Story on EASY-PAC™ Package Sealing Solution Wins Award for Feature Article

A feature article that explains how the EASY-PAC™ Package Sealing Solution from National Adhesives helped improve the packaging efficiency of a major regional bottler received an award from the Business Marketing Association of New Jersey last week.

The Business Marketing Association, a leading professional resource for business-to-business marketers and communicators, presented an Impact Award in its Feature Articles category on April 24 for “Sticking to Success,” an in-depth look at the operations of the Tyler Mountain Beverages fruit-drink facility in Paducah, KY. The article was published in 2006 in Packaging Digest, a major packaging industry trade magazine.

In 2005, Tyler Mountain began using the EASY-PAC Package Sealing Solution, which is designed to eliminate the char-related problems packaging line operators experience with traditional 350° F hot melt adhesives and their application equipment. Char, the largest single cause of adhesive application malfunctions, is the substance produced by overheated hot melt or outside contaminants in the melt unit, which can clog filters, hoses and nozzles and bring packaging lines to a halt.

“I think the biggest improvement since we switched over to EASY-PAC is we don’t have to focus so much on glue issues anymore. The glue issues have literally gone away, and now we can focus on areas of quality, areas of increased productivity, areas of better packaging, and get away from the minor nuisances of glue issues,” said Sandy Thomas, Tyler Mountain’s Operations Manager, in the article.
