Pearson Packaging Systems, Spokane, Wash., USA, a manufacturer of secondary packaging equipment, has signed an exclusive co-marketing agreement with CT Pack, Italy. Pearson will be the supplier of CT Pack's Vortex Systems Multipacking equipment in North America and will sell this product line as part of a complete end-of-line solution for customers. "Multipacking" is different from "case packing" and is the process, whether partially or entirely automated, by which a product is packed into a container that is then packed into a secondary container such as a case, tray, tote, or otherwise for palletizing and distribution.
CT Pack will have engineering resources based out of Pearson's Chicago, Ill. facility. Additionally, a testing area for CT Pack multipacking technology will be located at Pearson's Spokane facility. This testing space will be used to design and implement multipacking solutions.
