And the possibilities are endless

Laura Obregon, Packaging Consulltant

There are many aspects that can make or break a brand. Shelf impact and appeal are

paramount to sales. A package with a long shelf life brings advantages to both the

retailer and the end user. Sustainability is important to many consumers as well as to the

retail outlets. Regardless of your packaging requirements, our specialists are ready to

offer an impressive array of options designed specifi cally to help your business succeed.

Collectively, we call them Options Plus. The plus is our people.

As you look for a partner, make the decision based on who offers the best options.

At TricorBraun, our best options are our people.

What makes one company different from the next? Is it the buildings that house them?

The city they’re in? The hours they keep?

No, the difference is in the options they offer.

Options are essential to the success of a business. At TricorBraun we provide the kind

of options only a company our size and stature in the industry can tender. Some you’d

expect. Most you wouldn’t. Collectively, we call them Options Plus.

The plus is us — the people of TricorBraun.

Integrity is the quality valued more than any other because it governs character. It’s a standard that we strive to attain with every phone call answered, suggestion made, order placed or delivery scheduled. An uncompromising ethical and moral approach and a sincere desire to assist and do the right thing in any given situation is just how we do business. Without integrity, the rest doesn’t matter.

Global Sourcing

The one missing component, perfect for the packaging of your latest product, is usually found right here

in North America, but if not, we’ve got a world full of options. The Pacifi c Rim, India, Southeast Asia,

Europe, Canada, and Mexico are all places where we do business on a regular basis. Wherever it is, we’ll

get it for you. As the largest rigid packaging company in North America, with more than 40 locations in

the United States and overseas, we are more than capable. Our reputation is stellar. Our relationships

are strong. It’s our commitment and effort that has put us in this position. We’re able to provide reliable,

consistent information on your projects’ logistical issues. Those of us living overseas are specialists in

customs and import regulations. We work face to face with our manufacturers, one to one, helping you

get what you want, when you want, at the best and most accurate price. Everything we do is supported by

the local Packaging Consultant and Account Coordinator you deal with daily.

Package Design & Development

Packaging is never one size fi ts all. Our award-winning designers will work with you to develop highly

creative and strategically focused solutions for your specifi c requirements. With a comprehensive

library of over 35,000 available designs there might be something there just perfect for your product.

Or, we can create a completely original and product-specifi c package design for you. Whether it’s a

stock, modifi ed or custom solution, it can be easily and quickly completed and brought to market using

state-of–the-art technology.

First and foremost, TricorBraun is a service business. It’s our job to be responsive to the needs and goals of every person we interact with. Customers. Suppliers. Co-workers. And we love our job. The pride and pleasure taken in getting it done is tangible. Being able to deliver for you is our pleasure. People have called it superior customer service. Frankly, we don’t know any other kind.

Customer Service

Unless you have unbridled enthusiasm for the job you’re doing, you can’t do the best job possible. Nowhere is that truer than

Customer Service. Many of us are trained to provide specifi c services–we’re experts. And we make our expertise available

to everyone involved. An assigned Account Coordinator acts as liaison between internal disciplines, the customers and the

vendors to expedite answers and solutions.

Since Sales Consultants handle 15 to 25 customers instead of territories, we’re able to provide a level of service unsurpassed

in the industry. Our people are as passionate about your business as they are about ours.

Knowledge

Collectively, our people represent centuries of industry expertise. It wins us awards and allows us to create unique ways

to service customers. We’re always looking to increase that knowledge. Our Global Business Development Group focuses

on specifi c markets — learning the needs and concerns. This intense study drives innovation and technological advances.

Often those advances are not just specifi c to those markets. Your next project might be the benefi ciary of that innovation.

We’re involved with many trade organizations. The Sustainable Packaging Coalition is a very important one to us. Being

good to the earth is more than a cliché. We deliberately look for logistically appropriate and environmentally conscious

manufacturers and suppliers to help enable everyone’s commitment to sustainability.

We’re proud to be a knowledge resource for the industry, making the latest news available on our website. Not surprisingly,

many companies have taken advantage of that resource. They understand that with our extensive industry-leading

experience, there’s no better place to get information that helps them improve their profi tability.

Engineering

Packaging happens in phases. Which is why some of us are full-time packaging

engineering specialists. We rely on our extensive technical expertise to make sure your

packaging is successfully manufactured to your specifi cations. No one needs a package

that won’t work on the fi lling line or leaks during shipping. Using the latest engineering

software and hardware, our highly skilled engineers and mold technicians take pride in

moving your project effectively and effi ciently from concept to completion.

Logistics

Being organized is a quality that makes everything easier. Working with warehouse and

branch offi ces nationwide and internationally, our detail oriented Account Coordinators

and Global Sourcing Specialists collaborate with you to speed your product to market.

At TricorBraun, we’re enabled to make the right decisions at the right time. It’s our culture to work as a team. Each of us understands our job and the importance of it in the overall scheme of your project. At each step we’ll get you the right information when you need it and explain your options. In the end, our job is to make yours easier. You can count on it.


There’s something to be said for playing to one’s strengths. And, like TricorBraun, if you have a lot of them to play to, all the better. Strength in an industry gives us leverage. And that leverage gives us even more ways to service our customer.

Scale, Stability & Supplier Relationships

Quite simply, TricorBraun is North America’s largest rigid packaging supplier. With our fi nancial security

and steady growth, combined with our supplier relationships domestically and around the world, no one is

better poised to negotiate the best services and costs on your behalf. We choose dedicated manufacturers

who share our level of involvement, dedication and support for your success.

In truth, it really is about the people. And for good reason.

Orders don’t place themselves. Containers don’t design

themselves. Global sourcing doesn’t happen by itself. It takes

people to make it happen. The right people.


Strong and caring. Interested and involved. Decisive and collaborative. These are

the kind of people you need to work with if your business is going to succeed.

These are the kind of people you’ll fi nd at TricorBraun.

Because the most essential option is the human one.
