Packaging manufacturer lands smokin’ hot deal

Sone Products Ltd has announced it has won a contract to supply the growing e-cigarette market with a new form of packaging.

Sone, which is based in County Durham, offers a range of services for the design, manufacture and assembly of application solutions in plastic packaging, has been awarded a three-year contract to supply bottles, caps and dropper plugs to new customer, The E-liquid Company (NW) Ltd. 

The supply agreement will see Sone use its in-house processing capabilities to manufacture an estimated 1 million packs per year.

Based in Blackburn, The E-liquid Company which supplies e-liquid for refillable electronic cigarettes, is a relative newcomer to an industry which is experiencing rapid growth. Sone worked closely with the company to take a standard re-fill pack and refine it, which it says has resulted in improvements in both product performance and end user experience. 

“Working with the SONE team we achieved a bottle design that's unique. The development process was a fantastic journey and the resulting pack will be a game changer in our market,” commented Suhail Virmani, The E-Liquid Company’s Director. 

“Also, the fact that SONE manufactures products in the UK fits really well with our own 'home grown' approach.”

The first re-fill packs are expected to roll off production during March.
