The foodservice and packaging industry is evolving rapidly, driven by consumer demand for sustainability, convenience, and innovation. At this year’s Responsible Packaging Expo at ExCeL London (30th September – 1st October), Coppice will be showcasing how we are meeting those demands head-on with our trusted aluminium solutions and the launch of our new Coppice QuickServe™ line-up.
A Legacy of Innovation in Aluminium Packaging
Founded in 1972 as Alupack, Coppice has been at the forefront of aluminium packaging for more than 50 years . From our purpose-built manufacturing facility in South Wales, we produce millions of trays every year for food producers, processors, caterers, and retailers around the world.
Our expertise spans smoothwall trays—designed for ready meals, meat and poultry, and film sealing—and wrinklewall formats, trusted across bakery and catering. With one of the UK’s largest press and tool banks, Coppice is uniquely positioned to deliver both scale and flexibility for customers .
Why Aluminium?
Aluminium is not only durable and versatile—it is also infinitely recyclable. Recycling aluminium saves around 95% of the energy needed to produce virgin material , making it one of the most sustainable packaging materials available today.
Our trays combine strength and performance with sustainability:
-
Ovenable, microwaveable, and freezer-safe
-
Designed for heat distribution and food safety
-
Infinitely recyclable without loss of quality
By choosing aluminium, food producers can meet both operational needs and environmental commitments.

Air Fryer Compatibility: Meeting Consumer Trends
Consumer cooking habits are also changing, with air fryers now owned by more than half of UK households . Coppice has developed air fryer–ready tray formats, making it easier for food brands and meal kit companies to meet this growing trend. These trays are:
-
Ovenable and air fryer safe
-
Designed for even heat distribution
