APC FLEX CUBE
More Efficient Packaging; Ship More Product, Less Air
APC FlexCube is a preformed cuboid-shaped pouch designed to help brands make more efficient use of packaging, shipping and shelf space. Its geometric format creates a distinctive, high-impact presentation for large-format products while improving the product-to-package ratio and helping reduce excess headspace. Depending on the application, the space-efficient format can use 30-40% less material than traditional flexible packaging formats. Compared with alternative rigid formats, APC FlexCube can support source reduction, improve the product-to-package ratio, and help lower the package’s carbon footprint. APC FlexCube is an authorized Pouch3 format.
