company’s mission towards substantially reducing its environmental impact by making all its packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025, and will save up to 600 tonnes of packaging from landfill every year.

Pladis has announced its 2020 savoury seasonal range under its two main brands, Jacob’s and Carr’s, to help retailers drive seasonal sales and encourage trade up. Last year, new outer packaging with reduced height and board grade allowed pladis to remove trucks from the road and reduce CO2 emissions by 127 tonnes per year. The cheese box will include Jacob’s Cheddars and Jacob’s Cream Crackers in a vintage-style tin, which is honour of the brand’s 160-year heritage. As one of the UK’s largest snacking manufacturers, we know that any positive changes we make to the sustainable credentials of our packaging have the potential to make a real impact.

Nothing says Christmas like a box of crackers and a cheese board, and this year we have several selection boxes from Jacob’s to satisfy key seasonal trends such as indulgence and being together,” Bull said. Earlier this year, pladis also announced a wave of new measures forming part of a long-term business objective to enhance the recyclability of packaging across the pladis portfolio. The new, recyclable Jacob’s Mini Cheddars and Jacob’s Cheeselets summer caddies are available now across major retailers, as well as in the wholesale and convenience channels.As part of this, last month, all pladis-produced problematic-to-recycle black plastic and PVDC film was removed from the UK market, saving 80 million plastic trays from landfill every year. The full range of festive caddies – including Jacob’s Mini Cheddars, Jacob’s Treeselets, Jacob’s Twiglets and Jacob’s Cracker Crisps – will be available from September. The range will be the headline sponsor for Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day 2020 and each product will be designed with a Christmas jumper. Available in a 250g format, Jacob’s Savours Flavour Assortment is a selection of premium savoury crackers to capitalise on snacking sales.
