Duo Packaging has been chosen by HellermannTyton to develop an innovative, first-of-its-kind packaging solution for the cable management sector. The packaging has been designed to prevent moisture damage and product failure during the transportation of cable ties and has eradicated the requirement for a second packaging item.
HellermannTyton, Manchester-based cable management manufacturer manufacturers and supplies a range of products which include plastic, embedded metal and fire-resistant cable ties. The packaging used to protect these products must also retain moisture to prevent them from becoming brittle and snapping.
Working together closely with HellermannTyton’s Global Packaging Development Lead we created a specialist bag that features an innovative moisture-retaining barrier and eradicated the requirement for a second packaging item. Previously, the company packaged and repackaged the cable ties in several different bags to help lock in the moisture and preserve the product quality.
Dale Brimelow Operations Director at Duo Packaging commented: “The new packaging innovation has had an immediate and substantial impact. It has streamlined the packaging process, which has a potential to increase the client’s production. Additionally, it has helped remove over 160,000 laminated bags from the supply chain each year. This new solution is fully recyclable with increased efficiency and better cost control. All this has been achieved while enhancing moisture control to better protect products during transit.”
The packaging solution Duo Packaging manufactured is made using LDPE with a minimum of 30% recycled content and is fully recyclable.
Head of Procurement at HellermannTyton said: “We have trialled this solution for over a year, rigorously testing it to ensure it worked with our machinery. Through dedication and commitment to create what is an industry-first solution, Duo has helped us to tackle a problem, using their expertise and experience to turn that into a solution by understanding our needs and manufacturing capabilities. As a result, it has delivered unbelievable results.”
“As a global company, working alongside locally-based suppliers is extremely important to us and supports our wider sustainability goals as a business. What’s more, the ability to stock hold with Duo is invaluable, especially given the scale of machinery we operate on site.”
