About Lock n’Pop
Company established 1972 Products sold worldwide Domestic sales through rep and distributor network Exclusive focus on load unitization Primary in product manufacturing and quality
control Over 4,000,000,000 pallets stabilized by Lock
n’Pop
Why Lock n’Pop is Used
Increase load stability Reduce costs Increase productivity Eliminate losses due to damages
In transit to your DC’s or customers Within the manufacturing location
Customers
Food and food ingredient processors Beverage processors Chemical manufacturers Produce packers Industrial manufacturers Fine paper manufacturers
Customer Examples
Tropicana Coca-Cola IBP McCormick Con Agra
Hunt-Wesson Cereal Food Processors Krispy Kreme Land O’Lakes Cargill
Product Attributes
Water-based Repulpable Ingredients approved by FDA, 21 CFR 175.105 Product will set in temperatures from –20 to 180
degrees F Firm locks unaffected by temperature, humidity or
time
Advantages Over Stretch Wrap
Potential cost reduction: Savings in labor and/or materials Minimal capital expense Minimal maintenance Improves throughput
Advantages Over Stretch Wrap
Improves: Internal load stability Non-routine inspections Space utilization Partial pallet handling
Advantages Over Stretch Wrap
Customer advantages: Loads still stable after partial depalletizing Avoid mess of condensation under wrap Improve stocking efficiency No disposal mess Improved environmental impact
High Racking/Close Tolerances are Easy with Lock n’ Pop
Preventing Shifting on Stacked Bags is Easy with Lock n’Pop
Advantages over Adhesives
Customized product selection No product separation, so no mixing required No volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to report Virtually invisible on packaging for clean results No sticky residue to foul equipment or customers No heat application saves on cost and injury No cobwebbing or build up on equipment or
conveyors Low maintenance
Lock n’ Pop is Applied Clean, using Unique Low Maintenance Materials and Methods
Advantages for Refrigerated or Freezer Storage
Unique capability to bond in cold and freezing conditions without using sticky materials
Reduction in time and energy for cooling Maintenance of top loading strength by preventing
condensation from wrap Improved efficiency of order picking by eliminating
need to remove wrap
Effects of Condensation
Study completed by Nethercote and Boisvenu in Performance & Evaluation of Shipping Containers indicates potential loss of compressive strength up to 70% on boxes that were not wax treated and exposed to refrigerated and/or freezer storage. Condensation was cited as the primary factor contributing to the loss.
