This time last week we held our annual Supplier Day.\u00a0 This day showcases the new packaging products, packing machines and techniques that our suppliers have to offer, combined with discussion, advice and information direct from the experts.<\/p>\n

\"Rajapack<\/p>\n

Every year the Rajapack Supplier Day gives our teams the chance to really understand our suppliers, their ethos and their products.\u00a0 Working so closely enables us to have a relationship with them based on trust and shared values.\u00a0 Throughout the day our teams learn directly from the experts, taking their knowledge on board so we can deliver the right products, advice and solutions to our customers.<\/p>\n

Right from the start, the floor was humming with activity.\u00a0 A atmosphere throughout the day gave everyone the opportunity to listen and learn from our specialist suppliers, an invaluable experience.<\/p>\n

Seminars were held throughout the day, which allowed suppliers to demonstrate and explain their product and services in detail.\u00a0 Some of the topics focused on included digital print and bespoke packaging, environmental responsibility and to improve customer service with increased client-supplier communication.\u00a0 The aim of the supplier seminars is to help the Rajapack team be better prepared and equipped with knowledge to better answer customer queries.<\/p>\n

A focus on Environmental Responsibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, a common theme across all our suppliers was a focus on environmental responsibility and recycling, a topic that is very close to our hearts at Rajapack.\u00a0 The success and popularity of David Attenborough\u2019s \u2018Blue Planet II\u2019 series on the BBC has had a huge impact on the UK population, encouraging us to think about the choices we can make when buying and recycling plastics.<\/p>\n

For many suppliers, corrugated cardboard<\/a> is a key solution in the fight against plastics and the move away from materials which can\u2019t easily be recycled.\u00a0 Cardboard and cardboard boxes<\/a> can easily be recycled, while offering many benefits as a packaging material; high strength, crushing resistance, and light weight are just a few. At Rajapack we agree completely, and together with our suppliers we can all be part of the solution to increase recycling and reduce the waste that washes up on our shores.<\/p>\n

What can you expect from Rajapack suppliers in 2018<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All our suppliers contributed on the day in what was a valuable and positive learning experience for everyone.\u00a0 As one of the few distributors of Ranpak products in the UK, we were proud to host them again on the day.\u00a0 They showcased a new product, which they will be launching this year and we will be offering through the Rajapack website and catalogue.<\/p>\n

The Geami WrapPak Exbox Mini <\/strong>is a wrapping and packaging machine<\/a> for small operations and retail outlets.\u00a0 Made from a disposable carton expander box, it\u2019s small and lightweight, ideal for operations with limited space. \u00a0It produces Geami\u2019s strong 3D honeycomb die cut paper, a very strong, robust and eco-friendly wrapping which offers great protection for items and also looks attractive.<\/p>\n

\"Geami<\/p>\n

Another innovative packaging machine that was showcased this year was the AirWave<\/strong>.\u00a0 This small and compact machine produces void fill pillows and quilts.\u00a0 Its ergonomic design combined with powerful performance offers a strong solution for protective packaging, and it\u2019s another cutting edge packaging product that we\u2019ll be stocking this year as part of our RAJASYSTEM<\/a> range.<\/p>\n
