P R I N T I NG Our in-house printing capabilities have been a cornerstone of our product line for years. We recently invested in new equipment and employee training to develop our new printing department. With the ability to print up to six colors on two sides of film (max length 22”), your branding and artwork will look incredible on our poly bags. We use custom flexographic plates and accurate color matching to ensure the highest quality printed bags and film. Printed film can be shipped on rolls or converted into bags with zippers or lip and tape closures, and can include features such as bottom gussets, side gussets, perforations, hole punches, and two pocket zipper or multi-pocket configurations. Printed film can range in thickness from 2 to 6 ml. We use our flexographic printing presses to provide customers clean and accurate printing on a range of materials, from industrial poly to high-performance specialty films.
R E P R O C E S S I NG Our reprocessing technology allows us to recycle 100% of our high-quality resins and 50-75% on many of our commercial jobs, resulting in a 60% average reduction in materials costs.
Products that utilize high-quality resins (high-quantity of LDPE) often see net margins exceeding 40%.
In conjunction with our reprocessing capabilities, we have the capacity to sell off excess production at high-market prices — in many cases 75-80% of current virgin resin supply. This creates an additional profit center driven by Fruth’s state-of-the-art technology.
S T E M H A R DWA R E In the continual pursuit of profitability Fruth has installed STEM hardware to reduce energy costs. This hardware (30 kw at Fruth, 5kw at CFB) allows amp-sharing utilizing inexpensive nighttime charging energy and discharges it at peak- time during the high-rate daily times. Fruth was the pilot manufacturing plant installation in 2016, and it has resulted in significant energy savings in our electrical bids.
TOO L I NG Our in-house tooling machine shop provides limitless engineering solutions to the custom demands of very intricate packaging products. Not only do these tooling improvements bring new project capabilities, this engineering capability ensures the constant application of the lean manufacturing 6S methodology across the manufacturing ecosystem.
