Fitness focused meal firm works out partnership with printed packaging company

A FITNESS focused meal company specialising in nutritional meals has teamed up with a Devon printed packaging specialist to design its luxury packaging (October 2022).

Precision Prep chose Newton Abbot-based Newton Print Ltd to develop luxury sleeve packaging for its meals, which are the ideal balance of macronutrients the body needs.

Spencer Bloomfield, Founder of Precision Prep, said: “I really enjoyed working with Newton Print and am over the moon that I have found a company that has been able to create exactly what I was imagining. In fact, what they produced was even better than I expected. They were imaginative, fast, efficient and cost-effective.

“They are also an extremely professional and helpful team, and nothing was too much trouble for them. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and educational process, and I am really looking forward to working with them again in the future.”

The Precision Prep range was established in May 2020 by Spencer and his team, as they wanted to challenge the notion that someone’s potential can only be achieved through fad diets, meal replacements and quick fixes.

All of the meals are made from scratch from a team of chefs using fresh, natural ingredients to help the body lose fat and build muscle mass. Then they’re flash frozen to lock in valuable nutrients.

James Harrison, who is a Precision Prep affiliate, said: “Precision Prep meals are hands down the best meal prep I’ve ever used. They have great nutrition and taste and for my clients, who want convenience and quality, they are a no-brainer.”

Meals can be ordered online at https://precisionprep.uk and are even available in vending machine freezers in some gyms.

Newton Print was tasked with developing luxury sleeves with a spot UV varnish for the launch of the range.

Simon Besley, Sales and Marketing Director at Newton Print in Newton Abbot, which specialises in printed packaging for the food industry, said: “We helped Spencer develop his packaging for his launch and have since helped him refine his packaging as he scales up to make it more cost-effective, reducing his unit costs per sleeve.

“We’ve done this by optimising the print runs and the number of SKUs printed at the same time, so that he is getting the best balance between cash flow and unit cost. We’ll continually be refining the size and specification of the sleeves to help him maintain that balance as Precision Prep grows.

“We have also been working with Spencer to keep lead times down, so he was able to hit production targets – even during the run-up to Christmas!”
