And depending on the product, fog may lead to an actual reduction in quality and to spoilage. GOOD PACKAGING ALSO PROTECTS YOUR BRAND Product brand identity is the sum of many factors, including the quality of packaging used. This, in turn, keeps food attractive to consumers for longer durations, and can also help maintain food quality by minimizing spoilage.

Richardson continued, "DSS was also impacted by ongoing costs associated with our efforts to improve service, on time delivery and quality as we align assets with our customers' needs." Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from the realignment of assets, including the closure of manufacturing facilities; the timing of closings and shifts of production to new facilities related to asset realignments and any unforeseen loss of customers and/or disruptions of service or quality caused by such closings and/or production shifts; separation and severance amounts that differ from original estimates; amounts for non-cash charges related to asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation realignments of property, plant and equipment, that differ from original estimates; our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate acquisitions; the ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies and retain relationships with customers of acquired companies including, without limitation, Spartech Corporation and/or Accella Performance Materials; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the financial condition of our customers, including the ability of customers (especially those that may be highly leveraged and those with inadequate liquidity) to maintain their credit availability; the speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing market; our ability to achieve new business gains; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic in jurisdictions where we conduct business; changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; an inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends; the amount and timing of repurchases of our common shares, if any; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

And because each panel is individually fabricated, laid up or molded, it can be difficult to ensure uniform quality. THE RESULT Faster throughput, a streamlined supply chain, and a consistently high level of quality. Working together, we can help optimize your marine manufacturing system to raise throughput, increase efficiency and achieve repeatable quality.

A few grams of a TPE material can often make a major difference in the perceived quality of an item. Grips made with TPEs not only deliver these qualities, but they also expand the design flexibility you need to add these marketable, value-added features to your products. Adding a soft-touch grip to a household product is a practical and cost-effective way for designers to create the sensory experience and perception of higher quality that consumers crave.

It is a precise and clean process that produces high- quality seams and adhesive-free assembly. Avient uses a “systems approach” to develop the laser welding solution most adapted to your project, taking into consideration the following aspects: • Transmitting and absorbing parts • Polymer type and grade • Dispersion of the additive in the final part • Sufficient and consistent loading of the additive • Part design: attention to flow separation at the welding interface • Color and opacitiy • Quality control – e.g. establish suitable control parameters (UV Visible Spectra) • Laser wavelength and processing parameter Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives formulated for laser welding are designed for use in healthcare applications.
