Cost-effective, reliable edge protection for burial vault liners

摘要

Indiana Vac-Form (IVF) is a supplier of thermoformed products, including burial vault liners, based in Warsaw, IN. In 2013, business for the company was going well. Sales of its burial vault liners were growing as the company tapped into new markets and customers across the country. But as its business grew, shipping distances increased, and logistics challenges like cross-docking became unavoidable. The increased mileage and product handling put new stresses on the corrugated packaging IVF was using, and consequently, it was not holding up well. If the company was to continue the momentum it was gaining, it was going to have to make some changes. In December 2013, IVF replaced its corrugated packaging with recyclable paperboard edge protectors from Laminations, a part of Great Northern Corp. Since then, IVF has enhanced the integrity of its packaging, has saved on shipping and packaging expenses, and has lowered its material and labor costs.
