At Linwood Raker, results speak louder than words. Our case studies show how UK manufacturers work with us to make production faster, cleaner, and more consistent, including through the application of our coated paper solutions across industrial and food manufacturing sectors. Our tailored coated papers help improve processes, cut waste, and increase efficiency, with each project reflecting a focus on innovation, product quality, and sustainability.
Proven Solutions in Action
Reducing Waste and Cost in a UK Bakery
A leading UK bakery partnered with Linwood Raker to improve efficiency across its high-volume baking lines while reducing waste and managing rising liner costs. Following a full review of the production process, we developed a bespoke die-cut silicone-coated release paper engineered specifically for the application.
The result was measurable operational and environmental improvements:
• 8% reduction in material waste
• 5% saving in liner costs
• 100% recyclable within the client’s waste stream
• Consistent, reliable release without compromising product quality
By combining technical expertise with a collaborative approach, we delivered a solution that reduced costs, improved production efficiency and supported the bakery’s sustainability objectives.
Improving Release Performance for an Industrial Adhesives Manufacturer
A leading UK adhesives manufacturer partnered with Linwood Raker to improve release performance during high-pressure bitumen extrusion. After reviewing the production process, we developed a bespoke high-temperature coated release paper designed to deliver greater stability, consistency and performance in demanding manufacturing environments.
The new solution delivered measurable improvements:
- 6% reduction in material failure
- 20% increase in liner lifespan
- More consistent coating transfer and surface quality
- Greater production efficiency with reduced downtime
This project demonstrates how engineered coated papers, combined with technical expertise and close collaboration, can improve production reliability, reduce operational costs and enhance product quality in industrial manufacturing.
Improving Food Packaging Performance for an FMCG Manufacturer
A leading UK food manufacturer partnered with Linwood Raker to replace a laminate-based packaging material with a high-performance, fibre-based grease-resistant paper. The objective was to improve barrier performance, reduce packaging waste and support sustainability without compromising efficiency on high-speed packing lines.
The new solution delivered significant benefits:
- Eliminated grease breakthrough for improved product protection
- Reduced packaging spoilage during transport and distribution
- Improved efficiency on high-speed packing lines
- Fully recyclable fibre-based solution, replacing plastic laminate
By combining food-contact expertise with tailored coating technology, we helped the client improve packaging performance, reduce waste and strengthen its sustainability credentials, while maintaining the high standards expected by retailers and consumers.
