Reduce Your Packaging Spend with Kizen® Case and Carton Sealing
In today’s competitive landscape, packaging lines like yours must meet increasingly high output demands while facing pressures to lower costs. Carefully considering the impact adhesives can have on your production capabilities and efficiencies is key. One adhesive can help you meet your goals.
Controllable Expenses in Case and Carton Sealing
In fast-moving consumer goods, a few things are non-negotiable. For example, you need to provide appropriate packaging for your products. They also need to be shipped, reach the consumer safely, and in a condition that meets your standards. But how you accomplish those goals is firmly within your control.
A prime example is the type of packaging materials you choose. What type of corrugate meets your goals while still managing cost? Should it be branded or unadorned? Do you want it to be recycled or virgin stock? Each decision can impact consumer perception and your cost of doing business.
The same is true of your packaging adhesive. To ensure you are getting the most for your money, here are several considerations for your adhesive selection.
Does the hot melt:
- Require fewer SKUs (or just one) to satisfy your packing needs?
- Apply cleanly to minimize cleanup on the line?
- Bond a wide range of substrates, so you can choose materials that best support your business goals (such as lower cost or lightweight materials)?
- Hold firmly to reduce pop-opens and related line slowdowns and stoppages?
Fortunately, Bostik has a proprietary high-performance hot-melt adhesive technology designed to check all these boxes, and more.
Kizen® Enables Manufacturers to Reduce Overall Spend and Streamline Operations
Bostik’s Kizen® hot-melt adhesive technology is specifically designed to address today’s case and carton sealing challenges. The product range offers ease of use and strong bonds, reducing packaging spend in the following ways:
Broad Bonding Capabilities
Able to bond to a wide range of substrates, Kizen allows you to choose whichever material best suits your production needs and budget. In particular, this case and carton sealing adhesive has low viscosity, which makes it ideal for bonding to difficult materials. These include corrugated and highly recycled stock.
Wide Processing Window
Kizen is able to accommodate different production line requirements, speeds, and conditions. Your plants need to keep only one case and carton sealing adhesive in stock to fulfill all standard packaging requirements. By reducing adhesive SKUs, you can also reduce overall cost of production and complexity.
Enhanced Performance
Kizen is ideal for intermittent coating patterns, which reduces adhesive consumption and associated costs. Additionally, as a low-charring option, Kizen decreases equipment wear and tear, along with maintenance costs and downtime.
