Sealed Air Void Reduction Systems

Sealed Air offers innovative void reduction systems to solve issues experienced in high-volume pick and pack operations.

I-Pack® is an automated, intelligent and complete system that employs a multi-step process to securely package a wide range of products. This multifunctional solution incorporates tray forming, product placement, cushioning insertion, carton folding, lid forming/sealing, and carton labeling functions. The versatile I-Pack system can also be integrated with ERP systems and just about any automated packaging environment.
The finished package presents a container with increased carton strength and superior product protection. By drastically increasing productivity, while reducing labor, material and shipping costs, the I-Pack® is ideal for high-volume environments such as distribution and fulfillment centers.
Ultipack® is an automatic void containment solution, wherein the tray is formed, product is placed into tray, a corrugated wedge is inserted, and the lid is applied and sealed. Added features include the optional insertion of cushioning materials, Korrvu® wedge, or product documentation, and shipping label application. The result is consistent package creation and ultimate product protection.
The Ultipack system is ideal for automated fulfillment applications by increasing productivity — while minimizing shipping, consumable and operating expenses. This versatile, intelligent machine can be integrated with all ERP/EMS software and is compatible with most warehouse equipment (conveyors, printers, scales, sorters, etc.)
The product protection capabilities of both the I-Pack and Ultipack systems can be enhanced by incorporating Pack Tiger® paper and/or NewAir I.B.® Express void fill and cushioning materials.

5 ways to grow your business!

Entrepreneurs share powerful advice for increasing revenue and growing a business

You need a good, moneymaking idea to start a business. But that's not all it takes. Here are tips from successful small business owners.

---

Build good relationships

In 2002, Deborah Gregg Suchman started making all-natural dog treats in the back of a boutique-style pet supply store next door to a dog park in downtown Boston. Since then, PolkaDogBakery has added three more retail locations, built a nationwide wholesale business and added an online store. Year-over-year growth is in the 50 percent range.

"Building good relationships has been integral to how our business has grown," Suchman says. "It started back at our first store, building relationships with our customers and within the community. That applies across the board, to employees, vendors and customers. You need a real understanding of who they are and what they are looking for."

Partner with suppliers

Since 1958 National Textile Industries has supplied broadcloth and trimmings from its first location on the lower east side of New York City to its current operation in Brooklyn "to anyone in the needle trade," as co-owner Jay Gagliano puts it. "I'm the third generation to run the business, and everyone in the family is involved."

Gagliano's No. 1 piece of advice: "Show your suppliers that you are committed to them and you value them as your partner. I quite often thank my suppliers, one of whom is UPS. That relationship goes back as far as I can remember, starting in 1958."

Know when to use custom packaging

Katherine Kallinis Berman and Sophie Kallinis LaMontagne opened Georgetown Cupcake in 2008. Their business has grown quickly; the sisters were even featured in the TLC series DC Cupcakes. Besides Washington, D.C., they have stores in a handful of cities, as well as a nationwide bakery and shipping center in Sterling, Va.

"When we started shipping nationally, we wanted to re-create the Georgetown Cupcake store experience," Berman says. The retailer worked with UPS to refine its packaging to reduce the weight of each shipment by a pound while maintaining the distinct look and quality of the Georgetown Cupcake experience.

Stay resilient

"The most important thing for a young, startup company is to be resilient," says Rocco Carzo, operations manager at Boston-based Blank Label. "You're always having new problems to solve, and asking people to do things they've never done before."

Blank Label launched five years ago with a fresh concept: offering custom-made dress and casual shirts tailored for a perfect fit. Since then the company has opened a store in Boston where customers can be fitted in person for suits, topcoats, chinos and corduroys. Another location is planned for Washington, D.C.

I wish you all the best!

New York-area construction leads US

The New York metropolitan area led the nation with $17.3 billion in commercial and multifamily construction starts in the first half of 2015, according to a study from Dodge Data & Analytics.

The number of construction projects that broke ground in the New York metro area from January through June was up 72 percent from a year ago.

New York metro construction far outperformed the number two ranked metropolitan area which was Miami with $3 billion in construction starts, up 38 percent from a year ago. The rest of the top metropolitan areas in construction starts included Washington D.C. with $2.4 billion, down 15 percent; Boston with $2.2 billion, an increase of 21 percent; and Seattle with $2.1 billion, up 49 percent from a year ago.

Nationwide, commercial and multifamily construction starts during the first half of 2015 were reported at $73.2 billion, up 13 percent from a year ago. Commercial and multifamily construction is comprised of stores, warehouses, office buildings, hotels, garages and service stations, and multifamily housing.

Large commercial building projects that began during the first half of 2015 in the New York metro area included two structures at the Hudson Yards development on Manhattan’s West Side: the $1.2 billion 30 Hudson Yards office/retail tower and the $400 million 55 Hudson Yards office tower. Other large building projects that broke ground in the first six months of the year included the $575 million 1 Manhattan West project; the $200 million South Street Seaport Pier 17 retail center; and a $150 million tenant install at 10 Hudson Yards.

There were also 24 multifamily projects valued at $100 million or greater that reached groundbreaking in the New York metropolitan area during the first half of 2015, led by a $600 million apartment building at 1800 Park Avenue, a $500 million apartment building at 109 W. 57th St., and a $500 million addition to Flushing Commons in Queens.
