Designing the future of packaging.

21st June 2022

Loadhog designs and innovates its products to ensure that the plastics they use are reusable, recyclable and repairable. Our expert design team has years of experience in innovation; from designing returnable packaging solutions for supply chains, to creating new innovative products to meet specific customer and market needs.

Knowledge, experience and competence are contributing factors that allow Loadhog to produce such high quality, relevant packaging solutions. Our team spend time researching new and existing markets to stay at the forefront of the industry and take time to plan the future of our product offering.

As well as the existing product line, Loadhog can design and manufacture products to meet specific needs of the customer. For example, if the customer is already using returnable packaging but has problems with breakages or usability, Loadhog’s design team will adapt, change and implement solutions to meet the customers’ requirements, while solving their problems.

Loadhog were already designing and manufacturing Attached Lid Containers when a popular UK clothing retailer approached them with problems with their existing containers. They challenged Loadhog to fix the problems they were having and worked in conjunction with the design team to find the following solutions:

  • Adding a ribbed base for stiffness and noise reduction
  • Using alternative material to avoid breakages on impact
  • Adding the lid tessellation of a Helios
  • Innovating the hinge pin security to prevent pull through
  • Stepped wall design that mirrors and works with existing containers

The retailer also challenged an automation feature, which Loadhog proposed the specific collar design. From this came the Artemis, an addition to the ALC range. The Artemis enabled the retailer to be more efficient, reduce waste and increase security.

Loadhog brings extra value by learning, understanding and developing a product that will increase efficiency and usability within a customer’s supply chain.
