      THE KEY DRIVERS

      Q. What were you using before choosing ITB integrated solutions, and what were the key drivers that had you convert from your existing supplier to ITB Packaging?

      “Our original packaging was a standardized box configuration and manually inserted dividers. By upgrading to ITB’s packaging solutions we were able to achieve a higher level of productivity per hour and additionally, lower stress on staff to achieve a higher packaging rate with less effort. Both situations are a win!”

By creating a streamlined process and eliminating a step in our manufacturing process our staff can work with greater capacity and less stress.”
