WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.820 People everywhere need and want pretty much the same things. 2 00:00:25.820 --> 00:00:31.820 Foodstuffs, clothing, furniture, appliances and so on down a long long list. 3 00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:37.500 This is the broad general reality of the marketplace. The market is everywhere. 4 00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:42.980 The other side of this all-embracing reality is that producers, the people who 5 00:00:42.980 --> 00:00:47.720 supply what people need and want, are not everywhere. They can't be. 6 00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:54.000 A furniture maker in North Carolina could well be working on an order for California. 7 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.860 At the same time, a flower grower in California is filling an order for New York. 8 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.180 And a brewer in Minnesota is filling orders for communities far from the 9 00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:11.520 availability of hops and malt and old world traditions replanted. 10 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:19.500 The point is, both sides, producer and consumer alike, are dependent on the total 11 00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:24.440 sources of physical distribution to make this basic and vital exchange possible. 12 00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:30.460 There are of course many ways to move products to market, but taking everything 13 00:01:30.460 --> 00:01:36.040 into account, there are no inexpensive ways to do it. For another part of the 14 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.780 marketing reality is that movement and storage of goods from production to 15 00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:46.100 consumption add up to the third highest cost of doing business, being surpassed 16 00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:52.180 only by costs of material and labor. As the holding, moving, protecting link 17 00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:57.080 between production and consumption, the package is the one element common to the 18 00:01:57.080 --> 00:02:02.720 whole process of physical distribution. Container Corporation of America, as a 19 00:02:02.720 --> 00:02:07.920 major designer and producer of packaging, is primarily concerned with bringing the 20 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:13.180 performance of this infinitely versatile resource of distribution to higher levels 21 00:02:13.180 --> 00:02:14.040 of achievement. 22 00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:29.400 Packaging, as a general term, relates to far more than we can adequately cover 23 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:34.440 here. What the container division means by packaging is the broad range of 24 00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:42.400 shipping containers that gets goods of all kinds from producer to consumer. In 25 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.980 the same way, it's a very complex process that everybody knows. The best way to 26 00:02:44.980 --> 00:02:49.900 understand the full scope of this area of packaging is to see it at work all the 27 00:02:49.900 --> 00:02:56.220 way. Take that basic box. If it just sat there to be filled and emptied, it would 28 00:02:56.220 --> 00:03:01.220 be a pretty simple design problem, materially, structurally, and graphically. 29 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.340 But holding things is not the end and all of the container's function. It has to 30 00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:13.180 carry things. Before it leaves the production site, it is set up, filled, 31 00:03:13.940 --> 00:03:23.580 conveyed, closed, sealed, picked up, carried, stacked, unstacked, carried again, 32 00:03:23.940 --> 00:03:29.100 and loaded into some kind of carrier. All of this, mind you, before it leaves its 33 00:03:29.100 --> 00:03:33.720 production point, the one environment where it can expect sympathetic treatment. 34 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:40.880 Once away from home base, that container, carrying and hopefully protecting your 35 00:03:40.880 --> 00:03:46.760 product, comes face to face with a continuing series of moments of truth, many of them 36 00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:51.480 rough moments, which are the reality of every product's physical distribution life. 37 00:03:52.380 --> 00:04:00.820 And it is physical. Whether your product travels by road, rail, water, air, or some 38 00:04:00.820 --> 00:04:07.840 combination of these, it is shaken, bumped, pitched, rolled, pushed, pulled, 39 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:16.160 jarred, jolted, and randomly compressed from all sides across as many miles and 40 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:22.340 through as many hours as are necessary to get it there. Subsequently, it is 41 00:04:22.340 --> 00:04:29.580 offloaded and re-handled out, down, around, up, over, and back again for more 42 00:04:29.580 --> 00:04:33.560 falling along road, street, alley, and dock. 43 00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:41.740 From all of this, you can see why every container corporation structural designer 44 00:04:41.740 --> 00:04:46.360 can assume that mobility will be a function of the performance of any container he is 45 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.800 called on to design. In point of fact, he assumes nothing. He will know the 46 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:56.860 specifics of performance each structure must accommodate across a broad range of 47 00:04:56.860 --> 00:05:01.760 packaging responsibilities, and these specifics can vary widely from application 48 00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:08.680 to application. When the structural designer at any one of the division 30-odd 49 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:13.400 plants selects the board for his current assignment, he is far from being alone in 50 00:05:13.400 --> 00:05:18.280 his judgments. He can call on the experience of