YEAR END REVIEW Designed. Sealed. Delivered.


Alexir Partnership, the only UK owned group that offers a complete ‘design to delivery’ service, were proud to have been given two awards in 2012 for the development and production of the Batchelors Deli Box from Premier Foods; the Starpack Award of Excellence and the BPIF Excellence Award. The Alexir Partnership conceived, designed and manufactured the highly-innovative packaging, as well as blending, filling and packing the dried food content at its co-manufacturing facility. The unique manufacturing process ensures complete fitness for purpose combined with the ability to be packed at speed on the production line. It is currently the only square pot in the marketplace that does not need a secondary pack inside and also gives the brand owner a display facility of 360 degrees for stand-out branding. For further information please telephone 01732 866681, email sales@alexir.co.uk or visit www.alexir.co.uk.

Bespoke packing and delivery


As a direct result of a meeting at the Internet Retailing Show in 2011, The Charapak Group established a


bespoke packaging and distribution operation for newly- launched online wine retailer WineSimplicity.com. Charapak designed and produced a striking wine case in three sizes for four, six and twelve wine bottles. Its Repak contract packing arm, meanwhile, provides storage for around 6,000 bottles of wine with a pick and packing service that prepares all orders ready for collection by the delivery courier by 5pm each weekday. Using a computer link-up between Wine Simplicity and Repak, each order received on the website is acknowledged, processed for payment and then passed directly to Repak. Once the wines have been selected and prepared for despatch, the Repak system confirms to Wine Simplicity that the order has been completed. The system also provides stock management and re-ordering for the wines. For more information call +44 (0) 1773 835735 or email sales@charapak.co.uk.
