Expanded polystyrene foam (eps) packaging is a sensible choice for protecting your product because of its performance and environmental advantages. EPS foam uses fewer resources and less energy than alternative packaging. Efficient, lightweight and durable, EPS reduces both package size and fuel consumption during transportation. EPS is a valuable resource that can be re-manufactured back into recycled content foam packaging or made into an amazing array of durable polystyrene products – from office supplies to videocassette cartridges. No ozone-depleting CFCS have been used to manufacture EPS foam packaging.

You can recycle EPS packaging through a network of manufacturers, re-processors and retailers across the country. The alliance of foam packaging recyclers is an organization solely dedicated to the collection (dropoff), reprocessing and reuse of clean, industrial (non food service) post-consumer EPS foam. To locate the nearest EPS foam packaging collection site, call the recycling hotline at 1-800-944-8448 or visit AFPRS web site at https://altorsolutions.com/recycle-eps/

Tooling commonly is understood to be cutting dies or printing plates required to customize a corrugated container, display or die cut for an end user. What is tooling?

Standard RSC corrugated containers do not require tooling.

Yes. We have stock tooling for standard size vent/hand holes. Some sizes or styles may require a full cutting die at a one-time cost to you.

To ensure quality, we prefer a separate set of plates for each box size, especially if the printing varies. We will optimize their use wherever it's possible.

Redesigning and reevaluating the customers needs is a priority for us. Changes from the current carton design may improve performance. The use of high performance packaging will result in increased stacking strength and potentially lower costs.

Yes, corrugated fiberboard is more likely to be recycled than any other paper product. Please check out www.corrugatedrecycles.org for more information.

That would depend on what is being shipped, how much of the item is being shipped, and where the item is coming from and going to. We cannot guarantee that the amount of gel ice used will be sufficient because of the many variables that may affect temperature. Contact a customer service rep to help you determine how much gel ice you may need at sales@glacierpac.com or 562-427-8889.