any or all of the other plants and 51 00:05:18.280 --> 00:05:23.360 mills in the corporation, plus the active involvement of highly specialized staff 52 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:28.840 departments at any point in his considerations. Central to packaging 53 00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:33.180 performance across the board is the division's technical services laboratory in 54 00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:38.080 Carroll Stream, Illinois. It is no exaggeration to say that this laboratory 55 00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:43.200 wrote much of the book on testing procedures for the industry. Moreover, the results 56 00:05:43.200 --> 00:05:49.360 of their continuing activities receive wide press coverage here and abroad. There are 57 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:55.000 tests conducted here that require months to complete. Others are short, direct, 58 00:05:55.460 --> 00:06:00.480 and immediately recordable. Tests that determine ability of containers or container 59 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:06.920 materials to endure the physical abuses of distribution are basic. These include tests 60 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:19.520 for compression strength, tearing strength, puncture resistance, bursting, 61 00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:28.120 crushing, dropping, vibration, and shock. But ability to withstand physical abuse does 62 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:33.280 not complete the container's responsibility. Evaluation of surface coatings to protect 63 00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:38.840 against grease migration or for minimizing abrasion or for permitting easy release of 64 00:06:38.840 --> 00:06:45.660 contents represent other important areas of laboratory concern. Resolution of unusual 65 00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:56.580 gluing problems is another. And with the growing emphasis of graphic expression on 66 00:06:56.580 --> 00:07:01.660 many categories of shipping containers, printability of various container surface treatments 67 00:07:01.660 --> 00:07:08.340 and durability of the inks that print them get a lot of laboratory attention. The effects 68 00:07:08.340 --> 00:07:13.740 of temperature and humidity extremes in situations that accurately simulate the range of 69 00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:19.540 transport and storage conditions containers often meet in real life dramatize the laboratory's 70 00:07:19.540 --> 00:07:28.520 facility depth. And graphic documentation of the effects of contaminants and infestations 71 00:07:28.520 --> 00:07:33.600 of customers' containers attest to the variety of problems that come in from the field. 72 00:07:36.220 --> 00:07:41.080 Problems solved here at the Technical Services Laboratory not only render valuable service to 73 00:07:41.080 --> 00:07:46.080 the originating plant and its customers, but enhance further the comprehensive background 74 00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:52.860 of information so important to overall packaging service by the whole division. So the structural 75 00:07:52.860 --> 00:07:58.580 designer knows the performance capabilities of the materials he specifies. On this knowledge, 76 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:05.540 he can build purposefully and innovatively. Structural innovation made an important contribution 77 00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:10.060 to the packaging of chairs at the United Furniture Company's plant in Ronda, North Carolina. 78 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.420 The good basic box did not always fully protect chairs and shipment. The problem being to 79 00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:20.220 accommodate leg spreads of varying width in the same size container. 80 00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:45.860 The innovative solution by Container Corporation's designers was the tube and rail, 81 00:08:46.380 --> 00:08:56.580 a simple device shipped flat and assembled on the site. Easily adaptable to any spread dimension, 82 00:08:57.060 --> 00:09:01.820 the tube and rail permits solid interlock of product and container and safe arrival through 83 00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:03.940 all the normal hazards of distribution. 84 00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:33.920 Structural innovation can relate to brute strength where this quality is a requirement. 85 00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:39.480 The development of laminated bulk shipping containers has dramatically raised the level 86 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:45.760 of container capacity, making paperboard a stellar performer in a demanding area of distribution. 87 00:10:01.380 --> 00:10:06.960 One thousand pound loads of plastic pellets for the Clinton, Iowa plant of the Chemplex Corporation 88 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:13.160 is an example of the Container Division's extra dimension at work. With a half ton load inside, 89 00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:18.960 there is more than enough extra strength to support additional external stacking pressures. 90 00:10:36.520 --> 00:10:41.000 Half a continent away in the Kingsburg, California plant of Sunmade Raising Growers, 91 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.820 another version of brute strength. This time, Container Corporation's Dynacore bulk shipper 92 00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:51.040 accommodates 1,500 pounds of raisins for shipment to institutional customers. 