Scholle Packaging Introduces SCHOLLE A2B | 09/28/2007
Scholle Packaging, a long-time supplier of Flexitanks to the bulk liquids shipping market has recently launched a new venture named Scholle A2B!
Scholle A2B capitalizes on Scholle Packaging's operations and manufacturing excellence in flexible packaging (historically bag-in-box) and extensive global relationships with logistics suppliers to form its own fully-integrated service division. Scholle has over 15 years experience in the manufacture of Flexitanks, and has supplied the world's leading liquid logistics companies through the infancy of the industry to present day.
 As a truly multinational organization, Scholle Packaging employs over 2,000 staff and has the benefit of manufacturing, sales and marketing and technical support resources in North and South America, Europe and Asia Pacific. As a company, they are active across a wide variety of food and beverage businesses, supplying a large range of flexible polymer packaging products.
Consider the radical idea of a global packaging leader moving your liquid products from A to B? Perhaps not so radical; for over twenty years Scholle Packaging has been importing and exporting products across the globe. Consequently, there is today a large knowledge and experience base within the organization to administer the shipping of containerized freight.
Today Scholle controls and administers several thousand container shipments every year to service existing business and inter-company requirements. This global trade has created some longstanding and unique relationships within the logistics industry, and today, Scholle has a network of freight forwarding, trucking and shipping capability providing logistics service options on most of the main intercontinental trade lanes.
Scholle A2B is much more than a simple logistics supplier; their unique Integrated Packaging Solutions are critical to a partnership offering and encompassing many opportunities at several levels of business. Trained, experienced auditors can assist with your current state and offer cost-saving suggestions that could save money right away. An integral Research and Development team is ready and willing to partner with you to solve packaging issues you might currently be experiencing and then develop a better solution. Experienced logistics coordinators are skilled at moving your consignments from port A to B safely, efficiently and most importantly, without loss in quality.
Share your goals and objectives with Scholle A2B and they will take up the challenge to provide you with a superior service option that integrates seamlessly into your operations.

Scholle Launches the Industry's First Single-Ply Flexitank With Incorporated Oxygen Barrier | 01/07/2007
Scholle A2B has committed over two years in developing the first single-ply Flexitank to have an integrated oxygen barrier.
 Single-ply Flexitanks are rapidly being adopted by the industry as the leading bulk liquid packaging solution, based on their quality and handling benefits. However, most of these products rely on an external sleeve of barrier material to afford some measure of oxygen protection since the parent polyethylene material has good structural properties, but very poor barrier properties. This modification is inherently problematic.
The methods of attaching these sleeves to the Flexitank usually introduce significant quantities of air between the two materials, effectively bypassing the barrier. In operations, particularly the container fitting process and Flexitank loading, this flimsy barrier sleeve often sustains cuts and tears to its structure.
Small breaches in the barrier sleeve are usually enough to reduce the efficacy of the barrier material to a point where it offers almost no oxygen protection. A further disadvantage of the very popular EVOH (Ethyl Vinyl Alcohol) sleeve is moisture sensitivity.
The dramatic impact rising moisture levels have on the barrier value of EVOH is a very well known phenomenon. Moisture vapour passing through a filled Flexitank, in combination with atmospheric moisture, degrade the oxygen barrier values of EVOH significantly. Scholle's incorporated barrier Flexitank does not use moisture sensitive barrier products. The critical barrier performance elements are sandwiched into the parent polyethylene matrix to ensure a known and sustained barrier performance over the entire supply chain voyage giving maximum benefit.
Having a truly single-ply material such as Scholle's Flexitank, that is easily recycled, has clear environmental benefits. The added complexity and cost associated with separating plies of material in the recycling process unfortunately usually means the entire package is sent to landfill. Is sustained and known product protection in the supply chain important to you and your organization? Scholle offers solutions to discerning customers across the globe, speak to us today.
