ORBIS Corporation, a global expert in reusable packaging solutions, will be showcasing products that play a pivotal role in optimizing supply chains at this year’s PACK EXPO International, held November 3-6 at Chicago’s McCormick Place. ORBIS, exhibiting at Booth LU-6700, will be highlighting solutions for four critical points in the supply chain: inbound shipments, manufacturing, distribution, and retail.
“At ORBIS, we recognize that a better way to a more sustainable supply chain starts with reusable packaging” said Lynn Hediger, vice-president of product management. “Our integrated portfolio of products and solutions enhance supply chain efficiency and sustainability-driven ROI. We’re excited to showcase our commitment to demonstrating what a more efficient, sustainable and resilient supply chain looks like for our customers and how it can greatly benefit their business while also serving a greater good.”
ORBIS products are designed for a long service life, compared to single-use boxes and pallets. ORBIS’ collective goal is to keep packaging in use, at its highest utility, for as long as possible for its customers. The ORBIS booth will showcase a variety of packaging solutions used in primary packaging, retail, automotive, and industrial applications including:
New 60×48 Industrial Pallet
This pallet boasts exceptional durability and reliability, making it an optimal choice for use within the industrial and automotive sectors. It is well-suited for transporting powertrain and EV components such as modules and longer battery components, offering compatibility with automation and edge-racking systems that enhance operational efficiency and versality in handling and storage.
OpteBulk
ORBIS’ sleeve pack line, OpteBulk™ is an economical collapsible bulk container solution for lighter weight loads in the supply chain. OpteBulk systems are comprised of a reusable sleeve, pallet and top cap. ORBIS offers a variety of reusable sleeve pack solutions that are designed to replace limited-use wood pallet / gaylord systems.
Odyssey 3-Runner Pallet
The Odyssey® 3-Runner pallet offers dimensional consistency for seamless interface with automation. It supports heavy loads and provides stability with unique design features, including heavy-duty steel reinforcements and permanent molded-in frictional elements. The Odyssey 3-Runner pallet offers an unmatched high strength-to-weight ratio capable of unsupported rack loads up to 3,000 pounds and is designed specifically to interface with Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS). It is a versatile solution, with applications in dry goods and general food processing, including cold and frozen storage of meat, bakery, produce, and dairy. By implementing the Odyssey 3-Runner pallet, companies can successfully and easily move product loads throughout an automated system.
ORBISHIELD ECO
ORBIShield ECO dunnage is designed to protect parts and components in the automotive supply chain. It is available in a wide variety of materials that reduce solid waste generation and carbon footprint, without compromising product protection or performance. This dunnage is custom designed to meet the growing needs of businesses who are increasingly conscious of the impact that packaging has on the environment. Furthering ORBIS’s commitment to the circular economy, this new product line promotes and demonstrates the reuse of materials and reduces reliance on single-use packaging. The ORBIShield ECO line is produced using recovered and reprocessed plastic resins and can be recycled at end of life, making it an ideal solution for companies looking to enhance their sustainability efforts.