93 00:10:52.300 --> 00:10:57.200 Moreover, they do it over and over again. Each entry on the container's lock represents 94 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:01.840 one 1,500 pound load of raisins safely delivered. Prior to this development, 95 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:06.920 30 pounds was the standard for bulk shipments of raisins. So this structural innovation 96 00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:14.860 has produced a 50 to 1 improvement. Even a casual observation of the stages of laminated bulk container 97 00:11:14.860 --> 00:11:20.200 fabrication shows the integral nature of its strength. Lamination is the key. 98 00:11:20.920 --> 00:11:26.840 First, through the inner double wall tube to the outer container and subsequently of the double four inch glue lamp. 99 00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:32.120 This makes the glue joint corner as strong as the other three corners of the finished container, 100 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:35.700 a result superior to either taping or stitching. 101 00:12:03.300 --> 00:12:09.660 The safe and expeditious distribution of flowers is a quantum jump from the problems of bulk shipment. 102 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:15.100 But their special requirements of container designers are equally exacting. 103 00:12:38.620 --> 00:12:43.580 Set up in the growers' own packing facilities in the Encinitas, California area, 104 00:12:44.160 --> 00:12:49.360 these containers must fully protect their delicate cargoes while facilitating repeated handling 105 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:56.140 into and out of air freight collecting stations and trucking to the San Diego Air Terminal. 106 00:13:00.800 --> 00:13:05.760 Transfer to jet flights eastward sets these containers on course for far away markets. 107 00:13:17.580 --> 00:13:21.220 Others will be open for business in markets closer to their points of origin. 108 00:13:35.380 --> 00:13:36.020 Container Corporation 109 00:13:45.660 --> 00:13:51.220 Container Corporation has a long history of close involvement with growers, not just of flowers, 110 00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:54.260 but of the full range of produce all over the country. 111 00:13:54.880 --> 00:13:59.720 In a King City, California packing plant, a large volume of tomatoes is the focal point. 112 00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:03.880 And as in the case of many another high production situation, 113 00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:08.220 a mechanical packaging installation helps packaging keep pace. 114 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.340 In this instance, an automatic former sets up the basic tomato box. 115 00:14:23.780 --> 00:14:29.040 Special inserts are added by hand prior to conveying completed containers into the packing room. 116 00:15:04.220 --> 00:15:09.560 While the elimination of all manual activity on the packaging line is not always feasible, 117 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:15.280 it is an ideal usually fostered by Container Corporation's mechanical packaging specialists. 118 00:15:15.280 --> 00:15:21.080 A fairly typical challenge was presented by the American Kitchen Foods Company in Caribou, Maine, 119 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:26.600 where an automated folding carton packaging line fed sealed cartons of frozen french fries 120 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.700 into a manual case packing operation. 121 00:15:29.640 --> 00:15:32.900 Not only was a frantic pace required to handle the upstream output, 122 00:15:33.540 --> 00:15:39.200 but there was poor utilization of space because of the location of the case sealer in another section of the plant. 123 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:45.960 The solution, effected by the joint efforts of American Kitchen Foods Company and the Mechanical Packaging Department, 124 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.940 combined case loading and sealing in one highly efficient compact unit. 125 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:55.500 Also changed was the package to a less expensive wrap pack container, 126 00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:58.620 accurately and securely formed around its contents. 127 00:15:59.340 --> 00:16:05.400 In addition to an improved container, the new system improves production efficiency and floor space utilization. 128 00:16:05.400 --> 00:16:14.500 The wrap pack container and Concora wrap machinery combination is easily adaptable to a variety of product sizes, shapes and densities. 129 00:16:15.420 --> 00:16:20.180 A change of both pace and product characterizes another mechanical packaging installation. 130 00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:27.040 This one in the Perry, Iowa plant of Oscar Meyer Company, focal point of an important accomplishment in meat packaging. 131 00:16:28.260 --> 00:16:34.160 Here the basic challenge was to move the packaging of pork loins away from the long established dominance 132 00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:36.320 of wire bound wooden containers. 133 00:16:37.540 --> 00:16:41.920 The structural requirements included an unusual length to width proportion 134 00:16:41.920 --> 00:16:46.400 with heavy reinforcing of side walls to accommodate density of product. 135 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:54.040 These and other special conditions were met by the adaptation of an unusual version of the design style tray. 136 00:16:55.080 --> 00:17:01.780 The converging of elongated end flaps at the center of the container side walls greatly reinforced this critical area. 137 00:17:08.840 --> 00:17:15.220 Top flanges add further stiffness and a reinforcing inner ledge for extra stacking strength. 138 00:17:16.520 --> 00:17:20.500 Machinery for setting up and sealing this container was provided in two units 139 00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:24.840 because of the hand packing operation that must occur between forming and sealing. 140 00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:34.420 Precise forming is very important both for proper alignment and gluing of end flaps to container sides 141 00:17:34.420 --> 00:17:38.360 and for trouble free passage of filled containers through automatic sealing. 142 00:17:39.360 --> 00:17:43.080 This new development has been enthusiastically received in the meat industry. 143 00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:46.060 Continuing refinements will broaden its application. 144 00:17:59.100 --> 00:18:04.660 No coverage of high performance packaging can overlook the rugged versatility of solid fiber 145 00:18:04.660 --> 00:18:07.660 well known for its wide use in the beverage industry. 