Distribution Network
SCHC’s distribution network is designed to meet the needs of food and beverage companies. The Warehouse Management System (WMS) offers several benefits. It provides visibility into warehouse processes, tracks product movements, and helps identify problems. The WMS also allows for faster and more accurate decision-making based on centralized information. It optimizes space usage and manages inventory according to temperature zones, demand patterns, and product profiles.
Guaranteeing Food Safety and Quality
Guaranteeing food safety and quality is crucial in the food and beverage industry, involving HACCP certification, FDA-approved facilities, and temperature-controlled storage.
HACCP Certification
HACCP certification is an internationally recognized food safety program. It aims to prevent food from becoming unsafe during production processes. This certification showcases high standards for food safety and helps businesses respond quickly to safety issues. It also provides a competitive edge, as some customers require their vendors to have food safety systems in place.
FDA Approved Facilities
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays an important role in making sure of food safety. The FDA has established regulations requiring food facilities to register with them. These facilities must submit additional registration information, including an assurance that the FDA will be permitted to inspect the facility. The FDA also has the authority to suspend the registration of a food facility in certain circumstances.
Temperature-Controlled Storage
Temperature-controlled storage is essential for maintaining food quality and safety. Controlled room temperature (CRT) storage is at the core of perishable supply chains. It allows businesses to better manage their supply chains and increase the life of products. Different products require different storage conditions. For instance, many fruits and vegetables need cool and dry conditions to prevent mold and product degradation. Commercial-scale farming and food storage require commercial-scale climate control equipment to manage humidity and temperature.
Customized Packaging Solutions for F&B Industry
SCHC offers a range of customized packaging solutions for the food and beverage industry. These solutions are designed to meet the needs of clients while guaranteeing product protection and brand representation.
Wax Corrugated Boxes
SCHC makes custom waxed cardboard boxes that are water-resistant. Using wax impregnation, curtain coating, and cascading methods, SCHC ensures your products are protected, leak-resistant, and stackable. Wax corrugated seafood boxes work well in wet environments where fish are processed and packaged. SCHC also offers wax corrugated poultry boxes that can handle the tough conditions of packaging and shipping.
Custom Folding Cartons
SCHC’s folding carton products offer sustainable packaging solutions. These cartons are designed to deliver performance, protection, and presentation. They can be customized to fit products perfectly to improve protection and reduce the need for additional packing materials. Folding cartons are lightweight and stackable, which helps reduce shipping costs.
Moisture-Resistant Packaging
SCHC uses kraft paper strengthened with wax to provide effective moisture-resistant and nonabrasive properties. This packaging protects products from water, moisture, grease, and oil. Waxed papers make sure of product integrity during manufacture, storage, and shipment. The choice between wet wax and dry wax depends on the application and concerns about surface residue. SCHC also offers wax lamination, which bonds two substrates and adds a moisture-resistant barrier using wax instead of glue.
