Capabilities

• If you?re a new customer and you need packaging advice, one of our packaging consultants will work on your requirements with the aid of our renowned design team.
  
  
• Acme features a state-of-the-art ?packaging development room? utilizing state-of-the-art CAD technology to design your custom box. Specifications are given to one of our designers, who can instantly access thousands of variations to aid the creation of the requested sample.
  
  
• Once you?re satisfied with your sample and are ready to place an order, you may call, e-mail, or fax your sales consultant or one of our customer service representatives.
  
  
• Your order is sent to our scheduling department, which confirms the desired production and shipping date, then coordinates the details with our corrugator and converting departments.
  
  
• Scheduling selects the appropriate paper from our roll room. Roll stock is acquired from various paper mills in the United States and Canada, and we always have a variety of medium and liner grades in stock.
  
  
• Medium grades range from 23# to 40# and liner grades range from 26# to 56#. We normally carry mottled white and kraft liner, but can special order any color. Our extensive inventory and our flexibility allow us to customize many board combinations fitted specifically to your unique packaging needs.
  
  
• Your order is scheduled and run on a corrugator, which takes rolls of medium and liner and combines them into corrugated sheets. Heat and moisture are applied to assist in molding a ?fluted? shape and starch is applied to the flute tips to bond them to the linerboard.
  
  
• After leaving the corrugator line, sheets are directed to one of our converting machines, including six Flexographic folder-gluers and three die cutters.
  
  
• Each unit of material has its own bar code license plate and is tracked throughout the manufacturing process.
  
  
• Your order is tracked all the way to your door. Our tractors all carry GPS identifiers and truck location is available in real time!
  
  
• Your finished order is then conveyed automatically into our shipping area.
  
  
• At any point in the process, random tests may be performed in our laboratory to ensure the quality of your order. Some of the tests we may run include: caliper, edge crush, ring crush, flat crush, pin adhesion, and basis weight. Acme backs up its quality pledge with hard data.
  
  
• Once your order has been completed, our shipping department schedules its delivery. Your order is neatly banded and carefully loaded on our trucks, ready to arrive at your place of business when you need it.
