If you’re a
new customer and need packaging advice, one of our packaging
consultants will work on your requirements with the aid of our
design team. |

 ACME
features a state-of-the-art “packaging development room”
utilizing CAD equipment to design box samples. Specifications
are given to our designer who can instantly access thousands of
designs which allow the creation of the sample you have
requested.
Once you’re satisfied with your sample, and are ready to place
your order, you may
call, email or fax your sales consultant or one of our customer
service representatives. Customer service then sends your order
to our scheduling department. The scheduling department confirms
the desired production and shipping date. The order is then
scheduled through our corrugator and then through our converting
department. When the order is complete and ready for shipping ,
our shipping department schedules your delivery.
|
 When
your order is placed, Scheduling will select the appropriate paper
from our roll room. Roll stock is bought from various paper mills in
the United States and Canada. We keep a variety of medium and liner
grades in stock. Medium grades range from 23# to 40# and liner
grades range from 26# to 90#.We normally carry mottled white and
kraft liner but we can special order any color. Our extensive
inventory and our flexibility allow us to make many unique board
combinations fitted specifically to your packaging needs. |
|
Your order will be scheduled and run on our corrugator. Our
narrow width corrugators take rolls of medium and liner and
combine them into corrugated sheets. Heat and moisture are
applied to the medium to assist in molding it into a ‘fluted’
shape and starch is applied to the flute tips to bond it to the
linerboard. |

| After leaving our
corrugator line, sheets are directed to one of many converting
machines including 5 flexo folder-gluers and 3 die cutters. Click on

 Your
finished order moves down the assembly line to our shipping area.
Random tests may be performed on your order to ensure quality. |
| |
 ACME
has recently constructed a laboratory and purchased state-of-the-art
equipment with the capability of conducting a multitude of tests
assuring the quality of the paper consumed. This laboratory now
allows us to back up our quality claims with hard data. Some of the
tests we are currently able to run include: caliper, edge crush,
ring crush, flat crush, pin adhesion, and basis weight. |

|
 Your
order is then banded neatly and put on trucks which will arrive at
your place of business when you need it. |
