While packaging manufacturer PALLITE has had success with several commercial movers in recent years, last November’s Movers & Storers Show was the first time the company had had the opportunity to fully immerse itself in the world of the moving industry.
Marketing Manager Stephanie Munn said, “As our first time exhibiting at the show, we were able to tap into the resources that the show provides, a key one being people. As the show is so strongly guarded to ensure the right criteria of attendees are present, it meant that for us, as newcomers, everyone we spoke to was a knowledge source, as well as a potential buyer. We were able to gain extra insight into the things that really matter to the industry and we quickly became even more confident that our product was an ideal fit.”
Stephanie was delighted by the strong footfall and the amount of interest shown by movers in the company’s honeycomb-cell walls of its packaging range, which differentiate PALLITE products from conventional corrugated alternatives. The company’s new TV box attracted particular interest from visitors to the stand. The box has a 25mm thick wall, a collapsible design with plastic clip buckles for speed of assembly, and is the ideal size for a 50” television, including its stand or wall mount. It also has carrying handles. However, the feature that stands out most is the box’s ability to hold up to 750kg within it, as well as a similar load on top, saving valuable space in the van.
Stephanie concluded, “The show was a great opportunity for PALLITE to launch this unique product to the market. As well as generating interest from moving companies, both large and small, it also received attention from some of the key players in the packaging industry. An exclusive deal has been struck with Simpson Packaging who are now proud resellers of the PALLITE TV box. Other versions of PALLITE boxes are available directly from ourselves,” said Stephanie. “Needless to say, The Movers & Storers show was a great success for us.”
