LOCTITE LOCK IT UP WITH
JETLOK® Henkel, producers of adhesives and sealing compounds, have repackaged their Loctite Torque Marque 7414 Warranty Seal. Traditionally packed in bulk and shipped in outers of 48, the product has not been available in a single protective pack. New marketing initiatives to bring this product to a wider audience were initiated and packaging was identified as a simple solution of allowing customers to buy the product in single units. Research to find the best package was carried out and the Jetlok®
pack was finally chosen as
the solution. For more information call 01582 459292, email
