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.
According to Culligan’s packaging supervisor, who declined to be named, “our main concern was keeping the quality equal to or better than before while reducing our costs,” he explains. Culligan saves anywhere from 4 to 11% per carton, depending on the carton size and quantity, he says.
