Efficiency Unleashed: Duo UK's drive towards packaging automation

The ascent of automated packaging technology is transforming operations and improving business efficiency. This year, Duo advances further, broadening its product spectrum with advanced auto-bagging polythene films, encompassing shrink and stretch variants. These transformative innovations cater to a diverse range of sectors, including non-food contact applications and garment fulfilment operations. 

Dale Brimelow, Duo’s Operations Director, elaborates on the rationale behind investing in products specifically for automated packing technology: 

Q: Efficiency is vital for businesses. Can you shed light on the specialised film blends developed for this application? 

A: Efficiency reigns supreme in every operation and businesses are investing in automated packing machinery to make further enhancements. We’ve developed a polythene film blend specifically tailored for this purpose, focusing on slip levels and heat sealing properties to optimize automated packing machines performance. 

Q: Are there any challenges customers face when adopting automated packing machinery? 

A: Many clients are searching for a local supplier of their polythene film for their automated packing machinery. The reasons include reduced lead times and a greener supply chain. Duo bridges this gap by manufacturing this product in the UK.
