| AVC Corp., a
one-stop custom retail packaging company based in Torrance, Calif.,
announces the introduction of its Environmental Rigid Blister (ERB)
package to the market. This new patented design reduces the amount of
plastic used, making it cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Torrance, CA (PRWEB) June 13, 2006 –- Recognizing the need to be
environmentally proactive and reduce the amount of plastic in retail
packaging, Torrance, Calif. manufacturer AVC Corp. (http://www.avccorp.com)
announces the development of its new patent-pending Environmental Rigid
Blister (ERB) package.
Made from a combination of recyclable plastic, blister board and
corrugated, the attractive design is not only environmentally friendly
but is also cost-effective as it reduces the amount of plastic and
eliminates the need for a paper insert.
AVC, a one-stop custom retail packaging company, developed the ERB as
one of many environmental alternatives to traditional clamshell and
blister packages.
The blister board can be designed in any size, shape or color, which
allows limitless opportunities for creative design as well as ample
advertising space. This concept reduces the amount of overall packaging
materials used, which in turn saves money while diminishing the impact
on the environment.
“As a leader in the Environmental Packaging Movement, AVC continues to
research and develop innovative and environmentally friendly packages,”
said Michael Baker, General Counsel to AVC. “The ERB marks a major
milestone in green packaging – it uses less plastic and more blister
board. AVC’s ERB also utilizes renewable and sustainable packaging
materials.”
The ERB features a clear thermo-formed plastic window so the consumer
can see the product before purchasing. Because the ERB does not require
the same sealing processes as standard clamshell packaging, all
eco-friendly PVC alternatives can be used.
“With growing consumer, retailer, and government concern over potential
health problems associated with PVC, more and more large retail and club
stores are pushing to reduce or eliminate the use of PVC in packaging,”
said Art Stephens, AVC’s VP of Manufacturing. “We have developed methods
of thermoforming and sealing several PVC alternatives, including RPET,
PETG, NatureWorks ® PLA, and clarified Styrene.”
Widely accepted by large retail and club stores, AVC’s ERB can be
customized to package any product in any shape or size.
“Another benefit of the ERB is the package is significantly lighter in
weight than traditional clamshell and blister packages, resulting in
substantial transportation cost savings,” Baker said. “Plus, the package
is designed to be extremely durable, which makes it easy to store and
ship.”
In addition to being cost-effective and environmentally friendly, AVC’s
ERB is also theft-resistant and safe for the purchaser. Consumers can
say goodbye to painful plastic cuts as the ERB is easy to open and does
not require any cutting of the thermo-formed plastic.
With more than 50 years of experience in the retail custom packaging
industry, AVC (http://www.avccorp.com)
designs packages with the consumer, retailer and environment in mind.
The ERB is one of AVC’s many environmental packaging concepts.
