Case Histories/White Papers and Research
Whitepaper:  Improve End-of-Packaging Line Sustainability By Reducing Stretch Film Consumption
Company: Orion Packaging Systems, Inc.
The sustainability of packaging is less about the physical package and more concerned with lowering the social, environmental, and economic impacts of packaging across the supply chain. Reducing stretch film consumption is essential for improving the sustainability of transporting pallet loads. If at first glance conserving a packaging material as insubstantial as stretch film seems trivial, consider that in 2006, the year the Freedonia Group used as a base for an analysis of U.S. stretch film consumption, organizations spent $1.5 billion on this material. Freedonia analysts predict that the U.S. market for stretch film used in pallet wrapping will increase 4.7 percent annually from 2006 through 2011.

Whitepaper:  Understanding Optical Character Recognition
Company: Microscan Systems Inc.
Optical Character Recognition, commonly known as OCR, is distinct from linear and 2D symbologies in that it is simultaneously machine-readable and human-readable. OCR does not replace the more robust, secure options of linear and 2D symbologies. For traceability applications, 2D symbols offer the highest level of data security and reliability, and linear symbols offer an intermediate level of security and reliabil- ity. OCR alone offers the least. OCR is most effective when used to complement linear and 2D symbols.

Whitepaper:  Sustainable Packaging and Instapak® Packaging Foams
Company: Sealed Air Corp.
Sustainability has become an important metric in the Protective Packaging Industry over the past several years. Often seen as an extension of the “Environmentally Friendly Packaging” efforts from the ‘80’s and ‘90’s, Sustainability is actually much more broadly based and encompasses far greater concerns than landfill avoidance and controlling litter. One term most often used to describe Sustainability is that it is “Holistic” in nature – involving broad based consideration of all of the various elements that go into the process and product.
