H.B. Fuller Company to showcase consumer packaging innovations at PACK EXPO Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Convention Center from September 11 to 13, 2023.
Below is a preview of several of the products and innovations that H.B. Fuller will showcase at PACK EXPO Las Vegas.
E-commerce Solutions
H.B. Fuller’s innovative and sustainable e-commerce solutions are tamper-evident, enable easy opening and returns and minimize packaging materials ─ offering an enhanced customer experience with less transit and protective packaging.
-
Swift® Melt PM7000 hot-melt adhesive delivers excellent bond strength that ensures package integrity throughout the supply chain and across a wide temperature range.
-
Open Sesame® fiber-based tear tapes enhance the “unboxing experience” by eliminating the need for box-cutting tools; the Tapes are also easily separated during the old corrugated container (occ) repulping process.
-
Flextra® flexible packaging adhesives reduce packaging waste, resist tears and punctures, and help preserve perishables through the control of moisture, air and light.
-
FullVision®, the company’s proprietary software that analyzes end-of-line packaging data to improve product quality and plant productivity, ensures each box uses the right amount of adhesive.
Sustainable Packaging Solutions
H.B. Fuller will also showcase a wide range of technologies made with renewable and biobased materials, enabling customers to improve their products and processes through solutions that help them achieve their sustainability goals:
-
Reduce carbon footprint throughout the supply chain by lowering the packaging weight with reinforcement solutions, decreasing stretch wrap usage, minimizing packaging-to-product ratio and reducing food waste.
-
Reuse corrugated boxes with help from Open-Sesame® tape technology. This product supports shipper-to-display box designs — two functions in one sustainable package.
-
Recycle packaging with a new caustic washable adhesive solution to bond HDPE or paper label to PET packages.
-
Renew materials with bio-based flexible packaging, adhesives that support biodegradable flexible packaging, reinforcement tapes for repulpable packaging, and hot melt adhesives that contain bio-products.
-
Return bottles made with Earthic™ washable water-based adhesives and easy returnable packaging design with Close Sesame™ system.
