Duo UK to Supply Polythene Packaging to Irish Footwear Retailer Donaghys Shoes

Manchester based packaging manufacturer Duo UK has received a contract to supply polythene packaging to Irish independent footwear retailer Donaghys Shoes.

As part of the deal, Duo UK will be responsible for designing, manufacturing and supplying branded mailing bagsfor the shoe retailer which stocks brands including UGG, Gabor, Irregular Choice, and Barker.

Donaghys Shoes e-commerce director Peter McVeigh said: "We’re looking forward to working much more closely with Duo UK in the future, their price, short lead time and high quality product has impressed us to date and I’m sure will continue to impress us moving forward.”

The retailer, although it never used a branded mailing bag, has agreed the deal following demonstration by Duo which showed that buying large volume of branded bags would cost the same cost as an off-the-shelf plain grey bag.

Duo UK brand directorZoe Brimelow said: "As well as providing protection for a product in the post, packaging is a powerful marketing tool that can increase brand awareness and improve the customers shopping experience.

“Not only does branded packaging look professional but it can also increase the likelihood of repeat sales and recommendations."

Available in a range of design options, the polythene mailing bags are lightweight, durable, weatherproof, and cost-effective and are designed to offermaximum protection for product during transit.

Duo, which operates two polythene manufacturing sites in the UK, offers packaging products including luxury paper bags, fabric bags, gift boxes, tissue paper and ribbon.
