For many companies, procuring the right packaging, such as Poly Bags can be daunting. This is especially true of polythene bags.
They come in all shapes and sizes, just about any thickness imaginable, some are welded at the bottom, some at the side. Some are printed in various colours, some have no print at all. It may be boring, but someone must take the responsibility of buying these items, and whoever does it must get it right.
It is no good if you have a strict deadline to launch a new product and you can't get it into the bag. Did the product suddenly grow, or was the wrong size bag ordered. All eyes on the packaging buyer!
And what of larger items? Many companies use Pallet Covers and Pallet Shrouds that are made of polythene. How do you make sure that the supplier can provide these items on time, every time and at a reasonable cost?
The important thing is - get it right first time - oh and get it right every other time as well!
Pal let Shrouds, Pol y Bags and Pal let Covers in every conceivable shape and size are available at http://www.5es.co.uk. Or email at sales@5es.co.uk
