problem: Develop a shipping container t h a t will (a) keep the poly­styrene crystals entirely firee from foreign matter, even down to lint particles, (b) withstand the rigors of export shipment, involving multiple handling, exposure, etc., and (c) cost less than the double-packaging (with overslips) previously used.

solution: A special type of laminated-textile valve bag developed by Bemis. The bag is constructed of tough burlap laminated between two types of special paper - . . providing ample strength, resistance to abra­sion and freedom from lint. An ingenious method of sewing prevents burlap lint from getting into the polystyrene. Substantial savings are

f ρΤΟυΙβΊΎΙΙ Find a lower cost, easier handling shipping container for ion exchange resin beads in which the moisture content must be main­tained at its original approximate 45%. The material was previously shipped in fiber drums.

Solution I A Bemis Waterproof (laminated textile) Bag, with a loose poly liner. After being filled, the liner is tie-closed and the burlap bag is closed by sewing. Advantages—Necessary moisture content is retained. Shipping weight is substantially reduced. Bags are more easily handled and require less unloading time. Drum disposal problem is eliminated. There is a storage space saving of 30% on filled bags and an even greater saving in empty container storage space.
