Culligan brightens cartons and saves

Culligan Intl. Co., Northbrook, IL, is one of the first end users of a new laminated 36-pt solid fiber board substrate used for folding cartons for retail water filters. Forte™ from Westvaco’s Packaging Resources Group (Stamford, CT) comprises 6-pt SBS–which provides a high-quality printing surface–laminated to 30-pt Kraftpak®, an uncoated SUS.

Ranging from an under-sink drinking water filter to a whole house filter, the filters were reintroduced in cartons made of the new substrate in Spring ’01. Prior, the cartons were made of a litho-laminated E-flute corrugated. The auto-bottom cartons are converted by Sheboygan Paper Box (Sheboygan, WI), which offset-prints them in five colors plus aqueous coating.
