Hi

We would like to ask a few questions regarding the printed or plain cable ties used as waste bag ties , and to just advise we are working with many trusts to get these products bought within the individual trusts budget for consumables , we have produced a few different options that still maintain tensile strength and quality , just to advise we make, print and store all within our facility and use no sub contractors .

1: Can you advise does the trust use plain or printed cable ties ?, even if you use them for other operations , if not would you consider starting to use them if a amicable budget can be found ?
2: What would be your annual usage
3: Can you advise the current price paid per thousand ?, if this is sensitive information please advise the price you would like to pay to fit your budget.
4: Advise the size of tie , colour and print required ?, we do offer a generic print or you can have department and wards to streamline waste better .
5: Name and email of the current waste manager
6: Address for samples if required .
7: Would bio degradable be of interest ?