146 00:18:08.460 --> 00:18:15.460 At the Grain Belt Brewery in Minneapolis, a line of returnable beer carriers brings these sturdy cases back for yet another refill. 147 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:22.540 In another part of the brewery, a prototype former installed by Container Corporation more than a decade ago 148 00:18:22.540 --> 00:18:26.020 feeds new one piece beer carriers into the packaging stream. 149 00:18:31.620 --> 00:18:38.420 Using the same material in a different configuration, a new former developed by the division's mechanical packaging department 150 00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:42.360 sets up three piece beer carriers in a completely automated installation. 151 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:17.860 The strength and durability of solid fiber board, long proved in beverage carriers and other containers, 152 00:19:17.860 --> 00:19:22.240 is coping dramatically with the challenges of a broader area of involvement. 153 00:19:23.140 --> 00:19:26.940 Moving great quantities of goods, but not as packaging. 154 00:19:28.780 --> 00:19:34.860 In the form of pallet pads, this Container Corporation development demonstrates its many advantages over wood pallets. 155 00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:41.980 Among them, lower cost, less bulk, less weight, and freedom from splintering. 156 00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:52.060 In well run warehouses and transfer centers across the land, the pallet pad is proving and reproving its utility to the burgeoning science of material flow. 157 00:19:53.280 --> 00:19:57.760 Container Corporation's interest and involvement in this area is no casual happenstance. 158 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:05.940 Across many years and many millions of miles of getting all kinds of things to all kinds of places on all kinds of demanding schedules, 159 00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:15.120 we have learned a lot about material flow and its close relative material handling, much of it far removed from packaging per se. 160 00:20:16.120 --> 00:20:23.560 And since the lessons of these experiences are continuously updated, we pass them along to interested customers as a special service. 161 00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:29.460 One way we pass them along is through Container Corporation's regional traffic offices, 162 00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:36.740 where services include helping our customers better control the direct costs of transporting their products to market. 163 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.960 Packaging has become a prime consideration in the determination of freight rates. 164 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:48.700 Size, weight, style, and construction of a product's container can profoundly affect its transportation costs. 165 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:57.080 A difference of one inch in container dimension saved one of our customers 40% in shipping costs. 166 00:20:57.900 --> 00:21:02.360 Separating product components into two containers saved 80% for another. 167 00:21:03.340 --> 00:21:13.880 While these examples may well be considered unusual, they do help dramatize the importance of experienced counseling as a counter to the steadily increasing costs of basic transportation. 168 00:21:15.460 --> 00:21:26.120 Counseling on material handling can range from something as basic as the physical dimensions of loading docks to the design of total systems for movement of goods in distribution centers. 169 00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:30.740 The total systems approach is a growing factor in the performance of packaging. 170 00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:40.000 How a shipping container performs on and through sophisticated conveyor systems, where printed codes automatically activate route selection, is one example. 171 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:49.240 How containers holding heavy appliances stand up under repeated multiple stacking operations is another. 172 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:55.680 Here, of course, the home environment is friendly, but the pace is too fast to permit coddling. 173 00:22:33.180 --> 00:22:34.580 Music 174 00:22:48.260 --> 00:22:53.740 In any event, sophisticated systems are by no means guaranteed further down the distribution line. 175 00:22:54.480 --> 00:23:01.680 There are still plenty of the long, familiar conventional warehouses where your products have to make it through less than ideal conditions. 176 00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:07.680 In such situations, everything the container has going for it will be useful and perhaps vital. 177 00:23:09.100 --> 00:23:17.180 Long stands in the varying conditions of storage will make good use of those extra qualities built in by technical services laboratory specifications. 178 00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:20.820 Getting out of warehouses can be a problem also. 179 00:23:21.340 --> 00:23:28.360 When your product's number is called, the performance of the distribution graphics of its container will make or not make its point. 180 00:23:33.820 --> 00:23:34.540 Music 181 00:23:35.360 --> 00:23:48.580 By making the harried order picker's job easier, your container's graphics will ensure expeditious retrieval and movement of its contents from the storage to the merchandising arena, a critical transition by any measure. 182 00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:54.800 For most shipping containers, arrival at the retail market outlet marks the end of the line. 183 00:23:54.800 --> 00:24:02.860 With its demanding assignment of shepherding physical distribution successfully completed, these containers can be honorably discharged. 184 00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:12.640 This kind of job well done conclusion applies to something like 85% of the shipping containers used in today's distribution channels. 185 00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:23.940 For the statistically smaller segment, but nevertheless very large quantity of containers, there is still one more river to cross once your product has reached the merchandising world. 