TEAR TOP TUBES
One of my personal favourite things about attending vape expo ’ s around the world is the fact that you get to meet people within the industry you ’ ve never met before .
It is always a pleasure meeting new people and this October at the Vaper Expo it was no exception . Whilst walking around near the Vapouround bus I was introduced to the guys from Unette Packaging Limited and introduced to them and their product .
The company dates back to the 1960 ’ s and was founded by Stanley George Hudson . Although originally specialising in the fi lling of aluminium tubes , they expanded over the years into all forms of contract packaging . It was Martyn Hudson from Unette who in the 1990 ’ s formed an association with the Unette Corporation in the USA which resulted in the ‘ Saran ’ tube and the innovation of the ‘ Dosette Top Tear Tube ’ which is designed for controlled dispense applications .
Packaging and presentation has always been of paramount importance to the vaping industry and this will always be the case . Whether it ’ s for the practicality of sending out samples to interested distributors and shops or for
The Unette samples themselves offered a functional method of distributing juice at low cost . The particular samples I used had the facility to hold 2ml of juice – the maximum size of a tank as permitted under the TPD – in a colourbranded lightweight package . It ’ s probably obvious , but worth stating anyway , that any packaging that allows juice companies to send out samples in sizes smaller than 10ml will if course offer a reduction in your shipping costs .
Unette also offer a range of styles in terms of the presentation of samples that may suit what juice companies are looking for – as ever in the industry , creativity is key in terms of standing out .
Every single juice manufacturer in the industry is always looking to stand out from the crowd , some are more successful at this than others , and I ’ d urge every company out there to always be aware of how important image and branding is . Thinking outside of the box can make all the difference in getting you noticed and Unette offer a solution that may well work for you .
the finished product that each manufacturer hopes will stand out amongst the myriad of juices available to the consumer .
Though the vaping industry moves at break neck speed in terms of both innovation and legislation , packaging will always be something that companies are focusing on and it ’ s always good to see companies that originated outside of the vaping sphere offering their services to those within it – particularly in the case of Unette . Not only have we seen tremendous innovation within the vape community but many companies outside of the industry have seen ways to incorporate vaping into their product line up .
