Cost-Effective, 100% Recyclable Wine Packaging System on Display at DTCWS 2016

January 8, 2016 – Georgetown, Massachusetts – UFP Technologies, a producer of innovative, custom-engineered components, products, and specialty packaging, will be exhibiting molded fiber/pulp wine packs in conjunction with Grafor Packaging at the Direct to Consumer Wine Symposium (DTCWS) from January 13-14 in Concord, CA at booth 18.

DTCWS is the wine industry's premier summit on direct wine marketing and sales.

On display at this year’s summit will be Grafcor’s UP Standing ^TM Wine Packaging system. The UP Standing Wine Packaging system is a cost-effective, 100% recyclable, easy to use system that stores bottles vertically throughout shipping. The packaging, manufactured by UFP Technologies, uses a combination of molded fiber cushions and corrugated inserts to achieve its unparalleled protection.

The innovative vertical packaging design allows distribution facilities to pack bottles at a faster rate compared to the traditional “lay down” configuration and allows for efficient quality control checks prior to packages leaving the facility.
