Paper-based, cost-reducing packaging system debuts
Hexacomb designs HexStack system for larger liquid-filled bottles
Hexacomb Corporation (hexacomb.com), a leading manufacturer of paper-based protective packaging and graphic display boards, has engineered an improved “casing” method for transporting larger-sized liquid bottles. Initial customer feedback indicates an up to 75% cost reduction and/or improved load containment when compared to traditional secondary packaging methods.
To support growth in the bulk store retail channel, food and beverage processors are filling an increased number of larger-sized bottles for juice, sauce, vegetable oil, household cleaning products, etc. applications. Two common secondary packaging methods are corrugated cases with partitions or a combination corrugated tray/oriented strand board/shrink wrap approach. These traditional methods offer opportunity for an improved approach.
