2 THE SOLUTION PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY FOR SMART BUSINESS Protective Packaging Solutions Our Customers Spoke, We Listened Foam-in-place (FIP) protective packaging has been around for more than 30 years, but never has there been a solution quite like this. IntelliPack foam-in-place systems transform mature technology into a cutting edge approach. With five degrees of separation from the competition, IntelliPack offers customers cost-effective productivity via its multiple features: Void Fill Telemetry enables proactive, preventative maintenance 24/7. Costly, unexpected downtime is an inconvenience of the past! Bar-coding controls the amount of consumables. By removing the guesswork materials and packaging components are better managed; pack consistency and line efficiency are improved. Equipment design is safe, intuitive, ergonomic and easy to use. A machine you can rely on. Changing parts takes only seconds! Customer focused means speed, service and satisfaction, guaranteed. Blocking and Bracing 5 The Advantage Program enables us to customize FIP solutions for changing customer needs. How it Works Foam-in-place polyurethane is molded in real-time by combining two liquid foams in a pre-fabricated mold, high density polyethylene (HDPE) bag or film. The mixture expands rapidly around the product being protected, creating a custom protective shell. IntelliPack foam-in-place is a time-tested, field-proven packaging alternative designed to help the busiest, high-volume warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities work simpler and smarter. Whether the need is protective void fill, blocking and bracing, cushioning, or pre-molded pads, IntelliPack systems feature the most costeffective, time-efficient foam-in-place packaging technology in the industry. IntelliPack foam-in-place systems deliver the highest degree of packaging protection across multiple applications, fast. Cushioning Pre-Molds

3 The IntelliPack Advantage Program Custom program designed for your specific needs No up-front capital investment Installation, training and on-going support All parts and labor included Telemetry preventative maintenance and bar coding included Lifetime warranty on parts and equipment Automatic mechanical and software upgrades ensure that our customers always have the latest state-of-the-art technology Ongoing expert consultation for changes in your packaging needs Flexible program for changing business needs Maximum Space And Cost Efficiency IntelliPack foam-in-place expands to more than 200 times its original liquid state. For example, two 55-gallon drums turn into the equivalent of a 53-ft tractor-trailer load of protective packaging material. The film used to create the bag into which the liquid foam is poured arrives flat and takes up little space, allowing customers to maximize warehouse space and minimize costs. Design Labs To Help Meet Customer Needs Pregis customers have access to our national design and packaging labs. Each lab is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to make sure your package meets or exceeds performance requirements. These include: Dynamic cushion curves Drop test Tensile strength Compression strength Compression set Creep Density Cell count Water absorption Antistatic properties Pregis will identify specific technical requirements for your application and develop a custom packaging solution based on a comprehensive needs analysis. We conduct the necessary testing and provide a detailed report of findings and recommend next steps. We guarantee our customers a quality product that performs consistently in the most demanding of shipping environments.

10 SPECIAL FEATURES Pregis IntelliPack foam-in-place systems raise the bar on packaging intelligence. Included with each machine at no additional charge, IntelliPack TELEMETRY and BAR-CODING define next-generation technology by helping companies run their packaging function better, smarter. Only IntelliPack brand foam-in-place systems offer this capability. TELEMETRY Telemetry is one of the smart features available on IntelliPack foam-in-place packaging systems. It is designed to help customers: Increase productivity; Optimize equipment performance; and Stay steps ahead of unexpected problems or costly downtime In other words, it s like having a dedicated service technician on site, around the clock. IntelliPack s telemetry automatically collects, monitors and measures critical information, such as liquid foam and film usage, temperature, pressure and other system parameters each time the equipment is operated. With IntelliPack s telemetry, your system performs daily diagnostic testing to ensure that the machine stays up and running. Your IntelliPack service technician will customize control boundaries for your foam-in-place system based on the frequency and equipment use profile. If a potential problem is detected, your foam-in-place system will automatically contact an IntelliPack service tech. In order to view reports on consumables consumption and other variable statistics associated with your IntelliPack equipment, simply log onto an internet-based, password-protected account. Daily and monthly reports on systems diagnostics, foam and film use are all available at the push of a button. Features Benefits BAR-CODING IntelliPack s second smart feature includes bar-coding, a technology which enables operations with diverse product lines to deliver consistent packaging protection. It s as easy as ! The process is simple, automatic and ensures your products are protected with the right amount of liquid foam and film every time: Your IntelliPack sales and service team will work with you to develop an optimal pack-out for each diverse product you are packaging and assign an individual bar code to it. Your foam-in-place system will then be programmed with the bar code data and associated pack-out requirements for all of your products. (This information tells your system the exact amount of liquid foam and film required to properly package each specific product.) During the packaging process, operators simply scan the bar code label (for the specific product) using a hand wand. The IntelliPack system automatically dispenses the precise amount of liquid foam and film needed. Preventative maintenance Your foam-in-place system automatically contacts an IntelliPack service technician for maintenance or troubleshooting. Features Benefits Automatic ordering option Simple connectivity IntelliPack s telemetry will automatically reorder chemicals or film when it detects low supplies, helping you minimize unexpected costly downtime. All you need is an existing analog phone line (i.e., a fax line) to start enjoying IntelliPack s telemetry. Your IntelliPack service technician will take care of installation and connectivity. Multiple systems can be tied together using one phone line. Increase Productivity Improve Protection With a swipe of the bar code, your IntelliPack system automatically dispenses the bags at the specified rate to keep your line moving. No more delays. No more bottlenecks. IntelliPack s Bar Code feature takes the guesswork out of product protection so that each and every box arrives at its destination in ideal condition. Greater efficiency Save on raw material costs! Your IntelliPack system tracks the amount of consumables used by your machine every day. A history feature enables you to audit operational performance at a glance to determine if you re using more chemicals or film than necessary. Reduce Waste Packaging operators simply scan the bar code label to ensure the proper amount of liquid foam and film are dispensed. No more excess foam. No more waste.
