PROBLEM SOLVING, TECHNICAL SUPPORT

and PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Over recent years we have been increasingly called upon to provide practical cost-effective solutions to particular requirements which do not fall into the normal area of packaging design and manufacturing activities.

We will continue to respond and develop this service.

Every solution will therefore be unique to an individual customer’s requirements.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

The NATIONAL GALLERY have undertaken instrumented monitoring experiments based on flights from London to Sydney and return in order to determine whether paintings which are stipulated to travel parallel to the direction of flight experience any quantifiable benefit. 

For these experiments Kent Services were tasked with supplying two near identical containers within which the cushioning system was designed and fitted out to accommodate specified frame sizes and weights.  Additionally we loaned to the National Gallery (Dr David Saunders) a SHOCKLOG monitoring device so as to enhance the collection of data on the levels of shock an vibration experienced during transportation.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT— a continuous process!!

NEW PRODUCTS AND MATERIAL SERVICES

We have  completed important modifications to our Island laminate Range (Fact Sheet 2) of containers—all designed to upgrade user-friendliness and performance at no extra cost.

The Principal  Features are:-

1. The fitting of quick release fasteners in lieu of captive screws/bolts

2. Simplification of lid removal and replacement

3. Heavier duty handles

4. Increased structural strength

5. Enhanced maintainability

Many of these cases have  been manufactured and are successfully transporting 2 and 3 dimensional Art Objects to world wide destinations. They are available through the KSL Museum and Galleries Container Leasing Service or for purchase outright.

LIGHTWEIGHT ‘HAND-CARRY’ SOLUTIONS

The two new products we introduced and announced in 2002 continue to gain favour and provide previously unheard of flexibility and protection.  Our Hi-Lite  range has been described by one of our many customers as ‘BRILLIANT’ .  In 2004 we undertook a programme of structural improvements to our CUSTOM.. RANGE (Fact Sheet 12) of hand carry containers, the results of which have been acknowledged by customers who have specified increasingly ‘heavy’ hand carryable objects

MATERIAL SERVICES

We have added 2 types of Security Seal to our Materials Small Quantity Service (Fact Sheet 14).
