UFP Packaging Opens New Packaging Facility In Georgia
Grand Rapids, Michigan based UFP Packaging announced the opening of a 10,000-square-foot Packaging Design and Development Center (DDC) at its Newnan, Georgia, facility. The DDC features expanded, customer-focused spaces that foster collaboration and innovation. Clients can engage directly in lab testing, participate in design reviews, and collaborate hands-on with packaging devel- opment, creating a more interactive and immersive expe- rience. “Many of our customers have unique products that re- quire more than an off-the-shelf packaging solution,” said Executive VP of Structural Packaging J.F. Granger. “Our
new design center will enhance our service capabilities, protect their products through rigorous testing and help our customers keep their customers happy.” The center includes a fully equipped prototyping shop and an ISTA-certified testing laboratory. The DDC will fo- cus on sustainability, saving customers money by refining designs, minimizing material waste, and maximizing pro- tection within the supply chain through rigorous testing. PalletOne, a company of UFP Packaging, will also use the center to host unit load design classes and to optimize pal- let solutions as a part of their Pallet Concierge service. Key testing services at the Design and Development Center include: • ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) Certified laboratory • 1 Series, 2C, 3ABEFK, 4AB, 6 Series • Specializes in 3B (Less Than Truckload) and 3E (Full Truckload) testing • Certified in Amazon 6 testing • ASTM and ISO package and pallet testing The facility’s strategic location near Atlanta will en- hance service, speed and product quality, making it easy for customers throughout the United States to access, the company said. UFP Packaging is an industrial packaging solutions pro- vider and one of the largest producers of wooden pallets and crates in the US with expertise in metal fabrication, corrugated conversion and labeling.
