Normally when containers are bundled together with film people have to tear the film in a messy fashion to grab a product and in doing so they weaken the hold of the film over the remaining items. <a href="http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/Packaging/Hartness-and-RKW-join-up-to-launch-new-multipack-concept/?c=tEBsSoh6iB0UtI04uhbfZA%3D%3D&amp;utm_source=newsletter_daily&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Newsletter%2BDaily">Read more...</a><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6771007606701741835-8979729847653020115?l=hartnesssustainability.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hartness Sustainability Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01849821762011371692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6771007606701741835.post-87883069094270229202009-08-04T12:19:00.000-07:002009-08-13T07:58:21.293-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8DMgMEnTLU/SnsbWQqC7CI/AAAAAAAAABY/fbHNHOyZmOg/s1600-h/GrabPack.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8DMgMEnTLU/SnsbWQqC7CI/AAAAAAAAABY/fbHNHOyZmOg/s400/GrabPack.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366913450184469538" border="0" /></a>Some of you may have seen <a href="http://www.hartnesssustainability.com/grabpack.html">Grab Pack</a>, our innovative film-only multi-pack. For those who haven't, it uses less film than traditional film-only bundles. The package is getting a great deal of attention right now in the beverage and brewery segments around the world. If you haven't seen it, go the main page of <a href="http://www.hartnesssustainability.com/">hartnesssustainability.com</a> and check it out.<br /><br />I just got word that <a href="http://www.hartnesssustainability.com/grabpack.html">Grab Pack</a> was named as a finalist in two categories for the upcoming <a href="http://www.beverageawards.com/">Drinktech Beverage Innovation Awards</a>. Out of 340 entrants from 40 countries, Grab Pack is a finalist in the category for "Best Multi-pack or Crate." It is also among 3 finalists for "Best Alternative Packaging." One of the great things about the package is that it uses less film. We'll be at the awards gala on September 15 in Munich. Fingers crossed.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8DMgMEnTLU/SltP1NA8TAI/AAAAAAAAABI/eyH_uHwo9yM/s1600-h/profile.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 76px; height: 76px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8DMgMEnTLU/SltP1NA8TAI/AAAAAAAAABI/eyH_uHwo9yM/s200/profile.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357963957132610562" border="0" /></a>Scott Smith<br />Vice President, International Sales<br />and Emerging Businesses<br />Hartness International, Inc<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6771007606701741835-8788306909427022920?l=hartnesssustainability.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Scott Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13472080887977354814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6771007606701741835.post-90742929452295303702009-07-09T14:14:00.000-07:002009-07-13T08:20:33.663-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8DMgMEnTLU/SltQQH_QC8I/AAAAAAAAABQ/CCHtm3HdMLw/s1600-h/hartness-1ss.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 391px; height: 121px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8DMgMEnTLU/SltQQH_QC8I/AAAAAAAAABQ/CCHtm3HdMLw/s400/hartness-1ss.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357964419639806914" border="0" /></a>When Hartness Sustainability Solutions was launched in 2008, our goal was simple. We would develop innovative solutions to help clients meet goals around elimination of product waste, reduction in raw materials, water stewardship, utility usage, and lengthening existing equipment life cycles. Whether these solutions fall into sustainability initiatives or simply good business practices, Hartness’ Sustainability Solutions are having a profound impact on both the environment and our client's bottom lines.<br /><br />This week, we are proud to launch hartnesssustainability.com. The goal of this site is to educate our clients on opportunities to reduce, re-use, re-condition and recycle. The site will feature case studies, videos, product descriptions, and even a blog area for our Hartness Sustainability Hit Team. Please enjoy and make sure to give us your comments.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8DMgMEnTLU/SltP1NA8TAI/AAAAAAAAABI/eyH_uHwo9yM/s1600-h/profile.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 76px; height: 76px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8DMgMEnTLU/SltP1NA8TAI/AAAAAAAAABI/eyH_uHwo9yM/s200/profile.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357963957132610562" border="0" /></a>Scott Smith<br />Vice President, International Sales and Emerging Businesses<br />Hartness International, Inc<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6771007606701741835-9074292945229530370?l=hartnesssustainability.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Scott Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13472080887977354814noreply@blogger.com0
