Third-party logistics provider Prism eLogistics assisted all-natural soft drink company Quenched Fruit and Soda in securing orders with a tight delivery timeframe for 40,000 cans through its innovative shrink sleeve packaging solution.
Quenched, celebrated for its unique sodas and eco-friendly initiatives, previously relied on digitally printed cans to achieve its vibrant aesthetic. However, a supply chain hurdle threatened to prevent them from fulfilling some urgent orders.
Prism promptly took delivery of the cans and processed them through its two fully automated steam shrink sleeve lines, which provided a high-quality sleeve. Subsequently, each can was collated and repacked by the Prism team, who expertly managed all logistics and fulfillment aspects for Quenched. This ensured a seamless transition from challenge to resolution.
Since its launch in 2023, Quenched has made remarkable strides, particularly for introducing the first ‘proper’ ready-to-drink lime and soda beverage in the UK. Founder and director Mike Bate emphasized the importance of Prism’s partnership: “As a business that prides itself on offering high-quality, environmentally conscious drinks, it is vital that we can meet our customers’ needs while overcoming production challenges efficiently and sustainably.”
“Partnering with Prism and utilizing its quick turnaround shrink sleeving solution allowed us to efficiently supply the cans, upholding our standards for quality packaging and minimizing any potential wastage. Prism’s swift management of the process and all logistics was superb, putting the cherry on top of an exceptionally comprehensive service.”
Ian Wright, Managing Director of Prism eLogistics, remarked: “Shrink sleeving was the perfect answer to the challenge faced by Quenched. When you are working with a volume like 40,000 cans, a quick and efficient approach is crucial.”
“In such scenarios, our rapid-response capability and advanced shrink sleeve lines can make a significant difference for clients—both in terms of cost and delivery speed. This commitment drives us to consistently go the extra mile.”
With 20 years of industry expertise and two high-speed automated lines, Prism specializes in flexible, sustainable shrink-sleeving for cans, bottles, and jars. Their fully automated machines can sleeve up to 20,000 units per hour and accommodate a wide range of container types, including glass and plastic. Additionally, they offer environmentally friendly options, such as floatable sleeves for closed-loop recycling.
