As anticipation builds for the inaugural UKPackaging Expo this September (3rd– 4th September, Manchester Central), one exhibitor poised to make a strong impression is Datec Packaging. With their latest innovation, eComPack®, the company is setting new benchmarks in eCommerce packaging, and they’re heading to Manchester to show the industry exactly why this matters.
“We’ve not long launched our new patent-pending eComPack® product,” says Glenn Izard of Datec Packaging. “Exhibiting at the UKPackaging Expo is a fantastic opportunity to gain visibility in the Manchester area and connect with businesses that could benefit from this unique solution.”
eComPack®: smart, sustainable, scalable
Designed specifically for the fast-evolving demands of online retail, eComPack® addresses critical issues in the order packing process: speed, sustainability, and user experience. The product’s all-paper retention system not only eliminates the need for void fill packaging but also simplifies the recycling process for consumers. With increasing regulatory pressure such as the UK’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme and EU directives, solutions like eComPack® are quickly becoming essential.
“Our product is fully recyclable, uses high levels of recycled material, and is biodegradable,” Izard explains. “It also helps brands lower their EPR charges and reduces the environmental impact of their fulfilment operations. It’s scalable, efficient, and enhances the unboxing experience – all crucial factors in today’s competitive eCommerce landscape.”
Targeting leads and raising brand visibility
At the show, Datec Packaging will be focused on lead generation and brand awareness. The team is ready to make a compelling case to visitors through live product demonstrations, digital content, and giveaways designed to engage and educate.
“We want attendees to experience the practical benefits of eComPack® first-hand,” says Izard. “Seeing the speed of packing, the simplicity of the design, and the improved presentation really brings the innovation to life.”
Trends driving the future of packaging
Looking ahead, Izard sees broader changes shaping the industry, particularly in the realms of automation, digital manufacturing, and customisation.
“eCommerce packaging is being reshaped by sustainability, technology integration, and customer experience,” he says. “Brands are starting to use AI to optimise packaging size and performance, and digital printing is opening up new opportunities for seasonal and personalised messaging that resonates emotionally with consumers.”
A solution for the circular economy
While Datec’s focus is squarely on non-food sectors, their packaging ethos reflects a wider industry shift: from wasteful, mixed-material solutions to streamlined, intelligent, and sustainable alternatives. In eComPack®, they offer not just a product, but a blueprint for the future of responsible eCommerce packaging.
Visitors to UKPackaging Expo can expect to meet a team with a clear vision and a product that’s ready to scale and with sustainability and efficiency front of mind, Datec Packaging is one exhibitor that industry professionals won’t want to miss.
