Tork products designed for convenience at ISSA/INTERCLEAN
29th of June 2012Tork products are 'designed for your convenience' – that was the key message from SCA. The show saw the official launch of Tork Easy Handling, an ergonomically designed packaging system being introduced in all product categories.
SCA developed this after carrying out an observational study of cleaners across Europe carrying out their daily duties. It found that they spend a significant amount of time refilling washroom paper dispensers, which involved carrying, lifting, opening and discarding packaging.
Incorporating the plastic container Carry Pack and the cardboard box Carry Box, it is designed to improve ergonomics, boost efficiency, save time and prevent stress injuries.
The new handle design means packages can be carried with one hand, and are easier to carry with two hands. There are new options for opening - taped, glued or perforated - and there is a new way of folding empty cardboard boxes. It is now possible to carry up to 10 empty boxes thanks to a new handle, and they are also more suitable for loading pallets.
