Packaging for all seasons
Packaging design specialist, TDX has established an independent, tradeonly thermoforming service as a fastresponse back-up for UK thermoformers caught out by sudden surges in demand. It can be used to manufacture trays for soft fruits and BBQ products for example, which are subject to seasonal demand.
The service follows the company's investment in a Kiefel KMD85 Speedformer and the creation of a food compliant environment accredited to BRC/IOP standards. Although the equipment was originally installed to commission tools for customers TDX began to receive requests to use the machine as a source of additional capacity. This led the company to include its thermoforming facility in the BRC/IOP accreditation process.
TDX sales and marketing director, Mark Prinn, explained: "We understand the pressure our customers face in dealing with peak seasonal demand and the commercial dangers in subcontracting to competitors, so we now offer a 24/7 safe house sub contract thermoforming facility."
The machine is manned 24/7 and TDX stocks a range of pallets, cases, liners and labels to ensure the fastest possible response time. TDX complements this with in-house R-PET supply within 24 hours plus a food grade R-PET with 90 per cent recycled content.
