At Cromwell, we take great pride in the exceptional service we offer to both new and long-standing customers. Our commitment to excellence is supported by the quality and variety of the products we provide. While ensuring our existing range meets the highest standards, we’re always on the lookout for gaps in the market—products our customers need but that we don’t yet supply.
Over the past 24 months, we’ve introduced several new products, driven by innovation, product development, or increasing demand. These include our Compostable Gloves, Poly-Packed Products, The rUK Sack, and the Compostable Liner Re-order Ribbon, to name just a few.
Introducing Piping Bags
Following the successful launch of our ‘Glovelee’ range of compostable gloves, we expanded even further into the foodservice sector. While we already had a strong presence and loyal customer base in food and hospitality, the introduction of these compostable gloves allowed us to dive deeper into this dynamic industry. This gave us valuable insight into market trends, where we identified a growing demand for an item that would perfectly complement our range—piping bags.
Our new piping bags seamlessly fit into our disposables range. Made from polythene, they offer a recyclable alternative to the traditional cotton or nylon piping bags commonly used in catering. This addition not only meets the needs of the industry but also reflects our commitment to sustainability and innovation.
When it came to manufacturing, as with all our products, our top priorities were circularity and industry compliance. We wanted to ensure that our new piping bags were not only of the highest quality and fit for purpose but also environmentally responsible. Made from 40% recycled material, they are exempt from the plastic packaging tax, and beyond their recycled content, they are fully recyclable after use, offering a true closed-loop solution.
In the foodservice sector, health, safety, hygiene, and sanitation are of paramount importance, and products within this supply chain must meet rigorous standards. Our piping bags are no exception—they are food safe, ensuring they meet the necessary criteria for safe and hygienic use in the industry.
In food preparation, the colour of equipment plays a crucial role, as any foreign objects need to be easily spotted within the food. This is why bright colours are often used for disposables and tools. To meet this industry standard, we’ve added a blue tint to our piping bags, a widely recognised and easily identifiable colour in the foodservice sector, ensuring they meet sanitation requirements in kitchens and hospitality environments.
Our piping bags are supplied on a recyclable cardboard core and are individually perforated for easier dispensing and portion control, with 100 pieces per roll (5 rolls per carton). Their flexible yet durable polythene structure makes them ideal for use in kitchens of all sizes, ensuring effective and efficient performance in food preparation.
