They offer an extensive range of printed takeaway and promotional packaging, all printed up to six colours. Industry-first specialist pricing options, such as Foil Stamp, Embossing, and UV Spot printing, set VaioPak apart from competitors.

Starting as Addcup Media Limited, the company quickly grew to meet the significant demand for printed cups and custom food service packaging.

Daisy Turner

Regional Packaging

Background

I’m a fun, outgoing person who absolutely loves meeting new customers and getting to know them. Whether we’re chatting about the latest in food packaging or just having a friendly conversation about life, I’m all in!

My passion for food packaging stems from the joy of seeing innovative solutions come to life! There's nothing more satisfying than seeing our packaging solutions in action, helping businesses thrive and enhancing customer experiences. Before diving into the world of packaging, I worked in the hospitality sector, which gave me a deep understanding of the importance of quality packaging in delivering an exceptional customer experience. I love the challenge of finding the perfect packaging that not only meets practical needs but also enhances the customer experience.

When I’m not helping my clients find the perfect packaging solutions, you’ll find me spending quality time with friends, indulging in delicious food, or probably planning my next holiday adventure. And if there’s music playing, you can bet I’ll be up dancing somewhere! I believe that great relationships are built on good conversations and shared experiences, and I’m always excited to create those connections.

Replenishment Manager

Background

As the replenishment Manager at Zeus Food. I have been involved in various roles within the packaging industry, but when I am not conjuring up inventory wonders, you can find me on TikTok (my favourite pastime - who else is guilty of mindlessly scrolling through videos) playing with my three fur babies, going on weekend trips with my partner, or listening to my favourite artists at concerts. When asked what I love most about my job it's the thrill of problem solving and the satisfaction of knowing that my work keeps businesses running smoothly.
