Flom. The New Hybrid Dessert – Episode 12

Sorry for the silence last week - we had Snowpocalypse 2012 over here!  

Anyway, a few weeks ago, I wrote about the industry award competitions that we enter…well sometimes; we attend the banquets when they announce the winners.  We went to one at a very famous location once and I don’t know what happened with the catering at this place (the previous year was delicious), but we had a heck of a time with the meal.  

By the time dessert came, we didn’t know whether to eat it or watch it wiggle its way off the plate.  Our very creative Sales Manager, who is also a member of the Marketing Team, dubbed it Flom. It’s the new hybrid dessert, merging some sort of food product and liquid rubber or perhaps the goo they use when you get an ultrasound.  I can’t tell you what it tasted like because I didn’t partake.

Anyway, another unique hybrid in the packaging world is our Bahmueller Gluer with Turbox attachment.  It is able to combine multiple substrates inline, which saves money and fiber while increasing the strength of your packaging.  In addition, it produces retail-ready packaging, which eliminates L&I claims and damaged product since knives are not necessary to open.  This technology is safer and more sustainable.  Maybe that’s what the Flom was going for….

Check out our video of the Turbox to see it in action.
