UPS, Sealed Air Unveil Packaging Innovation Center

May 10, 2017

The 6,000-square-foot space is located on the campus of UPS Supply Chain Solutions near its Worldport air hub in Louisville, KY.

"This partnership enables us to give our mutual customers access to leading edge solutions that increase fulfillment speed, reduce material cost and waste, maximize labor resources, improve end user satisfaction and reduce the cost of shipping," said Alan Gershenhorn, executive vice president and chief commercial officer for UPS. "Ultimately the relationship with customers is about more than moving goods."

“The vision is that with the rapid growth of e-commerce we believe it’s necessary to help educate our mutual customers,” said Ken Chrisman, president of Sealed Air’s Product Care Division. “Customers need to understand how they can win in the increasingly competitive atmosphere. The center is designed to help customers large and small find ways to address the rising expectations of consumers.”

Some of the newer Sealed Air products on display at the innovation center include Stealth Wrap, a system that applies a 29-layer high-strength poly film to reduce package size and increase cube utilization; and Korrvu, a system that applies film over products inside the box to make a better presentation and “unboxing” experience, which was introduced in November.

Through the partnership, Sealed Air engineers are helping UPS solve packaging issues for e-commerce clients, including designing and testing various solutions to reduce damage or achieve a lower freight cost without sacrificing protection. The resulting designs could lead to a new system, or a full integration of packaging and supply chain solutions. It also allows joint customers to run tests in a simulated environment at the center, which can feed development cycles for both companies.
