In a major breakthrough, one of the UK’s leading specialist food manufacturers has achieved an impressive 83% reduction in plastic and generated a cost saving of 67% through improvements in its packaging. This success comes after the company decided to seek an alternative solution instead of replacing its machinery, a costly recommendation given by several other packaging companies.
Upon approaching Lindum Packaging, a renowned packaging provider (visit lindumpackaging.com for more information), the company discovered a more efficient way to reduce packaging costs without the need for expensive machinery replacements. With the help of Lindum Packaging’s professional advice and expertise, they realized that using a 23mu power pre-stretch film was inefficient for their machines. The suggestion proposed by Lindum Packaging was to switch to a pre-stretched 6mu Carewrap film, which proved not only to be more suitable for their machinery but also resulted in significant plastic waste reduction and lowered packaging costs.
By opting for a thinner film rather than investing in unnecessary machinery, the company achieved remarkable results without incurring additional capital expenditure. Rick Sellars, Sales Manager at Lindum Packaging, expressed satisfaction in the outcome, stating, “If they had followed the initial advice of other packaging experts, the company would have faced a considerable expense for machinery replacement. However, by adopting our recommendation and optimizing their packaging materials, they are now reaping the rewards of one of the best outcomes we have ever witnessed.”
Established in 1985, this food specialist supplies meals and components to various sectors including the retail trade, food service industry, and other manufacturers across Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland.
