In 2019, Leeds-based manufacturer of packing products and systems, Hazel 4D celebrated their 40th anniversary. But in a world where online shipping between businesses has increased by an estimated 74%, what are some of the innovative products that can help you save time, money, and the planet?
To look at some of the opportunities available for members, we sat down with company founder and Chairman, Garth Christie, who founded the business in 1979, to talk about the range of products that the company has on offer to support members from across both regions during this time of increased delivery of products, both big and small.
One such example of the company pursuing a more environmentally friendly solution to problems can be seen in their new Automatic Gummed Paper Tape Machine.
With these machines, there are two options: semi-automatic and automatic. The semi-automatic machines seal either the top, bottom or both ends of cartons and come with adjustable height and width settings. While the automatic machines will automatically close the top flaps of cartons before sealing them with tape.
Neil Christie, Commercial Director at Hazel 4D, said “As the impact of climate change becomes increasingly apparent, many clients have found their customers are demanding they use less plastic. Our Comarme gummed paper tape case sealers give large businesses a quick and easy way to reduce their plastic use by applying a recycled paper tape to their cartons.”
This gummed paper tape carton sealers is the latest addition to the sustainable packaging range. Along with their NuevopakTM recycled paper void fill systems, the company is pursuing a goal of helping businesses who are looking to reduce their plastic use.
The company went on to share with us some of the products that support their goal of creating more environmentally friendly, and sustainable packaging. These products include:
- Locked Air, which will fill in the gaps and add an air-filled shock-absorbing layer to your boxes.
- Nuevopak, an eco-friendly recycled paper void fill system.
- The Boxer, which offers an affordable alternative to bubble wrap.
- Paper Documents Enclosed Wallets, which helps to reduce your company's plastic waste by swapping your enclosed wallets to eco-friendly paper documents.
