Berlin Packaging Unveils New Website With Find-It-Fast Product Search
New Community Features Also Provide Interactive Resource for Packaging Professionals
CHICAGO, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Berlin Packaging has launched a new website featuring a searchable online catalog of thousands of plastic, glass, and metal containers and closures, offering a rich source of stock and proprietary rigid packaging ideas and options for package designers, consultants and brand owners. The site also adds multiple community features enabling packaging professionals to get questions answered, stay abreast of industry trends and leverage packaging to drive business.
The new Product Searchtool enables users to browse, sort and filter thousands of packaging components by product group, material, color, unit of measure, capacity, neck finish, shape, and other features simply by selecting desired attributes from dropdown menus. This find-it-fast capability makes it easy to explore package concepts while also expediting the process of matching available components to specific package needs. Users can also save searches, order samples and request quotes directly from search results.
The new community features include:
-- Packaging Answers, a forum for asking questions related to topics such
as product materials, branding, sourcing and industry trends (e.g., How
many times can a plastic bottle be recycled? What resin is best able to
handle cold temperatures without becoming brittle?). Questions are
answered by Berlin Packaging consultants, industry experts or other site
users.
-- Packaging Perspectives, a blog addressing industry trends and issues.
Periodic posts by Berlin Packaging experts cover topics ranging from
package design and production costs to transportation and
sustainability.
-- White Papers, an expanding library of Berlin Packaging-authored articles
examining best practices that can help brand owners optimize financial
or operating metrics. Topics are related to packaging but frequently
apply to the overall business as well. Recent papers include Reducing
Total Inventory Cost: A Roadmap to Higher ROI, and Partnering for Supply
Chain Excellence: Three Simple Tests to Improve Performance.
The website also provides information about the company's extensive vertical market solutions and large suite of customer support services ranging from custom package design to global sourcing and beyond.
