2 PagesDairy Co-Op Saves $316,000 & Increases Output by 50% with Packaging Machine Eric Toth Executive Summary FlexPAC worked with a large dairy cooperative to ?nd a solution that would eliminate glue and corrugated pads from their packaging process, increase safety in the facility, and speed up their production line. After documenting the packaging process, FlexPAC suggested purchasing a Polypack Clearprint 24L machine. By switching their packaging style from using corrugated pads and glue to a polyethylene ?lm and new machines, the co-op was able to save over $316,000 per year. Their production was also able to be ramped up by 50% to run 40 bundles of 12 bottles per minute (28,800 bottles/ hour) up to 60 bundles of 12 bottles per minute (43,200 bottles/ hour).
