For Immediate Release

TurtlePak™ protective packaging is now available from SCA Packaging NA and will be displayed for the first time among SCA’s full line of protective packaging in Booth # S-1466 at PACK EXPO International 2006 trade show, October 29 – November 2, McCormick Place Convention Center, in Chicago. The company recently entered into a business relationship with AdvancePak Inc., the manufacturer of TurtlePak to provide sales and technical support.

TurtlePak is a patented protective inner pack that utilizes film and corrugated board to firmly suspend fragile products in the center of a container, safely distanced from all sides of the shipper. It is constructed with 100% curbside recyclable materials that reduce packaging costs as much as 30% compared to traditional packaging materials. Typical product applications include electronic, medical devices, lab analytical equipment and climate control devices.

“We look forward to a successful, long-term relationship with SCA Packaging,” said Brian McBride, president, AdvancePak. “SCA’s design and testing expertise expands our ability to develop innovative new products for new and existing customers.”

“TurtlePak fits our material neutral design philosophy and supports our commitment to offer additional sustainable material options to our customers,” said Michael Mettee, northern region sales director for SCA Packaging NA. “Right now we are focused on increasing sales and providing technical support. We’re also looking at manufacturing current TurtlePak projects in select SCA facilities in the near future.”
