Our next Vendies Finalist in the spotlight is Benders. Here’s what they have to say about why you should give them your vote.
So, are you wondering how to cast your vote when it comes to ‘Best Cup’? Then allow us to explain in just a few words why, when it comes to voting, just as when it comes to buying paper cups, your best choice is Benders.
RANGE: With over 100 years of heritage and expertise behind us, Benders Paper Cups is synonymous with ‘quality’.
We make great cups, and lots of them. First and foremost, it goes without saying, is our iconic Single Wall cup; the go-to choice of many of the UK’s leading operators – but talk about ‘back-up’! We offer a Barrier Insulated cup, an Embossed Double Wall cup and a Super Insulated cup, too.
RESPONSIBILITY: We’ve always recognised that ‘corporate social responsibility’ is a duty to be taken seriously and we cut no corners. We demand the highest manufacturing quality standards, with full Chain of Custody accreditation. All our cups are manufactured in the UK in our BRC/IOP A-Grade factory using paperboard from PEFC-accredited sustainable managed forests. Every cup fully meets the requirements of the European Timber Regulations and can be traced back from our production facility to the certified forest where its journey began..
BENCHMARK: In 2014, Connect Vending announced its intention to discontinue the use of plastic cups in favour of using our top-quality paper ones. We were delighted and proud that Connect saw our cups as way of enhancing its green credentials whilst, at the same time, enhancing the consumers’ experience by setting a new benchmark for quality.
ENGAGEMENT: Did you know that the full height of the outer walls of Benders’ paper cups can be custom-printed in up to six environmentally sensitive, water-based inks?
That’s why Bender’s cups have become a potent sales tool for many of our customers. We can print any message or image they like on our cups. The Broderick Group, for instance, is interacting with customers by using our cups to promote its social media sites. There’s no better way to engage with a coffee drinker: talk about ‘in your face’!
CONQUEST: At Benders, we’re committed to helping the vending industry grow and to playing our part in the conquest of new business opportunities. Take the design and functionality of Benders’ Embossed Double Wall cup, for example. It’s a cup that has opened the door for operators to compete in the leisure and public vending sectors, as well the HoReCa market.
The structure of this distinctive cup, with its unique, Swirl emboss, makes it comfortable to hold and provides great insulation – perfect for situations in which the drink has to be carried some way from the point of service. The design of the emboss has been executed so that each cup separates from a stack and drops easily, making it perfect in busy retail or quick-service environments.
VOTE: Vote for us, and we’ll continue to serve the vending constituency as your ‘Honoured Member For Cups’. Vote for us, and we’ll continue to work hard so that you can offer your customers the increased benefits of and better vending service. And if you don’t vote for us, we’ll keep up the good work anyway.
We’ll leave you with this last thought… When it comes to voting, just as when it comes to buying paper cups, your best choice is Benders.
