CDF Corporation, the leading manufacturer of drum, pail and intermediate bulk container liners and flexible packaging, has developed the Smart Pail, an environmentally friendly replacement for rigid pails. The Smart Pail is comprised of a light-weight, square shaped liner designed for use with a 100% recyclable corrugate container. Considerable cost-savings are possible for the user because the Smart Pail reduces input energy and maximizes overall efficiencies, without sacrificing the quality and reliability required of pail systems.

The Smart Pail provides businesses a means to boost revenue and promote green business practices, by easily being integrated into present single and multi-head filling lines. The cube shaped pail liner weighs 87% less than a rigid pail, allowing the user to maximize energy efficiencies and productivity rates. One truckload of empty Smart Pails is equivalent to 5 truckloads of empty rigid pails. Inbound transportation costs, fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, while maximizing inventory space.

When palletized, the Smart Pail can be stacked one extra skidded layer over rigid pails because of its cube shape. This equates to 33% more product-per-pallet. The corrugate over pack is 100% recyclable. The liner is high-density polyethylene, recycle code 2.

In todays business climate, it is becoming all the more important to be cost-effective and environmentally-conscious, said CDF Chief Operating Officer Laura Beechwood. The Smart Pail is a revolutionary product that will cut costs, help drive future business growth, and improve company environmental efforts creating an all-around smart system.

The Smart Pail is comes with two lidding options. The film can be hermetically sealed to the liner, creating an air-tight, tamper-proof seal ensuring product purity for users handling products that need to maintain freshness or storing capacity. A snap-on lid is also available for users requiring a quick turnaround for their product. The snap on lid simplifies the process of filling and emptying the product.

The Smart Pail was developed specifically for thick viscous products, such as paint, ink, cosmetic compounds, drywall mud, roof sealant, powders and flakes.

The Smart Pail is just one of many innovative flexible packages CDF offers. Other products include the Cheer Pack, Cheertainer bag-in-box, EZ-Strainer inserts for drums and pails and Air-Assist IBC liners.

Since its inception in 1971, the company has maintained an energetic entrepreneurial approach to industrial packaging design, manufacturing and promotion.
