Yes, u-can® – with a round pail

Saint Gobain Construction Products has launched three new types of repair kits under their trade mark u-can® for the British market. The selected pack - a big SuperLift® pail from RPC Superfos - is an ideal solution for protecting both plaster and tools.

Round pail meets square content in a new series of repair kits from Saint Gobain Construction Products sold under the trade mark u-can®. The all-in-one repair kit is targeted at British consumers who take on complex DIY tasks. One variety includes a square flexible wire mesh which must be kept flat and well protected until use. The functional SuperLift® pail, 8.7 litres, from RPC Superfos ensures this.

The unique selling point of the u-can® series is that all necessary items for a repair task at home are ready at hand in one single pack at the DIY retail store. It contains tools such as a texturing brush, a filling knife and two plastic bags with the plaster.

Pail contributes to customer satisfaction
Neil Fisher, Buyer, Central Purchasing Department, Saint Gobain Construction Products UK and Ireland, is pleased with the result:

“The SuperLift® solution fits our brief perfectly. In respect of the square wire mesh it is essential that it is well protected and stays perfectly flat so that our customers obtain a perfect result when they repair a hole in the wall. In this way the pail contributes to customer satisfaction with our products.”

Big and protective pack
The handy SuperLift® pail has a round conical shape and a protective collar that safeguards the lid and prevents ovalisation of the container. The big size leaves room for the square tool from Saint Gobain Construction Products. SuperLift® is available in an abundance of sizes from 2.1 to 21.6 litres.

As the repair kit is for more complex DIY tasks, some usage instructions on the pail are appropriate. For this purpose, the first-class in-mould labelling technique from RPC Superfos is an optimal solution. Text and pictograms are rendered in a clear and razor-sharp quality.

“The look of the pails is striking and the overall result fulfils every expectation that we had,” says Neil Fisher, who mentions that the project included a number of artwork changes over short time.

“Even though the time schedule was tight, RPC Superfos was very responsive and made things happen within the deadlines.”

The three types of u-can® repair kit is sold through the British multinational DIY retailing company B&Q.
