Heroic secondary packaging

SIG Combibloc has developed the Hero tray, a display tray for tall, slim beverage cartons.

The secondary packaging solution ensures carton packs are evenly stacked and safely protected during transport – and can later be presented on the sales shelf and removed from the secondary packaging easily, as the tray is not the same height as the carton packs.

Georg Schulte, project manager downstream/secondary packaging at SIG Combibloc, says, “While a completely enclosed type of secondary packaging is ideally used for transport to protect the carton packs, a very shallow tray offers the best solution for presenting the cartons and makes them easier to remove from the packaging.

“With our new Hero tray, we’ve developed a solution that meets both requirements. At the same time, using the new tray lowers costs for beverage manufacturers because less corrugated board is used than in trays that are the same height as the carton packs.”
