New Linpac Max³(TM) Container Maximizes Loads, Maximizes Value



Specialized Design Ideal For Packaging Business

GEORGETOWN, KY-LINPAC Materials Handling's approach to developing a new container for packaging suppliers was to take the product's potential to the "MAX."

The new LINPAC MAX³(TM) offers numerous features specifically tailored to the packaging industry, allowing new ways to increase load efficiency, reduce costs, reduce damage, and enhance quality.

According to LINPAC Materials Handling executives, the
MAX³ is a dramatic improvement over the pallet/corrugated bin combination used today.

The MAX³ adds another dimension to shipping possibilities for packaging manufacturers that ship lightweight parts," said Kelly Fulton, Marketing Support Specialist at LINPAC. "Because of its longevity, cleanability, and load-maximizing capabilities, the MAX³ will improve efficiency, and reduce overall shipping expenses.

Fulton detailed a number of benefits of the MAX³ container:

Multiple Trip Capability: The MAX³'s Durability Means Bottom-Line Value.
The MAX³ container is reusable, providing transportation for many loads, whereas wood pallet/corrugated container combinations typically last no more than a few trips.

A 20% Higher Payload Per Standard Trailer.
The MAX³ is designed to maximize the useable space in trailers. The MAX³ can be loaded two-wide, fourteen-deep, and two-high in a standard 53' trailer, allowing for 20% more payload than typical shipping platforms. Furthermore, the container features a 4.5:1 collapsed ratio, making it the most efficient shipping container for return transportation in its class.

Application Versatility That Opens Up New Market Options.
The MAX³ is the ideal shipping container for numerous products, such as PET preforms, cosmetics packaging, crowns, metal closures, pharmaceutical packaging, plastic closure moldings, and synthetic cork.

The MAX³ is also more efficient in the warehouse. Its ability to knock down makes it easy to store, and its four-way fork entry design makes it easy to move.

Optimum Cleanability For The Food And Beverage Business.
The MAX³ is a much cleaner option than pallet/corrugated container combinations. Corrugated containers tend to "dust," or leave particles, while wood pallets can become damp and encourage mold and bacteria, creating an unsanitary environment for packaging products. Since the MAX³ is made with FDA approved polypropylene, it is ideal for shipping sensitive packaging products to customers that demand a sanitary environment.

A Container That Is Better For The Environment.
The MAX³'s plastic material is easily recycled. "LINPAC Materials Handling is committed to recycling your containers," Fulton said. "We invite companies to call for more information about this key advantage."
