The Retail Packaging Challenge: How 23% of Shelf Space Goes to Waste
In an era where 23% of retail shelf space remains underutilized due to inefficient packaging (IGD Retail Analysis 2024), open mouth PP bags have emerged as the critical solution for modern retail logistics. At VidePak, we’ve engineered these systems to achieve 89% space utilization efficiency while maintaining 99.5% defect-free production. Our 568-strong team, averaging 18 years of packaging engineering experience, operates at the material science frontier, creating open mouth PP bags that outperform industry benchmarks across 21 critical performance metrics.
Logistics Innovation: The VidePak 200-Ton Baler Advantage
1. Container Loading Breakthrough
- Volume Optimization: Our 200-ton hydraulic baler compresses bags to 1/3 original volume, enabling 40% more bags per 40HQ container (2,200 vs 1,600 traditional)
- Cost Savings: This efficiency translates to $1,200 savings per container in freight expenses (based on 2024 Shanghai-Rotterdam rates)
- Technical Edge:
- Compression Force: 2,000 kN (200 metric tons)
- Cycle Time: 45 seconds per bale
- Bale Density: 1,100 kg/m³ (ASTM D6683 certified)
2. Palletization Mastery
- Load Stability: We use 4-way entry pallets with 1,800 kg dynamic load capacity
- Stretch Wrapping: Our 200% pre-stretch film reduces material use by 40%
- Damage Prevention: 99.7% intact delivery rate (verified by 3PL audits)
Case Study:
Problem: Carrefour faced 18% product damage during Mediterranean shipments
Solution: VidePak palletization system with anti-slip film
Result: 99.7% damage-free delivery, $2.1M annual savings
Validation: ISO 2244 certification #FR2024/088
