Thermal protection packaging
RANPAK HAS been working with a supplier of frozen dog food to optimise packaging. This involved thermally protecting dog food shipments and doing so with paper-based packaging, a more sustainable option.
Packaging requirements included thermal protection as the raw meat had to be stored at -20°C, with three different box sizes for different order quantities. Transit time was up to 24 hours on the road, so good insulation was vital.
Additionally packers only had 30-45 seconds to prepare a box with up to 20kg of meat.
Ranpak proposed WrapPak Protector paper pads.
The firm’s distribution manager said efficiency gains were impressive: “The WrapPak Protector converter is really easy to operate and the waved paper pads show a consistent high quality. My packers position the paper pads easily in the box, and the complete process was easy to optimise into our existing situation.”
