UK-based packaging solutions provider Robinson has developed sustainable packaging for chocolate manufacturer Holdsworth’s Easter chocolate gifts.

Robinson has manufactured two limited edition Easter boxes for Holdsworth’s candy egg and Easter bunny treat bag.

The packaging is made entirely of post-consumer recycled paperboard and is fully recyclable. The front viewing pane is made from recycled UK water bottles, lending an environmentally friendly appeal.

The sustainable packaging is printed in six colours and finished with foil blocking to offer a luxurious touch.

Holdsworth Chocolates managing director David Sharples said: “Whenever we produce packaging, including for special celebrations such as Easter, we aim to make sure all the materials we use are sustainable and can be recycled.

“Sustainable packaging is a collective goal for both Robinson and Holdsworth.

“Our brand was developed on a passion for creating beautiful hand-crafted chocolates, using the finest of everything, that’s why it is so important that we invest in high quality sustainable packaging that reflects our values too.”

Robinson produced a customised solution  to meet Holdsworth’s needs as the Easter packaging was only needed in small quantities.

Robinson new product development director Jon Walker said: “Producing high quality, creative, engaging packaging for brands and retailers at an affordable price is key.

“Being an independent company means that we can be flexible to the needs of Holdsworth. We turned around production from design to delivery in just 3-4 weeks.”

In February 2021, Robinson acquired Danish company Schela Plast to strengthen its position in the UK and Eastern Europe.
