Empire Packages can produce a variety of highly optimized retail and shelf ready packaging solutions. Our Retail and Shelf-Ready Packaging solutions eliminate cumbersome and time-consuming filling and rearranging of shelves and retail areas, reduce out-of-stock situations and optimize shelf and retail space. Such items can easily be produced upon request by making use of sophisticated process technologies.

Due to our in depth industry experience, our quality and production engineers are well experienced in working with high compression strength carton requirements made from RCT based liners and mediums. 

Empire Packages produces cartons in a multiple range of board grade materials, structural designs and packaging formats that can be tailored to the needs of our customers. Print quality, weight and strength of the raw material (paper) is chosen to optimise the performance of your product to ensure its survival through complex supply chains.

Customers especially in the FMCG sector can have very specific packaging requirements such as partitioned boxes to keep individual items separate. Empire Packages has a wealth of experience in such partition based requirements. 

VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) 

Systems at Empire Packages have matured from a corrugate inventory at the customer's to a vendor managed inventory concept. Its the adherence to quality and deliverability that had lead to one of the world largest consumable company awarding a VMI certificate (Vendor Managed Inventory). Under this condition Empire Packages products are delivered straight to the customer's production line. VMI implementation is a part of the Efficient Consumer Response initiative to provide the end customer with the value and best service. To this end, total supply and demand synchronization is needed throughout the supply chain by means of data interchanges among the parties involved in providing the customer service.

For the Beverage Industry, Empire Packages offers regular RSC (Regular Slotted Cartons), Wrap Around die cut cartons and Pre-Printed Cartons 

Wrap around Die-cut cartons for the Beverage Industry

Wrap-around are precision die cut cartons that are folded directly around the product. This enables the packaging to be extremely tight, as folding tools between product and carton are not necessary.  

Benefits

The manual handling of the box is reduced to a minimum
Mechanical Influences are negligible 
The partial overlapping folding of the side, bottom and top flaps makes the carton extremely stable. This stability can be significantly increased again by using a fully overlapping folding.
Our wrap-around carton offers greater weight-bearing capacity, especially when the product is palletised. 

All wrap around cases are manufactured from a 100% recycled paper. 

Standard RSC Boxes for the Beverage and Dairy Industry

The standard case (RSC) provides superb protection and has great stacking strength to endure the demands of the supply chain, eliminating product damage during transit.

Made from a single sheet of corrugated cardboard, cases are pre-glued to form a ‘flat container’, which can be erected, filled with product and then sealed. 

Our expert design team will work with you to produce the perfect packaging solution for your product in order to meet your filling, transit, opening and display requirements.  We can incorporate die-cut features and a range of opening techniques such as tear tape and perforations.  Cases can be delivered plain or high-quality printed (Up to 4 colours).

All cases are 100% recyclable and suitable for manual and machine erect packing lines.

Low COBB is key when designing boxes for Refrigerated Products, Chemicals and other Hazardous goods

Chemicals are sensitive and often hazardous goods that require packaging with reliable closure techniques and certified construction.

Our product range includes a variety of containerboard grades and corrugated packaging solutions such as using kraft paper or high GSM recycled liner manufactured to low COBB-60 values (not exceeding 150 gm/m2) that offer optimum protection to chemicals and dangerous goods. 

Most of our boxes are made out of brown recycled liner grades that are the ideal choice for demanding heavy-duty packaging applications. For transporting bulky products and dangerous goods, we can offer eco-friendly and certified corrugated heavy-duty packaging which guarantees optimal product protection and safety, regardless of climatic conditions.
