Better, faster bagging reduces costs by one-third

While the retail landscape has shifted seismically in the five ensuing decades, the message of Earth Day endures through consumers who factor corporate sustainability into everyday purchasing decisions. That’s why many shippers are seeking ecofriendly packaging solutions that minimize impact on products – and the environment.

Pregis is announcing yet another $6 million investment in its Pregis Films facility located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This latest investment is for a third multilayer Windmoeller & Hoelscher (W&H) blown film line to address growing demands for output.

Today, as consumers demand environmentally friendly packaging from manufacturers and ask retailers to minimize waste, it’s easy to forget that nearly 50 years ago, concern for the environment was very different than it is today.

Pregis LLC is announcing the restructuring of its European business operations to create a platform for future growth. Its recently acquired FP International’s European operations will be combined with Pregis, Ltd. The latter, formerly known as Easypack, offers a robust on-demand paper packaging systems portfolio, while FP International has a complete on-demand air systems offering. Its well-known loose-fill brand, Flo-Pak®, was used to start the company more than 50 years ago, and has become the leading brand name in the market. The combined organizations will now go to market under the Pregis name.

Pregis is a proud sponsor of the 2019 American Packaging Summit in Chicago April 16-17. With a dedicated focus on helping companies protect their brand (and their products), Ryan Germann will be presenting new groundbreaking research to help companies quantify the impact that protective packaging decisions can make to their bottom line as well as the impact on the environment.
