American FlexPack, Inc. Case Study

Project 1

In August of 2009, American FlexPack, Inc. was approached to provide a packaging solution for a single use product which incorporated three separate formulations and one towelette in the pouch, all separated to prevent mixing prior to use. The trade show for this item was only weeks away and it was imperative our customer had production samples for the show. Our in house pouch design team went to work and called in the engineers to assist in an affordably fast solution to the task at hand. In house aggressive stability testing with the formulations were started immediately so as not to hold anything up and the team went to work with a design. First prototype hit the mark and we were able to provide printed filled pouches in less than 28 days." We have continued working with American FlexPack and feel our partnership with them to be one of the best business decisions made in our 30 years of manufacturing custom car care products"

Project 2

In January of 2008, American FlexPack received a call from a Major distributor of infomercial cosmetics to help them in a pinch. Their current contract packager was unable to convert the 1.7 million pouches in time for an "on air" dated fast approaching due to some sealing issues with the film. Our team was able to solve the sealing issue through a combination of thermodynamics and pneumatics to provide this customer with the properly sealed pouch. Six converting lines were dedicated to this item on a Saturday and Monday the product shipped. Our teams proactive approach to problem solving has kept us a leader in the form fill seal packaging arena.
