Innavisions

Our new sister company adds broad scope to our offering

Innavisions is a specialist provider of food packaging aimed at the manufacturing and prepared aspects of the food industry. It’s greatest strength is the broad base of manufacturing partners that it can bring to bear on any project. Providing bespoke solutions for some of the biggest brands.

Injection moulding and in particular In Mould Labelling (IML) are where it leads the category. This advance provides high clarity labelling in a mono material and as a result the items are fully recyclable with no need for label and container seperation.

In Mould Labelling (IML)

The process involves placing a polypropylene (PP) label inside the mould before the liquid PP is injected.

Under pressure, the injected PP solidifies to incorporate the label.

On release from the mould the pot is now a single piece of PP ready for use in food manufacturing.

When the consumer is ready to dispose of the pot, as it is a single piece of PP, it can be recycled in its entirety.

Benefits of Polypropylene

Whether injection moulded or thermoformed, items made of PP have a number of benefits

  • They can be hot filled
  • They can be microwaved
  • They are suitable for freezing
  • They can be film sealed
  • They are fully recyclable

The injection moulded items are more robust and generally a slightly heavier gauge. In addition they have smooth, straight walls, whereas thermoformed trays have ridges for added strength.

Both have lid options and they are all BRCGS / IOP accredited at manufacture.

Established in 1999, we are a small team with over 100 years of collective experience in creating and delivering innovative plastic and paper packaging. Our product range includes plastic containers, plastic trays, injection-moulded and thermoformed containers, microwaveable trays, and paper food containers. We specialise in injection-moulded, tamper-evident food packaging, which can be sealed with tamper-evident lids or film-sealed, with or without in-mould labelling (IML).

In 2023, we were acquired by HL Hutchinson Ltd, and in January 2025, we joined our sister company, Produce Packaging, as a fully integrated division of HL Hutchinson Ltd. While retaining our individual identity, location, and team, we have expanded our services to include a ‘stock and serve’ delivery option from our UK warehousing facilities in Kent, Lincolnshire, and Angus, Scotland, using our own fleet of vehicles.

Innavisions is the exclusive UK sales and product development partner for three leading European plastic packaging manufacturers. Together, these manufacturers offer the UK’s widest range of standard injection-moulded food packaging. Our UK sales office provides customers with a single point of contact, ensuring you receive the right product, on time and in full. Shipping and invoicing can be arranged either directly through the manufacturer or via HL Hutchinson Ltd T/A Innavisions, allowing us to offer the best possible solution for each customer at the most competitive price—combining the best of both worlds.

Innavisions also works closely with manufacturers to develop new and innovative bespoke packaging solutions, many of which can be seen on UK supermarket shelves. As the UK’s leading plastic packaging supplier, we collaborate with our European partners to provide customers with the best packaging options to suit their specific needs.
