FAQs
What is chemical repacking and repackaging?
Chemical repacking and repackaging refers to the process of transferring chemical products from bulk or large-format containers into smaller, more manageable pack sizes suitable for storage, distribution or sale. The two terms are widely used interchangeably, though repackaging can sometimes imply a more involved process – such as replacing damaged containers or changing the pack format entirely. At Grotech, we handle both.
Why would a company outsource chemical repacking?
Outsourcing repacking removes the need for specialist equipment, warehouse space and trained operatives. It also allows businesses to receive bulk deliveries – often more cost-effective – and have them converted into sellable or usable pack sizes without tying up their own facilities. For importers and distributors in particular, it can significantly simplify the supply chain.
What types of chemicals do you repack?
We repack a wide range of chemical powders and liquids, including bicarbonates, salts, citric acid, minerals, carbonates, solvents, acids, alkalis, dyes, lubricants, suspensions and dispersions. If you’re unsure whether your product is suitable, get in touch to discuss further.
What is a kibble and sieve service?
Kibbling is the process of breaking down compacted or hardened powder back into a free-flowing, usable state. If powder products have clumped or solidified during storage or transit, we can kibble and sieve the material before repacking it – recovering product that might otherwise be written off.
What does UN-approved packaging mean?
UN-approved packaging has been tested and certified to meet international standards for the safe transport of hazardous and regulated materials. Where your product requires it, we can repack into UN-approved containers for both powders and liquids.
Is there a minimum or maximum batch size?
We accommodate variable batch sizes, from single pallet runs through to full bulk downloads. Get in touch to discuss your specific volumes and we’ll work around your requirements.
Can you handle imported bulk deliveries?
Yes. We regularly support importers and distributors who receive bulk deliveries and need them repacked before they can be distributed or sold. Our location close to the ports of Hull and Immingham makes us a convenient partner for businesses moving product through the Humber ports.
Do you offer labelling?
Yes, customised labelling is available.
