UFP press release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UFP TECHNOLOGIES OFFERS REUSABLE CORRUGATED PLASTIC CONTAINERS
FOR AUTOMOTIVE PARTS HANDLING AND ADDITIONAL INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

UFP Technologies, Inc., a leading manufacturer of custom engineered packaging materials and component products, offers reusable corrugated plastic containers for intra/inter-plant handling of automotive parts. Ideal for automotive manufacturing and aftermarket applications, UFP’s containers feature a modular design that optimizes cubic density, allowing more parts to be stored per container. They can easily accommodate car radios, interior door panels, seat tracks, instrument panels and any other interior molded components. Because the containers are reusable, the need for disposable packaging, such as kraft-corrugated boxes, is eliminated, resulting in significant cost savings. UFP’s containers are collapsible and can be customized to suit a specific distribution environment or footprint to reduce freight costs for returned containers.

Developed from tough corrugated plastic, UFP’s containers are weather resistant, waterproof, lightweight and reusable. Less expensive than metal or injection-molded trays, UFP’s containers are constructed to withstand harsh conditions and can be easily cleaned of dirt or grease. Depending on the distribution environment, a reusable corrugated plastic container will outlast kraft-corrugated boxes by several years. Extra options to increase the weight-bearing capabilities of the container are available, including a metal bar sonically welded to the edges, and plastic rivets to snap the box together.

UFP Technologies, Inc. is a converter and fabricator of foams, plastics and natural fiber materials. The company serves the medical, consumer, automotive, industrial, electronics and military markets from its 10 North American manufacturing facilities. UFP specializes in custom solutions using foam fabrication, foam molding, laminating, plastic thermoforming and molded fiber / molded pulp.
