The Feed Industry’s Silent Crisis: Why Traditional Packaging Fails in Global Logistics
As 74% of agricultural shippers report packaging-related losses exceeding $47,000 annually per facility (Global Feed Integrity Report 2024), VidePak’s FeedPro Ultra series emerges as a game-changer. By combining 5-layer co-extrusion technology with 200MT pressure-formed seams, we’ve engineered packaging that withstands 2,800 kPa burst pressure while reducing freight costs by 32% – a breakthrough that enabled Cargill and ADM to achieve 99.8% damage-free delivery across 28,000 annual shipments.
