TRAK-RAP CASE STUDIES: #3

Frozen foods sector – frozen product

The objective was extremely demanding, to be the UK leader in secondary packaging carbon emissions and at a lower cost

Through extensive research and trialling we were able to replace the 0201 box and tape with a lightweight e flute corrugate tray. The tray and frozen product were then sent through the new Trak-Rap system and bound with 4g of 7 micron, 100 recyclable, stretch film. The specific challenge to overcome was the weight of the individual cases and the loads put on the lower cases in the Pallet stack, together with the Frozen environment.

Working together we were able to overcome these issues to produce a pack that is 35% lighter and reduces the carbon footprint of the secondary packaging by 25%, meeting our customer’s objective.
