At AVC, we are always striving to introduce unique and innovative packaging designs that are consumer and retailer-friendly as well as environmentally sustainable. Over the years, AVC has developed a number of patented and patent-pending packaging designs to meet various retail packaging needs.

Environmental Rigid Blister (ERB) – this package, made from paperboard with corrugated stiffener and recyclable plastic, cuts down on the use of plastic so it is lighter in weight and more environmentally friendly. It is also easier to open than traditional clamshell packaging.

Environmental Packaging Solution (EPS) –this package, made from recyclable plastic and corrugated, is designed so the consumer can easily separate the corrugated from the plastic after opening the product, which makes it easier to recycle.
Reusable Retail Package (RRP) –this book-like package is designed to serve as the original packaging for retail purposes as well as a storage device that can sit on the consumer’s shelf indefinitely, maintaining all product components together and intact. AVC clients who have made the transition from traditional packaging to our RRP design have seen immediate increases in sales. This product also serves as an invaluable marketing tool for your company as your name brand and logo sit on the consumer’s shelf for the life of your product.

Spinning Clamshell Solution (SCS) – this attractive package is perfect for retail display as it allows the consumer to see all sides of the packaged product. The product is suspended via axles within a frame of an outer clamshell or thermoformed package. It can be designed to spin horizontally or vertically.
Polypropylene Reusable Retail Package (PP-RRP) - AVC’s newest reusable packaging design, a reusable DVD case-style package, can be made in any size or shape. It can also be designed with extra cavities, making the package a multi-purpose storage device.

For example, if your company sells flash media cards, the package will feature a see-through window so the consumer can see the card they are purchasing. When the consumer opens the package, they will see additional cavities for additional media cards. So as the consumer acquires more media cards, they will have an attractive and convenient storage case with your company’s logo and marketing information.

AVC’s PP-RRP features a soft PP-printed overlay that can be printed up to 8 colors, which is sealed directly onto the package. We can also print directly on the PP at a slightly higher cost. Either method eliminates the need for a paper insert, which can save money in material and labor costs and also positions the company as environmentally conscious as it eliminates cross-contamination of plastic and paper. This package also features an integrated locking mechanism to secure the package and eliminate the need for security tape and shrink wrap.
 

AVC’s EnviroTube

 

AVC’s EnviroTube utilizes one type of plastic for the entire package (usually RPET – recycled PET), eliminating cross-contamination of paper and plastic or of multiple types of plastic. This tube-like package concept features an attractive look with a clamshell or thermoformed tray suspended inside, almost as if it were floating within the package. The end caps are made from injection molded or thermoformed plastic, which are molded with slits in the center to hold the internal tray or clamshell, which is also made from the same type of plastic, and keep it suspended within the tube-like package. The internal tray or clamshell will not need to be sealed because it will be secured inside a tube or box made from plastic sheet that is closed with the caps and secured with proprietary sealing techniques. Printing in up to 8 colors can be done directly on the tube portion or a printed plastic film can be laminated to the plastic. Windows can be opened anywhere for optimum product visibility. A printed paper insert that can be easily removed can be used instead of printing onto the tube. This package design is extremely environmental because although it is made entirely from plastic, it is made completely with one type of plastic and therefore, eliminates the problem of cross-contamination, which can negatively affect recycling efforts. AVC has multiple versions of the EnviroTube and can make it in any shape or size.
