Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/25/2016 -- It has been reported that leading supermarket brands are planning on shrinking packets and using cheaper ingredients, this is due to the sterling dropping by 10% after Brexit, consequently pushing up prices of imported ingredients. However, it was noted that many supermarkets are decreasing the size of some products such as toilet roll however the customer is still paying the same price, therefore getting less and paying more.
It has been said that many supermarkets were worried about the increase in prices, and Tesco have recently decided to unstock certain products, for example, Marmite. Tesco's aim is to keep their loyal customers happy by unstocking products where the price will increase dramatically due to Brexit.
A spokesperson from leading shrink wrap machinery supplier Sontex was keen to comment saying, "Everyone at Sontex were shocked at what some supermarkets are doing to reduce the price of the products however, shrinking the packaging is a great way to save money and make customers happy. Here at Sontex we provide a variety of shrink wrapping machines, this doesn't just provide good quality packaging which increases sales but also using shrink wrapping machines isn't a strenuous, time consuming task. For those looking to save money on packaging shrink wrapping presents a great option and we anticipate that going forward even more companies are going to make the transition, for further information please do not hesitate to get in contact."
