The skill, passion, and commitment that Parkside\u2019s people bring to work every day ensures our company continues to go from strength to strength even in the face of the many challenges facing the print and packaging sector at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSustainability and technical innovation are two foundational values of our company, so to win awards in both of these categories is particularly special for us. We hope this proves that flexible packaging can be the high performance, desirable, and sustainable solution that the market demands, and that a commitment to innovation and quality will always deliver results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Gold-winning prize, a collaboration with frozen food supermarket giant Iceland, attracted significant interest on its release as one of the first successful applications of paper packaging in the frozen food sector. The heat-sealable pack, which was designed completely plastic-free, was precision-engineered using a range of water-based barrier coatings to resist below-zero temperatures and high levels of moisture for prolonged periods.<\/p>\n<p>The awards were presented at the annual FIA<sup>UK<\/sup>\u00a0awards dinner in front of 450 of the industry\u2019s leading professionals from the UK\u2019s biggest flexo, packaging, and label companies.
