Cube Packaging Concept.

Results speak for themselves!

Smartcube versus Pail;

• Lower packaging costs by 40% to 70%
• Increase efficiency of handling unfilled packaging
  • 1 truck of Smartcubes can replace up to 60 trucks of pails.
  • Warehouse space is can be reduced by up to 60 times.
  • Trucking coordination, unloading and handling can be reduced by up to 60 times.
• Increase stacking efficiency on the shipping pallet by eliminating all of the air spaces between containers. 20 Smartcubes (5-gallon size) can fit on each layer on a standard shipping pallet (40” x 48”). Frequently they are stacked 5 – 6 layers high and the pallets are double or triple stacked in the warehouse.
• Resealable “flip-top-lids” provide similar functionality to resealable pails.

Smartcube versus Stand-up Pouch;

• Eliminate the corrugated box. Smartcubes stack and handle efficiently by themselves without the need for a containment box.
• Eliminate crushing. Smartcubes are structurally sound and can be stacked 5 – 6 layers high and the pallets can be double or triple stacked in the warehouse.
• Stand upright without the need for rigid film. The non deforming square shape of the Smartcube is derived from its structural design and not the film’s rigidity allowing the use of the full gambit of available film structures and not just PET. Whether you need oxygen, moisture or puncture resistant properties, we have the most efficient film structure available for your packaging needs including metalized films.

Smartcube versus Bag n Box or Corrugated box;

• Eliminate crushing. Smartcubes are structurally sound and can be stacked 5 – 6 layers high and the pallets can be double or triple stacked in the warehouse.
• Increase efficiency of handling unfilled packaging
  • 1 truck of Smartcubes can replace up to 13 trucks of boxes.
  • Warehouse space is can be reduced by up to 13 times.
  • Trucking coordination, unloading and handling can be reduced by up to 13 times.
• Packaging can be stored outside.

Sustainability. The reduction in packaging, trucking, warehousing and handling has a positive impact on the environmental footprint throughout the supply chain.

• Smartcube derives its strength from its design and not just the rigidity of the plastic film. Therefore film gauges can be reduced and in the case of a pail replacement, significantly less plastic is required.
• Due to the unique stackability of the Smartcubes® the need for shipping cases is eliminated.
• The compactness of Smartcubes filled and unfilled reduces trucking, warehousing and handling.
• Smartcube can be 100% recyclable.

Benefits Of Using Batch Inclusion Bags To Help The Environment

Batch Inclusion film or bags derive their name from the fact the bag itself,along with contents,is actually included in the production batch or during rubber compounding. The bag, once melted and dispersed, becomes part of the product being made. Batch inclusion bags typically hold chemical additives for large scale industries, such as synthetic rubber and plastic compounding. Often the additives involved are difficult to handle, weigh to little or are used to hard to dispense automatically. These could include colorants, fillers, resins and even some polymers for large scale mixing. Because the bag and its contents become part of the batch, the user will realize a cleaner environment, along with other benefits such as reduce labor cost, reduce disposal cost and clean up cost, better hygiene. The bags or film has a number of benefits like more efficient use of raw materials and a more consistent mixtures of compounds. Also, you will find the use of material in a sealed bag allows for a reduction in storage space when compared to an open container, such as metal containers or plastic and sometimes paper bags. As sealed bags can pile in a bin, cardboard boxes, tubs, or carts.
