• Making a substantial

improvement now

requires a change of

practice


LOCK N’ POP is a different way

of stabilising a pallet

• No more plastic wrap or

other tertiary packaging

waste

• No more product

wastage in storage or

transit; and

• No more plastic waste

to manage


At the heart of a LOCK N’ POP

system is an adhesive

• LOCK N’ POP adhesives

have high shear

strength

– This means that

products do not easily products do not easily

move laterally on the

pallet

– They are stable during

transit and damage is

minimised


At the heart of a LOCK N’ POP

system is an adhesive

• LOCK N’ POP adhesives

have high shear

strength

• But they have low

tensile or fracture

strength

– This means that it’s easy

for operators to remove

products from the pallet


LOCK N’ POP systems work with

most pallet loads: bags + sacks

• Bags and sacks

– Building materials

– Animal feed

– Plastic pellets

– Flour

� Paper and plastic


LOCK N’ POP systems also work

with cartons and boxes

• Bags and sacks

• Cartons and boxes

– Wines and spirits

– Consumer products– Consumer products

– Beers and ciders

� Closed and open top

cartons


and with shrink wrapped trays

• Bags and sacks

• Shrink wrapped trays

– Soft drinks and mineral – Soft drinks and mineral

waters

– Canned foods

– Beers and ciders


The economics of LOCK N’ POP

systems are compelling

• Plastic film prices are

driven by crude oil

prices and there’s only

one long term trend

Prices have trebled over – Prices have trebled over

the last 10 years

– LOCK N’ POP products

are made from natural

products and their prices

are not so volatile





driven by crude oil


one long term trend

• The cost of product

damage is both money

and reputation

LOCK N’POP systems support

sustainability objectives

heat

plastic packaging, less

plastic waste
