John Eaton, vice president
of packaging solutions for Smurfit-Stone's Automated Packaging
Systems (APS) group, will be at booth #2253 to discuss
Smurfit-Stone's holistic approach to providing full-service
solutions to its customers – from corrugated automated packaging to
market and back again.
Smurfit-Stone's Meta® family of packaging machinery, including
the Meta Wrap-8® and Meta™ produce North
America's only eight-sided cases and will be featured at
Pack Expo. The Meta cases feature mitered corners, which result in
increased stacking strength and reduced fiber requirements. The
cases' panels also allow additional high-impact graphics for
on-the-shelf differentiation.
"Meta® cases are made with less fiber and less weight – without
compromising the container's strength," said Eaton. "Our Meta® line
was designed to increase efficiencies, reduce product damage and
waste, and save customers money through labor and material
costs."

Eaton, please call Corina
