About Lock n’Pop Company established 1972 Products sold worldwide Domestic sales through rep and distributor network Exclusive focus on load unitization Primary in product manufacturing and quality control Over 4,000,000,000 pallets stabilized by Lock n’Pop
3
Why Lock n’Pop is Used Increase load stability Reduce costs Increase productivity Eliminate losses due to damages In transit to your DC’s or customers Within the manufacturing location
4
Customers Food and food ingredient processors Beverage processors Chemical manufacturers Produce packers Industrial manufacturers Fine paper manufacturers
5
Customer Examples Tropicana Coca-Cola IBP McCormick Con Agra Hunt-Wesson Cereal Food Processors Krispy Kreme Land O’Lakes Cargill
6
Product Attributes Water-based Repulpable Ingredients approved by FDA, 21 CFR 175.105 Product will set in temperatures from –20 to 180 degrees F Firm locks unaffected by temperature, humidity or time
7
Advantages Over Stretch Wrap Potential cost reduction: Savings in labor and/or materials Minimal capital expense Minimal maintenance Improves throughput
8
Advantages Over Stretch Wrap Improves: Internal load stability Non-routine inspections Space utilization Partial pallet handling
9
Advantages Over Stretch Wrap Customer advantages: Loads still stable after partial depalletizing Avoid mess of condensation under wrap Improve stocking efficiency No disposal mess Improved environmental impact
10
High Racking/Close Tolerances are Easy with Lock n’ Pop
11
Preventing Shifting on Stacked Bags is Easy with Lock n’Pop
12
Advantages over Adhesives Customized product selection No product separation, so no mixing required No volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to report Virtually invisible on packaging for clean results No sticky residue to foul equipment or customers No heat application saves on cost and injury No cobwebbing or build up on equipment or conveyors Low maintenance
13
Lock n’ Pop is Applied Clean, using Unique Low Maintenance Materials and Methods
14
Advantages for Refrigerated or Freezer Storage Unique capability to bond in cold and freezing conditions without using sticky materials Reduction in time and energy for cooling Maintenance of top loading strength by preventing condensation from wrap Improved efficiency of order picking by eliminating need to remove wrap
15
Effects of Condensation Study completed by Nethercote and Boisvenu in Performance & Evaluation of Shipping Containers indicates potential loss of compressive strength up to 70% on boxes that were not wax treated and exposed to refrigerated and/or freezer storage. Condensation was cited as the primary factor contributing to the loss.
16
Application Equipment Auto application (preferred) Taper application Manual application Primitive application
17
U 1000 Automatic Applicator
18
U 1000 Details No tools required for change adjustment PLC control Modular design, pieces can be installed separately Low pressure alarm Sensors with background suppression Single station pump 2 spray guns with spray tips Spare parts Electrical 90-240 VAC with 24 VDC control voltage Air requirements 80-125 PSI CE approved
19
U 50 (Taper Applicator)
20
U 50 Applicator Details Liquid pump Spray tips Spare parts CE approved Requires 110 VAC and 80 PSI air
21
Portable 5-Gallon Manual Applicator
22
Manual Applicator Details Operates like garden sprayer, except that spray pressure is controlled by plant air entering tank through pressure regulator/relief valve. Lock n’Pop is filtered and carried through an expandable hose to the spray gun.
23

Getting Started Plant survey Packaging evaluation Plant trial
25
Plant Survey Customer objectives Application environment Plant physical set up In-house handling, storage, and shipping methods Pallet configuration/s Packaging
26
Packaging Evaluations Product recommendations Application rate recommendations Spray tip recommendations Expectations (good and bad)
27
Preferred Plant Trial Criteria established with customer for determining success Equipment set up as recommended Product run on several pallets for fine tuning Lock and appearance evaluation by plant personnel Final set up based on customer feedback Run for 30 days Final evaluation
28
Equipment Options Buy Rent Buy or rent by including cost in chemical purchase Lease option through 3 rd party
29
Customer Support Reps and distributors provide local service Field service tech available if needed 24-hour customer service Orders processed same day with delivery within 1-3 days, depending on location Packaging evaluations as needed for life of customer No Questions Asked guarantee on product for 1 year from manufacturing date National network of reps and distributors to assist with shipping evaluations
