Gerber and Gateway Plastics Get Green
When Gerber targeted their puréed baby food over cap for gram weight reduction and design enhancements, they chose Gateway Plastics as their molding partner.
The challenge; take weight out of a part already less than four grams, while improving the design for better flow-through on the Gerber fill lines.
The result; Gateway completely redesigned the over-cap snap features while reducing the gram weight by 14%. Not only is Gerber saving money on resin, the redesigned cap performs better on their food filling lines, decreasing down time and cap scrap.
