Blokker and Packit have been working together for years. Hanneke van Velzen, Customer Operations Manager at Packit, still remembers the familiar Handy drawstring bags. \u201cDespite the retailer’s turbulent past, with buyers coming and going, the relationship between our companies never completely disappeared. When the chain made a restart under the leadership of Roland Palmer, we were approached again. That is a wonderful recognition for us.\u201d <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cOur products match Blokker’s range,\u201d adds Sanne Blokland. As Account Manager at Packit, she is taking over Hanneke’s duties and is the fixed point of contact for Blokker. \u201cBlokker specializes in household items; we are the strategic partner for retailers in household categories. We supply Blokker with waste bags, household foils, and various sizes of bags, among other things. A newcomer is our XXL bag of an unprecedented size.\u201d \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u201cThe bag is very large,\u201d confirms Merle Kloosterman, Category Manager at Blokker. She provides the proof by climbing into the bag herself. \u201cAn air fryer or vacuum cleaner fits in with ease. Customers can now easily take these products with them. Thanks to the large handle, you can even carry the bag over your shoulder. This offers customers more convenience: the weight is better distributed and you have your hands free.\u201d <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u201cThe request for a large bag came from the stores,\u201d Merle continues. \u201cOur marketing department created a proposal. Packit translated this perfectly into an initial design. Also noteworthy is the fact that the bag is made of recycled material. We had a number of requirements the bag had to meet: large, sustainable, and a good price-quality ratio. Packit was able to meet all requirements, so the choice was easily made. In addition, they contribute great ideas and can switch gears quickly. The cooperation is very pleasant.\u201d <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Blokker (re)opened 12 branches on June 18, 2025, followed by another 10 a week later, and the retailer continued to grow through the summer to the current number of 56, including 12 franchisees. Merle: \u201cWe certainly see opportunities to intensify the cooperation with Packit. The next item will be rolling off the production line soon: our own brand of bio-waste bags. We hope to be fully visible in the shopping streets again in the future, both with our stores and our bags. On the day of the launch, 70 were sold immediately!\u201d <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
