Client: Ad N’art Water Bottle Packaging

Need: Ad N’art was importing water bottle packaging sleeves from East Asia. They had problems with both the goods and the shipping. The packaging sleeves were received not fully glued together in their final shape. Ad N’art had to hot glue the sleeves by hand, which increased labour costs. Also, shipments often arrived late.

Challenge: Since Ad N’art is an Albany Packaging client, they naturally approached us for help with their packaging dilemma. We evaluated a package sample and studied their situation. Printing and delivering the sleeves on time would be no problem. But because the package was a folded, glued, self-standing sleeve, it would be difficult to assemble and glue together.

Solution: The Albany Packaging team worked together to find a solution, which was to find a way to get the folds added to the sleeve and glued. Success came by inverting one of the folds so we could glue the sleeve. Ad N’art was pleased with our innovative solution and our prompt and attentive service.
