Case Study – Hambly Industries

Published on Wednesday, Jun 17 2015

Wessex Packaging were approached by Nigel Cousins of Hambly Industries in February 2015. Hambly Industries are classic car enthusiasts based in Salisbury who create innovative products blended with classic designs. Nigel was looking for a local packaging company that he could work with to find the ideal packaging for the company’s new product, GaugePilot, an in-vehicle information system.
 
Gauge Pilot is a revolutionary new device which combines the looks of traditional rally car timing devices with modern technology which allows for a very wide array of functions: ancillary gauges with alerts, rally tripmeter with average speed functions, stopwatches, data logger, service reminders and on-board computer. It’s all in one beautifully engineered unit.
 
Wessex Packaging were able to work with Hambly Industries and manufacture the exact specification of die cut foam fittings and printed carton. Customised packaging combining various materials and techniques was necessary but having been in business since 1977, Wessex Packaging has a wide range of tools for die cut carton and the expertise necessary to meet different requirements.
 
For example, the base of the fittings needed a thin foam layer which stood out and this was achieved by using pink anti-static polyurethane foam to provide a high cushioning factor and because it is well suited to specifically package electronics. Using a bespoke pack like this rather than an ill-fitting box can save transit costs as well as ensuring that the product is completely safe. It also saves time in comparison to using a material like bubble wrap. The printed carton was designed to give a high class attractive finish which along with the foam fittings also provides the unit with a great level of customised protection.
 
The end results were excellent and demonstrate the high quality of bespoke packaging that Wessex Packaging manufacture to suit any needs perfectly.
