Inland Empire Manufacturers Gain Greater Access to Packsize Z-fold as
Shift Toward Lean Packaging Systems Builds
SALT LAKE CITY, March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Packsize International
today announced the expansion of its z-FoldT corrugated production in
Southern California, which will provide greater access and improved
delivery times to the company's Inland Empire customers. A
proprietary, 97 percent recyclable corrugated material designed
specifically for On Demand Packaging@, z-FoldT gives Packsize
customers the ability to control time and costs associated with their
carton packaging.
Driven by several factors, including the need to balance operational
quality with innovation, a continued push toward lean manufacturing,
and the connected consumers' increased expectations for speedier
supplier response, Packsize continues to receive strong adoption of On
Demand Packaging@ across U.S. manufacturing sectors, including
Southern California, which accounts for more than half of all
manufacturing establishments in that state.
The expanded production for z-FoldT from a paper mill outside of
Fresno will increase Packsize delivery times by at least 95 percent in
Southern California. "While reducing the delivery distance and carbon
footprint for our customers is important in meeting demand
requirements for this region, these customers will continue to derive
the best that On Demand Packaging@ offers, including less waste, lower
shipping costs, decreased damage rates, and increased customer
satisfaction," said CEO Hanko Kiessner.
Available to customers of its automated packaging machines, Packsize
z-FoldT can be creased, cut, and scored into an infinite number of box
styles and sizes. Packsize z-FoldT is free from quality defects and
provides the customer with a box yield that meets their packaging
requirements on any given day.
Corrugated packaging continues to have broad appeal among packaging
buyers and end-users alike and remains today an environmentally
preferable method for product delivery. This type of packaging is
versatile, cost-effective, allows for customization, and lends itself
to product protection during shipping.
