Polypouch UK owner and CEO Stephen Frankel described the partnership as an “exciting milestone” for the Hemel Hempstead headquartered packaging specialist.

“This collaboration ensures the availability of high-quality, sustainable, and customised pouch packaging solutions across the UK and Ireland,” he said.

To officially recognise the deal, Stephen Frankel and sales director Sam Frankel were presented with a partner trophy by Steffen Ohr and Ronny Kunze of Sihl Germany.

“Thanks to this partnership, printed pouches can now be produced locally,” said Sam Frankel.

“Customers will benefit from significantly faster lead times – just 2-3 days if urgent – enhanced communication, and bespoke designs that align with their brand vision. Local printing also improves quality control and sustainability.”

With 15-plus years of industry expertise, Polypouch will combine Sihl’s advanced materials with its cutting-edge manufacturing.

Sustainability and innovation at the core
Polypouch UK’s eco-friendly solutions include recyclable and compostable materials, reducing environmental impact. Using Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content, Polypouch ensures packaging is both functional and part of the circular economy. Its pouches feature resealable closures and high-barrier materials for optimal product protection.

Offering custom and stock pouches, Polypouch supports customers across a wide spectrum of sectors including FMCG, cosmetic, pet foods, and medical.

The partnership with Sihl will further support its growth plans following its acquisition of the key assets from Surepak. The purchases last June strengthened Polypouch’s market position and ensured continuity for Surepak’s former customers.
