Leading packaging supplier, Eviosys, has been recognised at the UK Packaging Awards 2024, winning the coveted Consumer Convenience Award category.

The company received the accolade for its breakthrough Orbit metal lid – a patented closure technology that has redefined what it means to open a jar, putting ease and inclusivity at its core, without compromising on sustainability. The win follows hot on the heels of the next iteration of Orbit, which launched this Autumn in a new 66mm diameter.

Designed to be opened without force, by anyone, the outer ring acts as a shock-absorber that protects the seal. Owing to this, Orbit only requires slight pressure to loosen the ring, lift up the inside panel, break the seal and open the lid. Since its conception, Orbithas been a proven driver of consumer loyalty. 

Eviosys’ extensive market research, in partnership with the University of Sheffield, found that 55% of consumers would even consider changing brands to benefit from Orbit. Now, Eviosys is driving further uptake of the product with its new 66mm diameter offer, the most popular size on the market.

Already proving hugely successful in many European countries such as Spain, France, Netherlands or Nordics, customers including Cidacos and D’aucy have repeatedly praised the ease and convenience of Orbit and increased consumer loyalty. As the Orbit range expands its offering, it provides an increasingly attractive option for brands looking to stand out from the competition and widen their consumer base.

Laetitia Durafour, Marketing Director at Eviosys, said:“Orbit has inclusion and accessibility at the heart of its design, and we’re proud to be a company that listens to our customers and consumers, creating the products they need and want. 

“We are honoured to be recognised at this year’s UK Packaging Awards – the award highlights our commitment to creating accessible and environmentally conscious packaging solutions. We are excited to further propel Orbit’s evolution in new formats and continue to innovate with our partners, playing our part to create a more inclusive and sustainable future for our planet.”
