Carton coders are something to cluck about

摘要

It has been said that the egg is nature's perfect package. The egg protects its precious contents with a porous shell that—while it allows for evaporation— has a unique weave that repels incursions from bacteria. In today's marketing terms, the eggshell is easy-open, grippable and recyclable, offers tamper-evidence and has an easily identifiable shape. But there are a few things that nature left out—among them, break-resistance and usage instructions. Across the nation's heartland, Rose Acre Farms, Inc. (Rose Acres), headquartered near Seymour, IN, is adding to the egg what nature left out. With a firm commitment to providing "secondary" carton packaging comparable in quality to the farm-fresh product inside, Rose Acres has recently expanded and upgraded several of its egg-processing facilities.
