New carton design, color coding make Knauf pipe
insulation the quality and convenience leader, in
the warehouse and on the job

(SHELBYVILLE, Ind., July 12, 2005) Knauf Insulation
today announced changes to the packaging of its 1000° Pipe
Insulation to make the product a more convenient option in the
warehouse and on the jobsite.
New pipe cartons offer improved handle strength, with stronger
(1” sesame tape) taping around hand holes for easier carrying,
hoisting onto scaffolding and loading and unloading without
tearing.
Cartons also feature revamped graphics and a color coding
system by wall thickness, meaning quick product identification for
easy warehouse inventory, truck loading and jobsite sorting.
The color labels are as follows:
|

Knauf’s pipe insulation is already known as the industry’s
quality leader. Its mandrel-wound manufacturing process leads

temperature range allows installation on a system during operation,
making it the most efficient option for those applications.
Building on this reputation for quality and innovation, these
carton design improvements will make Knauf 1000° Pipe Insulation an
even better choice for distributors and contractors.
