Geämi, a leading innovator in eco friendly packaging, will showcase its Bubble Wrap ® packaging alternative at the HBA Global Expo & Conference September 28-30, 2010 at The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in NYC. Geämi will hold a featured spot in the New Products Showcase at the Expo.
The company's environmentally responsible paper packaging is made from sustainably sourced Kraft paper that is die cut and then expanded into a honeycomb web. The unique honeycomb web design results in a resilient and cost effective protective packaging and cushioning material that replaces oil-based plastic packaging materials such as Bubble Wrap® and air pillows used to protect products during shipment.
"We've been in business for 15 years -- but now that the public is 'voting' with their dollars by increasingly choosing to do business with environmentally conscious companies, the demand for our eco-friendly packaging solutions has been on the rise. Our customers are not only making a positive impact on the environment, but also improving the look of their products in the shipping box and enhancing their public brand image," said Lynn Moe, Business Development Director of Geämi.
Numerous Fortune 500 companies and Top 100 Catalogers currently use Geämi for their packaging solutions. In 2009, over 4 million packages were shipped using Geämi to protect their contents during shipping and handling.
"Companies that ship beauty products have found that bundling items together in Geami has provided opportunities to reduce their overall packaging costs. We are excited to be exhibiting at HBA Global Expo to demonstrate these packaging solutions," said Moe.
