A major
worldwide supplier of thermoplastic elastomer granules
was using a stretched octagonal, but wanted to standardise
on a regular octagonal IBC using the CP8 pallet,
the chemical industry norm. |
| The
ingenious replacement IBC incorporates the tray
within the sleeve design, so reducing the pack components
by one. The flaps are die-cut and fold to give a
crash-lock closure, which considerably reduces the
difficulty of make-up. During the folding of the
flaps external ‘ears’ are formed squaring
out the base of the case. This gives a safer fit
to the pallet and can be used to secure the pack
to the pallet. |
| With
the tray being redundant, and hence no potential
gap around the sleeve, the problem of product seepage,
which was running at 3%, has been fully eliminated. |

As a consequence
of ‘pool’ pallets now being used there is less control
over the conditions that they meet, and for instance their relative
dryness. To offset any possibility of water affecting the strength
of the fibreboard pack, an Acrylex coating is applied to the
container to increase its water resistance. |
| The replacement pack has enhanced
the corporate image whilst proving to be a more user-friendly
packaging system. It has met with all pan European requirements
whilst dramatically reducing packaging make-up time. |
