Carton gives way to metallized film

This spring, don’t look for windowed paperboard sleeves of Top Flite XL or XL-2000 golf balls in telescoping paperboard cartons. In an effort to reduce solid waste and cut packaging material costs, Spalding of Chicopee, MA, is now using a metallized film to unitize three-ball sleeves of both popular brands.

According to Mike McAuliffe, director of marketing for Spalding’s Top Flite brand, the XL and XL-2000 are top sellers, representing some 10% of all golf balls sold in the United States. That’s why they were chosen for the film wrap, which is currently used nationwide to unitize three, four, five, or six three-ball sleeves nationwide.
