With its optimised design and custom branding options, Sabert and Colpac’s Stagione range helps retailers to maximise space, showcase food, and drive sales.

The UK retail food-to-go sector is one of the most dynamic areas of the grocery market, fuelled by changing shopper behaviours and continued demand for quick, high-quality meals. Shops and supermarkets are competing to capture a share of this growing category, which IGD forecasts will reach £23 billion this year. Retailers therefore face the challenge of delivering products that stand out on increasingly crowded shelves.

Sabert and Colpac’s Stagione range helps retailers to differentiate, offering high quality, versatile packaging that attracts convenience-driven consumers.

Elevate Your Brand Through Customisation

In the competitive retail food-to-go market, strong branding is a crucial driver of consumer choice. Sabert and Colpac support customers by offering custom printing and bespoke sizes across the Stagione range, helping retailers and foodservice operators to elevate their presence.

“It’s becoming increasingly difficult to stand out in the retail marketplace. Printing our Stagione range gives retailers opportunities to communicate provenance and elevate their brand, using our tried and tested packaging range as a base,” says Andrew Grimbaldeston, European sales director at Sabert and Colpac.

With eye-catching designs, retailers can create on-shelf impact and reinforce brand loyalty. Stagione has been successfully adapted for multiple retailers through custom food packaging solutions that include full pack branding, complementary sleeves, specifically sourced materials, and modified sizing to suit specific foods.

Stagione can be produced in custom colours, sizes, and can have your bespoke designs applied to elevate brands across the retail sector.

Versatility across the retail market

Stagione is already a trusted choice in the retail marketplace, with customers using the range to showcase menu items such as salads, pasta, hot meals, and desserts. Its quality and adaptability means operators can package multiple food types within the same style of pack, creating consistency across their ranges and simplifying packaging inventory.

Sabert & Colpac’s Stagione range is suitable for a variety of dishes across retail menus.

“We are now operating with a tiered Stagione range which offers huge versatility for chilled and ovenable categories. With Stagione^®, retailers can access high quality, food safe packaging which can be printed and adapted to suit individual brand needs, all supported by locally held stocks. Our sales team can help you to choose the Stagione product and solution that is best suited to your needs and consumers,” adds Grimbaldeston.

Instead of juggling multiple packaging formats, retailers get reliability and efficiency as Stagione provides a cohesive range that works across hot, chilled and ambient categories.

Optimising Space and Efficiency

Retail shelf space is at a premium, and Stagione’s design enables products to be stacked neatly and securely. The sturdy structure of the packs means they hold their shape during in-line filling, lidding and sealing, transit and handling, and still look enticing on display, optimising efficiency at each of these stages. Well-presented food gives a stronger visual impact to appeal to busy consumers that want to choose a product on-the-go.

“Stagione helps our customers to make the most of every inch of space on shelf, and throughout the retail supply chain,” Grimbaldeston concludes.

Stagione is stackable and space efficient to optimise retail shelf space.

To support diverse menus across hot and chilled food-to-go and the increasing importance of delivery, Stagione offers retailers versatility and reliability in the presentation of their food and their brand.