186 00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:34.080 That one more river to cross separates product and consumer at the point of purchase, and the name of the bridge that brings them together is consumer appeal. 187 00:24:34.900 --> 00:24:41.220 There is a very satisfying kind of completeness in helping bring about this final link up with the consumer. 188 00:24:42.300 --> 00:24:58.000 As the originators of the design and market research concept in packaging nearly three decades ago, Container Corporation has had a continuing involvement with what people like and respond to, and how to convert this experience into consumer motivation. 189 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:08.320 Perhaps an impressive gathering of Indian chiefs is the best quick evidence of Container Corporation's interest in the well-being of your product in the world of merchandising. 190 00:25:08.320 --> 00:25:17.920 Each of these statuettes signifies a top award in a point of purchase display competition, and each award was shared by one of our customers. 191 00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:25.780 The power the display division's designs to win customers and influence sales has a very solid and productive basis. 192 00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:32.480 Everything that goes into these effective structures is an element of a well-considered merchandising strategy. 193 00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:42.280 Their power to attract comes from resourceful employment of all the tools and techniques of good design, plus the extra visual thrust of dimension. 194 00:25:43.080 --> 00:25:52.440 Dimension that not only utilizes the inherent versatility of paperboard, but adds such other materials and techniques as creative design solutions may suggest. 195 00:25:53.620 --> 00:26:00.400 Container Corporation is the only supplier of displays with truly coast-to-coast design and manufacturing facilities. 196 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:07.600 The structures are lightweight, easily assembled, and highly expressive of the idea orientation of our company. 197 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:17.280 Idea orientation, of course, has much broader application in our company than graphic and display design. 198 00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:21.500 Our use of computer technology is a case in point. 199 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:28.060 Central computers in our board mills monitor the mixing of chemicals for pulp preparation, for one example. 200 00:26:29.520 --> 00:26:37.660 And each of the division's plants is tied into Container Corporation's Computer Center in Chicago for much useful administrative detailed backup, 201 00:26:38.260 --> 00:26:42.560 including the welter of estimate data pertinent to comprehensive packaging service. 202 00:26:43.180 --> 00:26:52.780 Since computers work around the clock, one day's local input becomes the next morning's printout at the local plant's option. 203 00:27:01.020 --> 00:27:09.440 We have seen packaging at work in its three primary environments, production, distribution, and merchandising. 204 00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:20.300 And we have emphasized the truism that the container's performance in each environment depends on what was put into its design, production, and supporting service by Container Corporation. 205 00:27:21.380 --> 00:27:26.140 In every instance, we help the producer with a problem, or several problems. 206 00:27:26.140 --> 00:27:32.540 These problems were brought to the attention of the local Container Corporation plant in the producer's own area. 207 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:38.220 The producer or his representatives conferred with the various specialists in our local plant, 208 00:27:38.740 --> 00:27:42.680 each concerned with one of the particulars of the packaging problems under discussion. 209 00:27:43.540 --> 00:27:49.820 In effect, our people became his people, and they worked it all out together, eventually with a solution. 210 00:27:49.820 --> 00:28:00.240 Sometimes the solution was structural design, sometimes mechanical packaging, sometimes graphic design, often all free. 211 00:28:01.820 --> 00:28:10.840 In many instances, such divisional staff services as transportation and material handling were brought to bear on the problem, again initiated by the local plant. 212 00:28:12.280 --> 00:28:17.220 That's the way it all works, study and recommendation, problem and solution. 213 00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:23.480 There are many advantages to this kind of broad gauge local service, some more obvious than others. 214 00:28:24.280 --> 00:28:32.060 Being near you, our local plant can get containers to you when you need them, minimizing inventory control problems related to packaging. 215 00:28:32.860 --> 00:28:39.280 The same proximity factor makes it easy for our representatives to render the personal service that can make the big difference. 216 00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:43.760 But the other side of the coin has great value to you also. 217 00:28:43.760 --> 00:28:52.140 As part of a nationwide packaging organization, each local plant can call on resources not always available to local enterprises, 218 00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:55.740 resources that can also make the big difference. 219 00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:04.360 What we do locally, regionally, and nationally comes down finally to that basic box we started with. 220 00:29:05.100 --> 00:29:08.400 Every container we design has multiple responsibilities, 221 00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:13.340 and the fulfillment of each must be accomplished with no detriment to the others. 222 00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:18.600 What we deliver to you is a finely tuned vehicle of distribution, 223 00:29:19.560 --> 00:29:25.660 engineered to the special needs of your product at the most vulnerable time of its life. 224 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:46.880 Thank you.
