Innovia Films has been helping the world to “have a proper brew” by supplying Yorkshire Tea with their Propafilm™ film wrap.

Innovia Films, which has a local factory in Wigton, has continued to supply speciality

films to the packaging industry for over 45 years under the trademark Propafilm™.

Their wide range of packing films includes a Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film which is perfect for keeping tea fresh.

Yorkshire Tea, one of Taylors of Harrogate’s iconic brands (and one of the best-selling teas in the UK) uses Propafilm™ to protect its exceptional ‘big flavour’ all the way to the pot.

Working as a key packaging partner to the North Yorkshire based Taylors of Harrogate, Innovia Films offers box overwrap packaging on the Yorkshire Tea range and other Taylors of Harrogate products.

According to Conrad Hart-Brooke, ‎Head of Packaging at Taylors of Harrogate, “the film that we currently use on our Yorkshire Tea boxes is anti-static, enhancing machine performance while minimising dust attraction onto the wrapped packs. Most importantly it also provides an excellent quality appearance on the finished packs.”

Neil Banerjee, Market Manager, Innovia Films enthused, “Our Propafilm™ range includes grades that have been scientifically developed to meet the different criteria of many markets. They include: glossy films to enhance shelf appeal, shrink tightening films for improved pack appearance, high barrier films for protection, easy-open films and clear collation films for multi-pack applications. Besides tea overwrap, Propafilm™ is used in the biscuit, dried foods, confectionery, home, personal and cosmetic markets. “

The Wigton factory is where Innovia Films creates the Propafilm™ used by Taylors of Harrogate.

Innovia Films prides itself on the fact that Propafilm™ is locally designed, built and maintained by their in-house Engineering department.

The Wigton based engineering team utilise all aspects of modern efficient engineering to maximise performance and further develop the production process.

Innovia Films currently has three Engineering job vacancies.

The work is varied, offers a high degree of involvement and would see projects through from concept to working production.
