For Johnsonville Sausage, the country’s No. 1 sausage brand, improving overall efficiency was a key priority. When a persistent “flipped zipper” challenge interfered with streamlining production of smoked and cooked sausages, it was time for a change. To expedite production and continuously deliver consumer-dependable, high-quality products, Johnsonville teamed up with Presto Products Company.
Johnsonville was experiencing a high percentage of packaging rejects that employed a single-lock-style zippered package for all smoked and cooked sausage products. These packaging rejects posed a significant challenge to the company as it moved to maintain and improve efficiencies while reducing waste.
