Orbis Corp. introduced PlastiCorr™, the first plastic, reusable corrugated box to work seamlessly with existing automated packaging lines. The polypropylene product brings environmental, economic, cleanliness, and operational benefits to today’s food, beverage, and consumer packaged goods companies, according to the vendor.
PlastiCorr features patented Enfold™ technology. This joint design ensures the box’s flaps return to a straight position after every use. Enfold technology makes PlastiCorr the first fully functioning drop-in replacement for a fiber corrugated box. With Enfold technology, PlastiCorr’s folding box flaps work like new every time, allowing for reusability in packaging lines.
PlastiCorr creates a seamless conversion from current boxes with no change to pack count or pallet configurations. By design, PlastiCorr is dimensionally and structurally consistent for today’s packaging lines and can be used in all types of low, medium, and high-speed lines, from manual to full high-speed automation. PlastiCorr boxes will last multiple cycles through a supply chain. Its all-plastic design is free of the dust that fiber corrugated packaging can introduce to plants and equipment, causing potential equipment delays or shutdowns. PlastiCorr boxes feature smooth, sealed edges for increased safety, cleanliness, and ergonomics. Its revolutionary nonporous plastic design is easy to clean and won’t absorb moisture or odors. PlastiCorr is also 100% recyclable at the end of its lengthy service life.
