Femaag is the only supplier capable of proposing solutions for 4 different patterns of nested packs applied on groupings ranging from 6 to 40 units :
- symmetrical staggering of columns
- asymmetrical staggering of columns
- staggering of rows
- semi-staggering (patented concept)
- asymmetric x12
- symmetrical x12
- row x12
- semi-staggered x12
- asymmetric x24
- symmetrical x24
- row x24
- semi-staggered x24
Our exhaustive offering gives manufacturers the freedom to choose the pattern that will generate the maximum savings in packaging materials as well as on logistics and that will best enhance their brand on shelves.
Our Nest’Packer staggering devices allow to achieve as simply the symmetrical staggering of columns or of rows, the asymmetrical staggering of columns and the semi-staggering. The two latter patterns should also be considered as they offer real benefits against the others.
Benefits of semi-staggering :
- maximum nesting of the packs on the pallet (higher loading, better stability)
- large facing (brand image, communication to consumers)
Benefits of asymmetrical staggering of columns :
- brings the highest level of pack stiffness
- smaller and stronger bull’s eyes (first column with one container less) : additional savings on film thickness ; less risk of having a container taken out through the bull’s eye
- attractive and convenient for consumers
This arrangement is very easy to produce on any ligne with our Nest’packer asymmetrical staggering device (patented).
We believe that any nested pack project should always benefit from an exhaustive comparative study of all patterns. This simply because the optimum one depends on several parameters :
- diameter of the container
- number of containers grouped together
- dimensions of the pallets
- accepted overhangs
