ecoconscious gardeners reap benefits from switching a blended compost tea to a greener and costeffective flexible packaging structure. the cofounder and coo of vermicrop organics of rockin, in carlifornia, john perrino, explained that the company chose a design by flair flexible packaging of a spoutandpouch combination, or fitment pouch, to solve the problem of a costly and laborintensive supply system. perrino also said that each of the garden shops selling vermit solution have brewers of their own to brew onsite. their kits were sent to the garden shops along with half and whole gallon sizes of empty bottles for filling. the bottles were manually labeled in their warehouse. they could not manage the time taken, the cost of warehousing empty bottles and shipping. vermicrop organics can now print the pouches with vibrant, eightcolor graphics, due to the latest halfgallon pouch with triplelayer lamination and a resealablereusable pourspout fitment of 22mm. one shipment can be warehoused on less than two pallets by the company which is as good as a full truckload of old rigid bottles they used to supply. perrino said that he is more in favor of the dramatic decrease in shipping costs of the kits, rather than the beautiful packaging. he further explained that flat, unfilled pouches are now being shipped in place of the rigid bottles. selling compost tea in a pouch is not practiced by anyone in the organic gardening industry. thus, their mission aims at exploring innovative ways for making meaningful changes. the u.s., canada, and parts of europe will receive a range of natureinspired horticultural inoculants and growing media are supplied by vermicrop organics. source of information httpwww.packworld.compackagedesignrigidflexiblecompostteagoesgreenerfitment…
