What manufacturers are saying… Clamtainer® helps Powell realize 90% reduction in packaging costs What do an electronics distributor and custom plastic company have in common? A lot if you are talking about Powell Electronics, Jamestown Plastics, and their approach to better serving the electronics connector market! Powell Electronics specializes in high reliability, harsh environment connector design, manufacturing, and supply chain. They manage over 7 million SKUs, many of which are custom-made to their customers’ unique needs and specifications. Because of this customization, packaging of their products for safe transit can be challenging. For 20 years Ernie Schilling, Jr., CEO of Powell Electronics, had been searching for a flexible packaging solution that would work for his business. He wanted to move away from the time-consuming process his team was using that involved manipulating standard packaging and cutting packages down to protect the highly sensitive products that Powell was shipping. Enter Jamestown Plastics! A couple of years ago Schilling attended the SHOT Show where he came across Clamtainer®, a patented packaging solution from Jamestown Plastics that turns the cursed clamshell into a reusable container. As the two companies started talking, they soon realized that Clamtainer could be tremendous help for Powell Electronics. Clamtainer provides a more efficient packing process, requiring no buttons, no welding, no heat sealing, and no equipment to buy or maintain. Clamtainer also stays securely closed but can be easily opened with one hand. Even better…it can be reused to store the original item that came inside of it or other items that fit. Clamtainer is also recyclable once it reaches the end of its useful life. Powell Electronics introduced Clamtainer to its fulfillment processes with minimal changes to its procedures. Since starting with Clamtainer, Powell has seen tremendous improvements and savings: The “decision tree” for determining packaging is much easier for the packing team, providing a 500-fold increase in packing efficiency.By using clear Clamtainers, the inspection department can inspect the product before shipping without having to open the container.Total packaging costs (labor and materials) have decreased 90%.With packaging that better fits and protects its products during transit, returns have decreased 75% Together, Powell Electronics and Jamestown Plastics are helping to ensure these highly sensitive (and in many cases urgently needed) products are protected during transit and while being stored, all while packaging the products much more efficiently! Contact Jamestown Plastics today to discuss how Clamtainer can be used within your business! I wanted to share a quick note on Clamtainer. You introduced me to Clamtainer with the Click it Closure Technology, claiming we could fill it with any product and drop the container on the floor without breaking open. My team tested Clamtainer in our product testing center using Fasteners and other heavy MRO/OEM products. To my surprise, the container did not break open when falling to the ground or even after a short toss across the room. After the testing, your team worked very closely with us to manufacture a custom sized Clamtainer, including our company logo on the front, and helped us develop marketing materials for our branches that illustrated the benefit of the Click it Closure technology. Clamtainer allows our branches to very quickly package a wide variety of products and dispense these products through our vending machines without it damaging or breaking open when it lands. And the Clamtainers are extremely durable which allows us to reuse them multiple times helping reduce the cost of packaging these products. Dave MadsenSolutions Support Manager We were so impressed by the quality of Clamtainer clamshells that we designed a new product line specifically for these clams. Jamestown worked with us to come up with clamshells to hold the calibers we wanted in the quantities we wanted, even designing two new Clamtainers to meet our needs. Once we decided on all of the Clamtainers we needed, they did a great job of getting Clamtainers delivered to us very quickly. Our new product line is selling like hotcakes, and I believe that is, at least in part, due to the packaging. The team at Jamestown has been great to work with, and we are looking forward to growing this product line with more Clamtainers from Jamestown. Elizabeth FriedmannManager of Marketing Services My crew and I simply fell in love with our Clamtainers. We put screws, nuts, bolts, wire nuts, you name it into them and close it with one hand and then open with one hand. We toss them into our tool belts, behind the truck seat, into the tool boxes, everyplace. One of the best things is they don't fall apart in wet weather when we get rained out and leave screws and such on the job site. No more mushed broken boxes and rusted hardware.
