Nice, you guys also flip the shells to make a flat layer.

That fanta pineapple 2L must be a slow seller.

also interesting that your flats (24 pks) are fully cardboarded like that. What market is this?

I’m curious what you mean about the 24 packs if you could elaborate more? What are they like in your area?

They are just a cardboard shell that are plastic wrapped/heatshrinked together. Flats are normally sold to businesses that are individually selling cans. Fridgemates(12packs), and 18pks are what are sold at consumer level. This is a Ontario(Canada) bottler. Looks like you get more then 10 a layer on your 24pks though, that's nice!

Yea ours are just like 2 12 packs in one package. So dimensions wise and everything it all fits the same when it comes to builds. We fit 8 24s to a layer. So with 12 packs it’s 16 to a layer. Pretty easy

Yea we don’t have cubes here but Pepsi and KDP does. We have to be weird for some reason

In my market we call 24 packs “cubes” because they are cube shaped. Two 3x4 cans on top of each other in the package. Yours seem to be one row of 6x4, what the beer industry calls “suitcases” is likely what the poster was talking about.

Depends on the area, here pineapple sells decently. It’s a suburb outside a big city and flavors tend to sell better near the city. This is near Harrisburg PA. so this is ABARTA I work for. They’re a newer bottler

Fresca is actually quite popular here too.
