SAINT PAUL, MINN.—Planglow USA, a leading provider of branded labels and compostable packaging to the “grab and go” foodservice industry, will be showcasing its products at the International Hotel, Motel + Restaurant Show (IHMRS) for the very first time (November 9 to 12 in New York City at the Javits Center). The company will feature two branded collections of compostable grab and go packaging, as well as the company’s labeling software—LabelLogic.
Planglow USA offers two branded collections of matching packaging and labeling: six piece premium-look Rosso range; and 15 piece Natural Collection. These include: sandwich wedges; tortilla wrap packs; windowed bags for baguettes, cookies and others bakery products; cups; soup containers; salad boxes; platter boxes; and carry-out bags.
The packaging is laminated with a plant-based bio laminate film lining to create a superior barrier, safeguard freshness and form the viewing windows. This film is fully certified to ASTM D6400 guidelines pertaining to compostable packaging. It is also certified as home compostable, indicating that the bio laminate biodegrades along with the rest of the paper-based packaging in a waste water environment and can be disposed of in a home compost heap.
Software Demonstrations Planned
Planglow USA will also be running live demonstrations of LabelLogic software which runs on a PC platform, utilizing a standard printer to overprint sheet labels. LabelLogic is a simple but effective program enabling labels to be quickly, stylishly, efficiently and compliantly, printed with a company logo. Labels from the Rosso and Natural Collections will be available as samples to take away and try.
Planglow has been the United Kingdom’s market-leading supplier of packaging and labeling for the catering industry for more than 25 years. While already serving the international market, in 2012 the company launched a dedicated U.S. operation. In less than two years Planglow USA has established a large customer base across a diverse range of sectors—from independent coffee shops and delis to major universities, high profile private clubs, resorts and lodging. A supplier to the Marriott, Hyatt and Hilton groups, Planglow USA hopes to further grow its leisure and lodgings division by attracting new customers at IHMRS.
“I am delighted to be bringing Planglow USA’s unique eco offering and pioneering labeling software to the International Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Show,” says Rick Nelson, director of product development for Planglow USA. “The Planglow USA team looks forward to meeting with businesses to improve their eco offering and streamline their foodservice operations overall.”
Planglow USA will be at booth No. 2779 at IHMRS.
