Systempak containers are designed and intended for the foods industry and are, as such, approved accordingly. However, these containers are used by customers for a multitude of products ranging from engineering components to pharmaceuticals to the soap industry.
Our containers are trialled and tested by us and our partners as empty containers. The containers will behave differently dependant on their filling, filling method and storage. Due to the vast number of potential variables, Systempak is unable to categorically state how a container will behave for a specific product in a given condition. Customers should always trial and test before the main production.
The onus lies with the client to check every consignment on receipt of delivery. Systempak will accept no claims for shortages etc beyond a 5 day period from the date of receipt. Owing to prevailing conditions brought on by the Covid-19 situation, we can no longer guarantee next day delivery for the foreseeable future.
Please be advised due to prevailing logistics we are unable to accept any claims which exceed three months from date of delivery.
Containers are suitable for contact with hot filling (85 -95oC) and short-term use within a microwave. Packaging must be tested by the customer with the actual product before approval for use at hot temperatures. It is suggested that when hot filling support is used under the skirt when lidding.
The material, when subject to hot filling temperatures, will become flexible and its ability to stack will be impeded until ambient temperature is reached.
Freezing conditions require special resins which are available on request, enabling -32oC. Standard empty containers are tested to -18oC. Customers should internally test their own produce/fill.
Customers should conduct internal trials to determine the viability of stacking as each customer has different fill products/produce and procedures.
This product complies with the European Union Commission Regulation No 10/2011/EC with amendments, relating to materials and articles intended to come into contact with food unless otherwise stated. By following EU legislation, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the supplied product is suitable for the intended use.
The compliance of the product to the technical specifications in the data-sheet is guaranteed for 12 months after the date of the delivery subject to suitable storage.
Suitable storage includes protecting the product from direct sunlight, rain, ingress of moisture, very low temperatures and very high temperatures
Deviations in the product specification from the datasheet of 0.025% or less are considered acceptable in the industry and cannot be construed as a defect.
Please note you will not necessarily receive an equal amount of containers and lids when purchasing in bulk formation, this is largely due to the standard carton size used.
The Consumer Contracts Act 2015 makes provision for the fact that the purchaser of on line goods has not had the chance to sample the goods in advance of purchase. The following does not apply if a customer received a sample product from Systempak in advance of their purchase:
In the unlikely event that a previously requested sample was obtained from Systempak and used as the basis for an order which is subsequently declared as unwanted, then provided:
then a ‘credit note’ will be provided against the original price of the goods purchased. This will not include any shipping costs.
The Consumer Rights Act of 2015 directs that customers have the right to expect non-faulty or damaged goods. Whilst we endeavour to supply damage-free goods, regrettably, damage may occur at some point before our goods are received by the customer. Customers are fully protected by the relevant legislation, but we do ask customers to work with us in improving our service. In the event of damage do not return goods directly, Systempak will arrange collection.
We ask that customers notify us as soon as is practical via [email protected]. Unless irrefutable proof exists, it is difficult for Systempak to claim against either the courier or factory responsible:
On receipt of your email with details and photographs, we will assess the situation and contact you. Our offer to you, based on the extent of the damage and/or inconvenience, may include, but not be limited to:
Reported damage constituting less than 2.5% of the items received (e.g. 6 from a consignment of 250) is deemed to be within the satisfactory quality tolerance and a refund would not normally be considered.
Regardless of our good intent above, the law states:
Customers have 30 days to reject their consignment as damaged goods for a full refund if that’s what they chose to do. Contact us via [email protected] and Systempak will arrange collection.
When goods have been receipted more than 30 days, but less than 6 months, customers have the right to declare the goods as faulty. A full description of how the product has been stored, used and a detailed description of the fault is required to initiate the investigation. Please email this information to [email protected]. Refunds will be made if it is determined that a fault in the product, not attributed to its handling and usage contrary to its design was present at the time of purchase.
When goods have been receipted more than 6 months then the customer must prove the fault was present at the time of purchase
We aim to hold our prices constant despite fluctuating exchange rates, changes in raw material prices, the price of fuel or situations not forseen that cause an impact on the prices e.g. Covid . Large changes in these factors may result in some prices increasing, without warning, although the reverse is also true and we have been able to reduce prices when the £sterling has rallied against other currencies. Our standard policy is to maintain prices for 3 months at a time, although unprecedented market changes would force earlier reviews.
Containers and Lids (Goods) are priced with the following options:
1. A single carton rate.
2. A four carton rate.
3. An 8 or 10 carton rate depending on the item quantity per pallet
4. A pallet rate
5. A 3 pallet rate
6. Bulk Stock quotes - tailored for larger orders. The time limitation for acceptance and purchase order of Bulk Stock is printed on the quote. The exchange rate used for the quote is also incorporated and Systempak reserve the right to change the £sterling cost of a quote based on sudden market variations. Prices in € on a quote represent a fixed price per 1000 items.
Delivery prices are not shown until checkout and various prices are applied depending on the customer location and the number of goods purchased. In many instances, a charge for delivery does not apply. For full information on delivery timelines and prices click here
