Environmental Sustainability Challenge
Interstate Container Reading was challenged by its customer, a top national school and office supplies business. The company needed to solve the problem of reducing corrugated packaging waste and costs while increasing the product placement visibility for its global retailer.
|
Solution
Rising to the challenge, the Interstate Container Reading creative design team utilized its innovative machinery, a Pacific 3.0 folder gluer with a Polyjoiner module, to develop and design a unique corrugated Box-In-Box system.
The module makes possible a number of novel design options, including a display tray on the inside with the outer box already attached to the outside. The resulting high-impact retail-friendly point-of-purchase (POP) display exceeds both their customer and retailer expectations.
This streamlined POP solution eliminates the need, steps and resources to go to co-packers, fulfillment centers or even packing off-line at the customer’s facility. By eliminating these time consuming and costly steps, the consolidated supply chain improves efficiencies, reduces the environmental impact of their overall carbon footprint and positively affects the bottom line for the consumer packaged goods (CPG) company and retailer.
Not only does Interstate Container Reading’s retail-ready packaging Box-In-Box get your product to market cheaper and faster…it looks better when it gets there, too.
The patent-pending Box-In-Box concept has been so well received that the retailer is investigating its viability for all their suppliers with similar products.
