TEAR-RESISTANT PACKAGING
MWV Offers New Security Carton
Mead Westvaco Corp. (MWV), Richmond, Va., released its
tear-resistant paperboard-security carton packaging solution
last week at the 2011 International CES show in Las Vegas.
This new product complements the company’s Natralock
security package, and offers brand owners and retailers additional options in security packaging solutions that allow
them to display their products on the shelves without the use
of obtrusive and expensive security devices like spider wraps,
locked cases and safers.
The customizable security carton is ideal for consumer electronics products, as it permits shoppers to access the product
on the shelf, ultimately improving the brand experience. And
while it cannot be ripped open in the store due to its proprietary
tear-resistant technology, it can be opened safely when using a
pair of household scissors.
