APPLETON, Wis., Sept. 2, 2009 —Laminations®, part of Great Northern Corporation’s Specialty Group, will use displays and live presentations at booth S5502 of Pack Expo,
Oct. 5-7, in Las Vegas, to demonstrate ways that VBoard® edge protection adds value to corrugated packaging.

Laminations also is extending complimentary passes to Pack Expo attendees through its Web site. “We’re inviting attendees with an interest in learning more about protective packaging and edge protection to be our guest at this year’s Pack Expo,” said Bill Faster, Laminations Vice President, Sales. “Go to www.packexpo.com and click on Register. Type in the following Be Our Guest password — 32L39 — in the Attendee Registration form for a complimentary registration. The password must be used by Oct. 4 and is limited to the first 100 to register.”

In addition to displays, there will be live demonstrations conducted at the Laminations booth on Tuesday, Oct. 6, showing VBoard integrated into corrugated packaging to:

• Increase packaging strength and transport stability
• Reduce transit damage and rejected shipments
• Increase stackability in warehouses
• Protect packaging from wrinkling and crushing, especially during C-clamp loading
• Ensure packaging durability while decreasing corrugated thickness, helping to achieve source reduction goals.

“Laminations’ team of skilled designers and engineers can analyze your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate combination of edge protection and corrugated packaging components,” said Faster.

“We can test appropriate options at our ISTA-certified testing facilities, including shock, drop, puncture and static or dynamic compression testing.”

In addition to the corrugated packaging displays and demonstrations, the Laminations booth will feature its new U-shaped VBoard products. UCrate® offers a versatile, cost-effective choice for protecting long and narrow products during shipping and handling. UChannel® is ideal for protecting the edges of all types and shapes of windows and doors, including garage doors, during transport and storage. The booth also will display the full line of Laminations products including QuikStik®, FlexRoll®, PF PalletTop®, and specially coated VBoard products.
