What are merchandiser sustainability initiatives? Packagers who consume less energy, reduce the size of packaging, have less bulk/weight to ship and use landfill friendly materials… can be eligible for incentives from eco-conscious merchandisers.

What are the regulatory pressures (sustainability initiatives)? Most regulations levy fines and surcharges for non-compliance. Unfriendly plastic? Penalty! Production waste? Fine! Heavy energy demands? Surcharge! (New regulations/penalties are on the way.)

FLEXIBILITY: When responding to initiatives and pressures, flexibility is the key to a long-term response. Some facts about Partner Pak as compared to older technology:
    1. When sealing plastic packages, Partner Pak consumes 5x to 10x less energy.
    2. Partner Pak less restrictive on size, shape or type of plastic.
    3. Partner Pak’s packaging speed potential is dramatically faster.
These benefits improve the ability to sustainability initiatives, plus they save more than enough money to pay “sustainability’s bill.”

Automation is a problem for “Old Technology.” Not designed for it. But, Partner Pak’s “New Technology” is designed to speed production via automation, plus Partner Pak embraces sustainability choices!
    Reduction of plastic by using paper reduces landfill impact. Partner Pak is a leader in this
    process (see the ClamCard®).
    Right-sizing plastic is a matter of following design spec's and because Partner Pak uses no
    dies, tooling or a press, none of the related package-design/engineering limitations apply.
    Packaging at home with Partner Pak’s automation is more cost-effective than off-shore’s
    cheap labor. Packaging domestically means shorter lead-times, lower-cost shipping and the
    potential for reduced inventory. Domestic packaging means a smaller carbon footprint.

Conclusion: Flexibility to respond is available from Partner Pak. Today's pressures and initiatives make responsiveness a must. Partner Pak offers choices that give a competitive edge.
