INDUSTRY NEWS Neatly packaged
Aetna Group UK, has provided an excellent solution for Potter's York distribution centre (DC) in the form of its 507 Robopac rotary wrapping machine. In February 2011, Potter Logistics bought two 507 Robopac wrapping
machines for its Selby site to wrap jars of jam for Greencore Foods. Three similar machines were purchased for the Ripon DC to wrap products ranging from hair care to industrial chemicals. There is also a further machine at its Droitwich site. These six machines were purchased on the back of a trial at Selby which showed a significant saving in employee time and packaging film. Three months ago, Potter Logistics, made the decision to invest in a new wrapping machine for its York DC; Aetna's 507 Robopac, was selected as it had proved itself to be a real asset at the other sites.

The lid is a completely new design, with the Cadbury’s logo embossed into the surface giving instant recognition to the pack. Graphics are applied to the pack by using a printed insert card, which is easy to change to reflect any change in contents or occasion and makes recycling the different components easier. The design has a secondary use; after the chocolates have been eaten the recipient can use the finished packaging for other purposes. The printed insert card
is removed leaving a versatile clear container, which is ideal for storage and personal use. Following the huge success of this design Cadbury and Bell Packaging are now developing new designs for 2013 using the Jetran®
principle.
