DIGISPEC®, VISSTUN® & COUNTERPOINT® IMPLEMENTS ON DEMAND PACKAGING
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (March 19, 2014) – Visstun®, Digispec® and CounterPoint® have implemented Packsize On Demand Packaging®. This state of the art packaging system produces the right-sized box for every product while trimming waste, lowering shipping costs, decreasing product damage, and reducing box obsolescence and management. This technology also allows for customers to have more flexibility in product configurations, improving customer satisfaction.
“This technology has reduced our overall costs enabling us to reduce the storage space needed for packing materials by more than 80% case pack,” said Ed Hamilton, Visstun, Digispec, & CounterPoint president. “Since the implementation of the automated packaging machine, our customers have come up with some creative custom case packs that were really tailored to their specific programs.”
