Long-Term Cost Control
Command Packaging is the only reusable grocery bag manufacturer controlling 100% of its supply of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic. The resulting cost control enables us to pass significant savings on to our customers in the form of long-term cost control. We are vertically integrated. Our 125,000 square foot recycling facility, Encore Recycling, recycles millions of pounds of plastic film to specifically make grocery bags. No other supplier in the US can make such a claim or provide such stable pricing opportunities for contract customers.
Other Benefits Include:
- Technologically-advanced triple layer extrusion process that provides greater PCR content and durability, while still providing bag color and high quality printing options.
- Through a sustainable source of recyclable material, we provide a cost advatntage over single-use paper bags. Added cost control benefits in the form of cost savings of transport and storage are immediately realized with our sustainable grocery bag.
- Retrofitting our grocery bag to existing single-use plastic dispensers is fast and easy.
