That Time of Year Again!

I apologize. This might result in a bunch of you unsubscribing. I really hope not though. The last couple weeks have been extremely busy with both work and personal life.

That said, it is that time of year again. It’s the end of August currently and before we know it, we’ll see freezing temps again. Pricing is below for in-season and ahead-of-season orders.

That said - next month I’ll be writing an article about either corrugated (ECT vs. mullen, fluting, styles, and print capabilities) OR on how to properly evaluate and compare different stretch films. I haven’t quite decided yet but if you have a preference, let me know!

Did You Run out of Ice Melt Last Year?

If you bought early and didn’t need more come the new year, you might not have known but there was a shortage of ice melt this past season. One of the salt mines just flat went out of business leaving an industry shortage.

Many of you did experience this though.

In an effort to avoid any shortages and also allow our warehouse team time to plan around large orders, we’ll be running a special for ahead-of-season orders.

Standard Pricing:

1-48 bags: $11.78/bag

Need Other Cold-Weather Supplies?

FlexPAC does more than packaging and ice melt. Perhaps you’ve dealt with an unhappy maintenance team about not having the proper tools (or argued with them over their bill at the local hardware store). Or maybe your lobby looks like it might as well be outside once salt and snow get tracked in. The above is just a starting point — if you want to get ahead of any frustrations you’ve experienced in the past, we can help.

Again, apologies for not sharing something more insightful or of value to your operation. I started to put a corrugated article together last night but thought this MIGHT be a better move. For those of you who are customers, you’ve seen my mass blind copy emails in the past. Hopefully this has some more information than said emails. Next month we’ll be back to the standard monthly schedule of: market update, product highlight, and then a “deep” dive of a packaging topic (either corrugated or how to evaluate alternative stretch films).
