You Know Us Better Than You Think

The CPG can also direct print onto mini-flute materials and print top sheets for laminations at several of its facilities. This thin corrugated material has experienced a tremendous growth in popularity among manufacturers requiring quality packaging for bulk products and stability of end-aisle or point-of-sale displays. These mini-flute cartons, or fluted folding cartons, can be found primarily in club stores and mass merchandisers, as well as the local grocery store.

The Cleveland Digital Imaging Center’s highly specialized services and impressive technological capabilities continue to complement the CPG’s business development efforts. The center has developed a wide variety of innovative packaging prototype samples with full graphics for several customer product expos or packaging fairs. These prototype samples earned the CPG top honors as “best in show” at several recent events. As a result, the customer product expos now provide a valuable opportunity to introduce innovative and highly effective packaging concepts to the CPG customers.

The CPG introduced several Internet-based collaboration tools that improved its facilities’ ability to communicate with customers. Many major customers can check order and inventory status at a secured web site. The CPG is also developing similar Internet-based collaboration tools for product development and project management, which will represent another significant competitive advantage.
