Is your product suitable for transport in plastic packaging? Can there be no migration of your product through the wall of the packaging?

For metal packaging, you must use an internally coated product. Certain coatings are Food-Approved (Example RDL100).

Plastic packaging is also not always suitable for food. Please always check or ask whether these packages are ok for food.

Reconditioned packaging or PCR packaging is not suitable for food. Only RPET currently allows this.

The filling of your product

When filling your product, there are some important factors to consider.

Is it a liquid or a solid?

🔹

Is the cap opening large enough? Our packaging often has different cap openings. Do you need a specific filling opening?

🔹

Are the seals in the caps resistant to your product? This must be considered to avoid leaking caps.

🔹

What is the necessary torque to be used for the caps? The tightening torque is always stated on the technical data sheets of our packaging. If it’s not clear, feel free to ask us.

Delivery of your product

🔹

The standard delivery method is always stated on the quotation. If you would like to have another delivery method, for example Max. 1.2M high, this can always be requested. However, this does have an impact on freight costs and also results in a handling cost.

🔹

Within Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, we apply a FREE delivery from 5 pallet places. The calculation of how many packages are on 1 pallet space is on the quotation. The 5 pallet spaces are also valid in combination with the delivery of other packaging, but not for different delivery addresses.

🔹

Would you like to pick up your own order? That is always possible. Of course, there are no freight costs associated with your order.

🔹

Pallets can be exchanged or conserved. This will always be noted on the shipping bill, these will be credited when exchanging pallets.
