The new tube features a built-in
applicator sponge designed to apply
paint evenly to a test area
RPC M&H Plastics has produced a new flexible tube to package and apply Crown Paints’ matchpot samples.
The new tube features a built-in applicator sponge designed to apply paint evenly to a test area while minimizing any potential drips or mess that could be caused by a traditional paintbrush.
The Crown Paints matchpots offer a sample capacity of 40 ml, which is the perfect amount to cover a surface area of 0.5 square meter, while leaving enough product to apply further coats for dense coverage. Due to the very nature of flexible tubes, Crown Paints can be sure that the 40 ml provided can be extracted from the tube by squeezing the packaging which ensures minimal waste product.
The tube is finished with a white silkscreen print, which RPC M&H Plastics applied to help improve the visual appearance and clarity of the Crown Paints logo, branding and instructional information to create a minimalist and cost-effective format. A label is then applied during the filling process with details of which color is inside the tube.
The matchpot product will be sold around the UK at Crown Decorator Centres, Independent decorator stores, Homebase, Bunnings, and Wilko.
Crown Paints said: ‘M&H has exceeded our expectations and has made suggestions to further improve our product offering to the customer. There have been many stop/start moments on this project but M&H has always been there with help and advice; consistency of management on this project is a great asset to us. M&H went the extra mile to provide Crown Paints customers with a great product.’
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
