Packaging review a win-win for all…..

Derek — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:03:52 +0000

Two months into our Packaging Review Initiative and we have many success stories to share. Several customers have enjoyed seeing new products and new solutions to age old problems….. as well as solutions to problems they didnt even know they had, but we’re discovered via the analysis. Some of the solutions have come in the form of new battery operated polyester strapping tools by ITW Signode and Fromm Packaging. We have successfully converted steel strap users to plastic strap, even traditionally unfeasible applications thru the utilization of Fromm’s new P330 cordless tool for 1″ polyester strap. We have also utilized Cold-Seal, Bubble-On-Demand, Foam-N-Place, high performance stretchfilm and non-traditional edge protection to improve efficiencies and lower overall packaging and operational costs for many other Packaging Analysis recipients. Thus far its been very successful and created solid partnerships resulting in a win-win scenario for all!
