Univenture Teams Develop Fittingly Inventive PR Tool for Bioplastics Innovator
Marysville, Ohio - May 6, 2013 - Presented with the challenging task of composing a clever representation for a client with as much knowledge of materials as anyone, the Univenture team created a product that exceeded all expectations.
The recent assignment to create a press kit for Biobent LLC, a cutting-edge producer of environmentally-friendly plastic resins, made for the ideal opportunity to showcase the sustainable versatility of each brand. According to Biobent President Keith Masavage, the end result fully incorporated both Univenture and Biobent’s diverse capabilities inside and out. “Without the design and production team at Univenture and the company’s standards for quality and innovative approaches to manufacturing, Biobent would not have been able to produce this kind of product,” Masavage said.
The binder itself is composed of the exact biocontent-enhanced polypropylene that has become Biobent’s signature product. Biobent can compose the plastic with up to 40% biologically-derived content without compromising the plastic’s overall performance. The award-winning formula involves bonding safe, widely-available soy with the base resin at the molecular level.
At larger scales of manufacturing, Biobent can provide this soy resin in order to manufacture products such as Unikeep’s case binders at a cost competitive with traditional plastics, making it an ideal choice for clients looking for a smart way to stay “green.” This is why although bioplastics represent only 1% of the current plastics market; they are expected to assume 40% of the market within the next five years. The end product works just as well for features such as Unikeep’s high-quality digital printing.
Univenture’s proprietary EnvyPak™ technology allows for virtually limitless customization; this proved to be especially crucial in constructing pouches to secure and display granular samples. Another custom page features pockets so that clients can examine the plastics in their molded forms. The pouches and pages alike accommodate straightforward examination while maintaining a professional, stylized look.
Univenture’s creative and efficient design solutions thoroughly impressed Biobent’s executives – so much so that Masavage has devised additional applications for the finished product. “Both the sleeves and pouches work great and have been such a hit with the press that we are now using them for sales sample kits as well.”
“Everyone involved in the project, including the recipients of the finished product, expressed how unique and attention-grabbing the product looked,” said Mayville.

Columbus, OH — Bioproducts in soybean meal are capable of replacing up to 40 percent of the petroleum content in plastics, according to researchers. Biopolymer-composites derived from soy are being used in resins, and are currently in a variety of everyday items, such as binders, paint, ink toner and jets, plastic foams, and the absorbent part of diapers.

We exhibited at the 2011 Winter Craft & Hobby tradeshow earlier this month in Los Angeles. Honestly, we did not expect much from this event but we thought we would take a chance. We have been selling our products for years to people that used them for scrapbook projects or crafting in general but we have clearly underestimated the potential of our products being accepted by this group of people. This event really opened our eyes and we want to create a much better resource for current and future customers to find our products.
If you are currently using any of our products for scrapbook projects or crafts, let us know how you like them. What can we do better to help you? What kind of products do you want us to offer? Different sizes? Different colors? If you have a webpage that shows how you are using our products, we would love to see it. Feel free to include a link to your site in the comments. Let us know. You can leave your comments below or you can send us an email to websales@univenture.com.
The products that generated the most interest at the show were generally these:
We will be developing some pages designed to make it easier for scrapbook users to find the products they use. We will announce it here on the blog as well as our facebook and twitter accounts.

TurnKey Solutions Corporation (TKS) has been doing business with Univenture for more than 10 years. When they required a printed bind-in sleeve for a national promotion they looked no further than the trusted sales representatives at Univenture, who played an instrumental role in the selection and production of their sleeve.
“Long term relationships are important to TurnKey Solutions,” said Allen Mayville, National Account Manager. “Listening to what the customer is saying in regards to their project needs has helped us solidify our relationships with customers.”
The Univenture Bind-in Sleeve chosen by TKS, made of paper and polypropylene, presented a high-end look while yielding an economical approach to manufacturing. The sleeve was to be bound into aviation trade/hobby magazines to promote Mach 2 to Oshkosh and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA).
A DVD went inside each sleeve and was suitable for assembly through the Univenture Operations department. “The design of the sleeve made insertion of the DVD quick and easy, allowing for more efficient and economical production,” said Mayville.
With a target audience of aircraft enthusiasts, the custom artwork needed to be sharp and exciting. Univenture offers custom printing on the front and back of their bind-in sleeves, among other products, and TKS took advantage of this unique service. Read More »
