Marks & Spencer has an enviable reputation for consistently offering a superb quality of fresh produce and other foods across its vast network of stores. The iconic brand was looking for a more sustainably-aware packaging solution for its organic range of bananas – one that would offer a significant reduction in plastic and not detract from the wonderful freshness and vibrancy of the produce itself.
This central environmental consideration also needed to be given particular prominence given the organic nature of the product range. Lastly, the revised banana packaging needed to effortlessly convey M&S’s branding and visual identity.
When offering a significant change from an existing packaging design, it’s important to establish a number of well-defined, data-driven improvements, the effects of which can be accurately measured. The re-designed banana band packaging solution offers an array of such quantifiable improvements. For example, the streamlined design offers as much as a 75% reduction in packaging weight alone. The packaging also offered the benefits of a cost-neutral final price, no specialist machinery being required for packaging at-source, and a self-wound product which results in no plastic backing to fill the non-recyclable plastic bins. This also helps to ensure there is also no additional impact on labour costs.

Westpak’s real expertise is in creating diverse packaging solutions using experience, creativity and product development.
