Case Studies
Application: Powder-coated metal personal camp stove.

Previous Pack: Corrugated die-cuts that needed to be folded
and assembled before use that required additional personnel on the
line to pre-assemble. Company was experiencing damage to metal hinges
during shipment.
Solution: Fibercel custom molded end cap with water soluble
wax coating. This pack significantly reduced the damage and the
coating eliminated the scuffing associated with molded pulp options
the customer had tried in the past.
Highlights: Eliminated the hinge damage previously seen
in shipping. Also eliminated the need for a secondary operation
that was needed to fold and assembly the corrugated die-cuts. Very
unique solution based on the addition of inline applied coating.
Adds minimal amount to cost. Pack of ready to use end caps is brought
to the end of the packaging line where they are placed on the units,
put into a carton, and sent through an automatic tape machine.
Application: Electronic ozone generator

Previous pack: Plastic mesh impregnated polystyrene end
caps, 8 corner pieces per pack.
Problem: Severe shipping damage to internal electronic circuit
board. This damage was so severe and extensive, UPS would no longer
accept the package for shipment.
Solution: Fibercel custom molded end caps. Pack not only
passes UPS drop test criteria, the unique design has taken the pack
from the 8 corner pads to 4. This significantly reduces the handling
and pack time per unit.
