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.

Understanding Flexographic Printing

Flexographic printing is defined as a method of direct rotary printing that uses special rubber or photopolymer material. The printing plates are affixed to plate cylinders of various repeat lengths, which are inked by a cell structure (anolox roll) which is used to meter the flow of the ink on roll. It carries a fast drying fluid ink to the plates that print on a variety of substrates (paper / plastic / nylon / polypropylene / cellophane / LDPE / LLDPE / etc.).

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.

Cube Packaging / Reduce Your Packaging / Save Space

The Cube will help reduce your packaging and palletize for ease of transportation. Some key advantages that the Cube packaging system offers over traditional lay flat bags are as follows.

• Increase Sales due to instant billboard, stand up presentation of bag, enabling a ready made display directly from the pallet.
• Reduse waste and damage due to strong bi-axially oriented laminated structures used and the size of bags being perfectly matched to the pallet demensions eliminating over hang and therefore damage.
• Reduce transportation and storage costs due to efficiency of the cube shape enables all truck loads of finished products weigh out at the maximum allowable wieght, approximately 150,000 empty units are able to be shipped per truck load and the pallets of empty bags and finished goods are strong enough to allow pallets to be stacked, maximizing warehouse space.
• Optimize retail shelf space utilization by being able to fully stack the shelves and yet the stand up presentation style makes the bag fully visible. Customers report that 20 Cube bags enables a pallet to be sized to utilize all of the space that is present beneath a shelf.

Growth in Stand Up Pouches

Stand Up Pouches have altered the face of consumer packaging for such products as coffee, fruit juice, and soup mixes, yet they have a definite use for industrial applications as well. Using materials such as metalized films, foil lamination's, and custom blended barrier films, stand up pouches are constructed to not only be appealing but functional. Re-sealable zip lock closures; release valves, ultra clear films, and even pour spouts. Stand up pouches give retailers new opportunities to display products and maximize shelf space and manufacturers reduce their packaging costs by eliminating the "old style" bag-in-a-box method of packaging. Two types of printing of pouches are Rotogravure and Flexographic printing depending on the quantity of stand up pouches needed and the particular printing scheme required by your clients. The wide face of the stand-up pouch is perfect for an elaborate label or high quality print design.

There are three fundamental types of stand pouches:

Round bottom gusset stand pouches are one of the most common pouches in existence. In a round bottom gusset stand pouch, it is the welded edge of the material that provides the support that hold ups the package and allows it to “stand” in position. 

K-Seal pouch reaches a certain size it is not possible for it hold up the weight of the product while resting on the sealed edge of the material.

Plow Bottom is also called a corner seal. This style of pouch has grown rapidly in popularity especially among food product packagers and granular items like sugar and bath salts. In this case, the material that is in the package sits directly on the shelf. Pre-made plow bottom pouches replicate the appearance of pouches produced on automatic form fill and seal machinery, perhaps another reason for why they are gaining in popularity.

Woven Polyproplene Bags

A majority of pet owners have experienced the convenience of buying pet food in bulk: it means fewer trips to the store and in most cases a significant cost savings. But for many people, these benefits are quickly forgotten when they go to lift a bag of pet food, only to have the bag rip and spill all over the floor, while still at the retail location, or even later when they have already purchased the item and transported it home.

 

The traditional paper bags used to hold pet food can be endlessly aggravating – for consumers and retailers alike. Consumers can be frustrated by overly-heavy bags that rip and tear too easily, and retailers and suppliers are oftentimes forced to absorb the extra costs that come with replacing defective product, and cleaning up after the inevitable spill.

 

Packaging manufacturers are all too familiar with these frustrations, and have developed a product specifically designed to overcome some of the annoying drawbacks of large, multi-wall paper sacks. Woven polypropylene bags consist of thousands of strands of plastic woven together to form a fabric-like sheet that is very strong and extremely durable, and capable of carrying well over fifty pounds without any problems. They are also extremely stable, and rarely will they rip or burst when dropped.

 

In recent years, woven polypropylene bags have been extensively adopted by the agricultural and manufacturing industries, most commonly used to hold animal feed, sand, produce, grain, minerals, salt, chemicals, fertilizers, cement, coffee, sugar, wood pellets, bio-mass and much more. The bags can be custom printed with a logo and text on one or two sides and come in a variety of sizes. They can also be readily customized with gussets, anti-slip coatings, laminations, and treated to be UV-resistant. Many manufacturers of pet products have been particularly pleased with smaller bags, as their weight can be kept at a reasonable amount so that women, the largest buyers of pet food, can handle them more readily.

 

While paper bags have been the traditional packaging used in selling pet food, manufacturers of these types of products have grown weary of absorbing the costs that come with the need to replace bags on retailers’ floors. In addition, woven polypropylene bags are made from plastic, so they are inherently water-resistant. They will not smudge, sag, or get soggy, so they will still be sellable even after inclement weather. This is good news for retailers, many of whom have been looking to put pet food outside the store to make room for more profitable items within. Packaging that is weather-resistant increases retailers’ merchandising options, and decreases the risk of damaged product.

 

Heavey Duty shipping sacks are changing to woven polypropelene bags to eliminate waste especially dealing in big box stores. Improved flexo printing and lamination on woven polypropelene makes a very attractive package.

Wood Pellets - Renewable Energy

What is Pellet Fuel?

Pellet fuel is a renewable, clean-burning and cost stable home heating alternative currently used throughout North America. It is a biomass product made of renewable substances – generally recycled wood waste. There are approximately 800,000 homes in the U.S. using wood pellets for heat, in freestanding stoves, fireplace inserts and even furnaces. Pellet fuel for heating can also be found in such large-scale environments as schools and prisons. North American pellets are produced in manufacturing facilities in United States and Canada, and are available for purchase at fireplace dealers, nurseries, building supply stores, feed and garden supply stores and some discount merchandisers.

In short, pellet fuel is a way to divert millions of tons of waste from landfills and turn it into energy

Benefits of using Batch Inclusion Bags are they improve quality and batch uniformity insures 100% compound ingredients go into the mixing of the material when doing in house weighing, batch inclusion bags eliminate the risk of cross-contamination due to chemical residue in tubs and weighing containers. Will increases productivity and eliminates the need to weigh ingredients in-house through the use of having the product weighed and ready to be thrown into a batch of rubber also eliminates the need to clean out tubs and weighing containers. Reduces the amount of solid waste disposal going into the land fills. You will have less product loss due to spillage and minimizes the accumulation of costly additives in the dust collectors. The idea is to minimizes worker exposure to hazardous materials.
