Unette are a strict no nut facility.
If there are very small particulates that are held in suspension, we could look at the enquiry for you. The dosing needle is only 2mm in diameter so the particles would need to be smaller than this for us to be able to fill it.
In the Nutrition business we only fill into our Tear Top Tube format. We also have an Industrial Division, Lubepack, who can fill into traditional three side seal sachets and screw cap tubes.
We have lots of options and our tubes are hand packed into your choice of secondary packaging. We can assist in sourcing all types of secondary packaging requirements such as display cartons and clip strips, through our network of approved suppliers.
Most of our tubes are made from laminate material to provide the necessary barrier properties and are not widely recycled. We have some options that are front of store recyclable when the barrier properties are not as important.
We design and make all the filling equipment used at Unette Nutrition. Because of this we can alter the width and length of the tubes to accommodate fill volume from 1ml to 100ml. The tubes will therefore be anything from 70mm to 192mm long and from 23.5mm to 55mm wide.
Please contact us through the enquiry page and our sales team will be in touch to discuss your requirements and arrange for relevant sample packs to be sent out to you.
Once a suitable tube size has been identified we will send artwork templates and artwork guidelines to you so you can supply the artwork to us. We will then check everything over for you to ensure the design integrity is kept when the flat artwork is made into a Tear Top Tube and arrange for a print ready proof to be created for your approval.
We are based in Nantwich, Cheshire - around 40 miles south of Manchester in the UK.
