SIRANE launched a fully recyclable cake-board to the market last year – and we then added custom printed cake-boards to the recyclable offering – whether it is for Easter or Valentine’s Day, Christmas or Hallowe’en, they offer real impact. Traditional cake-boards are either foil-backed or lined with plastic to give the required grease/moisture barrier – but Sirane developed a cost-effective alternative. And those boards can be custom printed with anything… Our new Earthboard Eco cake-boards are barrier-coated boards. The eco-friendly water-based coating gives the boards the required grease/moisture barrier – but crucially the board can easily be recycled in the paper/board recycling stream. And now those recyclable cake-boards can be offered with custom printing – whether it’s corporate colours, fun designs (birthdays, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Hallowe’en etc) or something else you need. Ross Griffin, director of board products, said: “Recent stats show that in the UK alone we spend £368m a year on cakes. Many of these will use cake-boards, and the vast majority – if not all – will currently end up in landfill or incinerated. “We can supply a recyclable alternative, which does the same job, at virtually the same cost – in fact in some cases, we can actually offer a cost saving. There really is no need for companies to continue to use the non-recyclable boards. “This is a sustainable, plastic-free, recyclable packaging solution which functions in exactly the same way and offers a range of additional branding options. “Now we’re able to offer printed boards, offering customers a chance to get creative and put something on the shelf that has real visual impact.” The new Earthboard Eco cake-boards are available in pearlescent coatings, including silver, gold and black, as standard. We can also supply cake-boards in any Pantone colour, subject to minimum order quantities being met. Ross added: “Whether it’s corporate colours for a retailer, or branding based on Christmas or Easter, we can offer a huge range of options to anyone selling cakes – the only real limitation with printed cake-boards is your imagination.” Standard sizes are 6in, 7in, 8in, 9in, 10in, 11in and 12in, circular and square. However, we can supply any size/shape as required. We can also supply patisserie boards. Our Earthboard Eco cake-boards are 1550 micron (approx. 1.5mm) and we can also offer a double thickness board, which is 3100 micron (approx. 3mm). Recyclable cake-boards are also available to buy from our Field & Fare website. And we also introduced recyclable cake drums to the market during 2023. Sirane can also supply custom shaped boards, including irregular shapes – Valentine’s Day, for example, sees red heart-shaped boards become popular. Sirane is an innovative packaging development-to-manufacture company, with expertise in absorbency and material science. The company’s specialisms include: board; bags, pouches & film including traditional flexibles; absorbent products; assembly & fulfilment; plastic replacement and more. It has four main divisions
