TRICO Products Corporation (dunnage trays)

Wrapping windshield wipers was wiping out profits until Jamestown Plastics came to the rescue.

TRICO Products Corporation is a major manufacturer of windshield wipers. As part of their packaging pack-out process, TRICO employees would wrap every pair of wipers in kraft paper and place the wrapped wipers into cartons.

The problem with wrapping wipers is that it takes too much time and was a problem for the auto manufacturers using the wipers, both of which wipes out profits. TRICO initially looked at foam packing inserts as a solution but, while they reduced pack-out time, the inserts took up too much space.

Enter Jamestown Plastics. We designed custom dunnage trays that eliminated the paper overwrap, enhanced product protection, and dramatically reduced labor costs for both TRICO and their customers.
