"We wanted to use plant-based packaging so we Googled to see what our options were. We ordered samples from the three main companies that came up, but Planglow's products were the ones that instantly stood out and we found the service to be very helpful and pleasant too.
"We wanted to raise awareness of our brand overall so the brief was for easy, smart looking options that fitted with our overall look. Branded bags and cups were our first thought as they are used for take-away items, while the stickers offer additional opportunities and another finishing touch for lots of other items.
"Planglow's products support our brand really well - they've a quality finish which is really important for us and look very smart, so we're always confident in our purchases."

The Red River Café , Heartlands
Heartlands is a World Heritage Gateway site in the former mining heart of Cornwall. Situated at Robinson’s shaft near Redruth, the site was an operational tin mine for nearly 400 years until its closure in 1998.
