Headlam faced significant challenges with their packaging, as it struggled with durability, tearing too easily and complicating the unloading process. Alongside these operational issues, they were also committed to aligning with their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals by incorporating more recycled materials into their packaging.
We worked closely with the Headlam team to gain a deep understanding of the challenges they were facing by visiting their site and watching how their packaging product performed in their operation. Duo’s innovation team were briefed on the challenges and developed a custom film. Consideration was taken to improve durability and we ensured the film’s outer layer was slightly slippery to simplify and save time when unloading products without tearing the packaging.
To improve compatibility with the sensors on their machinery, the colour of the film was changed to dark grey which resulted in more accurate heat sealing, making the entire process smoother and more efficient.
To align with their ESG goals, we increased the recycled content in the industrial film product from 65 to 80% recycled content.
“Working with Duo has always been brilliant. If I’ve ever got a problem, I know I can go to Duo, and they’ll resolve it for me, that’s the relationship we have! We’ve worked with Duo for many years, and the level of service they provide is brilliant. Creating this packaging solution for us has really helped us from the packing line of the carpets, right the way through to the delivery of our products. ”
