Cube® Process

The Cubitainer® is created by a proprietary process unique to Hedwin, best described as continuous, molten sheet extrusion coupled with vacuum/thermo-forming. The result is a robust, yet collapsible, plastic container. The Cube® is tough enough to pass UN-testing for regulated materials, or can be shipped to the filler collapsed and nested. This exclusive innovation provides tremendous savings on space, cost, and energy use.

KD Cubitainer and Recyclable Corrugated Overpack Carton from Hedwin

The Cubitainer® is collapsible and nestable to save on shipping and storage costs.

Cubitainer® is also available fully assembled and ready to fill in a UN-approved box, eliminating the need to erect the Cube® box. Cubitainer’s® revolutionary design doesn’t require a pouring vent — as it empties, the Cube® collapses and its contents evacuate in an uninterrupted stream (no “glugging”). There’s no need for a pouring vent which means no exposure to outside air – an important feature in oxygen-sensitive applications. Unlike a bag, which tends to trap liquid contents in the folds and corners, the Cube® holds its shape sufficiently to allow nearly all of its contents to evacuate — eliminating wasteful product loss.
