Creative Window Display Conveyor for Father’s Day Once again, The Hudson’s Bay and Pacline Overhead Conveyors have partnered to produce a creative window display conveyor at the Queen St. Flagship store for Father’s Day. A creative window display conveyor, if done right, can stop traffic and grab the attention of your target audience. And if you really want to catch the attention of all the people who pass by your store, you’re going to have to do something out of the norm. For The Hudson’s Bay, this meant using four large street-facing windows to create a unique and animated display. Father’s Day gift ideas were conveyed throughout the windows, catching the attention of pedestrians and commuters passing by. “Gifts for Dad @Hudson’s Bay Sharing our latest windows at our Queen St. Flagship store. Great partnership with Pacline Overhead Conveyers here in Ontario!” Ana Fernandes (Creative Nat.

Custom Overhead Conveyor System for Storage and Retrieval Spector & Co. began in 1964 selling custom branded writing instruments. Today, the company is a leading supplier of promotional products in North America with a focus on travel accessories and writing materials. Their 65,000 square foot facility in St. Laurent, Quebec offers thousands of different products with 30 decorating options from digital printing to laser engraving. PACLINE was contacted by Spector & Co. to help manage and improve their storage and retrieval process of bulky items such as backpacks and duffel bags. Their current system utilized manual push carts on the floor to store and transport products through the labeling and shipping process. This cart system was causing the product flow and inventory management to be disorganized and inefficient. After reviewing some of the Retail Conveyor Applications on the PACLINE website, Spector & Co. recognized the opportunity they had if they could utilize the empty overhead space in their plant. To get a better understanding of how the custom overhead conveyor would work for their products, Spector staff visited the PACLINE office for a live demonstration of the system. Challenges Spector & Co. needed to improve their storage and retrieval system for handling bulky items such as backpacks and duffel bags. Hundreds of backpacks and duffel bags needed to be quickly accessible for custom orders, where the items would be decorated and packaged for shipping. The use of manual push carts was taking up a great amount of valuable floor space in the facility and caused the process to be very disorganized. Solutions When Spector & Co. came to PACLINE...
Storefront Display Conveyor for Pack-able Jackets! 32 Degrees is an activewear clothing company that focuses on providing functionality and style for the everyday wardrobe. 32 Degrees’ goal is to revolutionize the everyday basics by utilizing the latest warming and cooling technologies to deliver all day comfort throughout all seasons at a valued price. PACLINE Overhead Conveyors was contacted by 32 Degrees to help with a creative storefront marketing display in Manhattan, New York in the Macy’s department store near Times Square. The customer saw our Garment Handling Systems used in retail displays and realized that we could offer the exact solution they had envisioned. The month-long window display would feature their 32 Degrees “Heat” jacket that is pack-able into a small, convenient bag. Utilizing the PAC-LINE™ Overhead Conveyor allowed 32 Degrees to demonstrate the pack-able capability of their jacket with an interesting and eye-catching effect. The Challenges PACLINE was faced with some very unique challenges when engineering and installing this conveyor: Storefront room dimensions were only 3’ x 18’ Storefront display conveyor could not be bolted to ground or be hung from ceiling The VFD control system could not be displayed and could not take up a lot of room Installation had to be completed overnight and no parking was available for truck delivery The Solution The limited storefront space was PACLINE’s greatest obstacle throughout the design and install process. In order to fit the conveyor loop into the 3’ wide room, 9” radius curves had to be used, making the total storefront display conveyor only 18” wide! Our installers Mike and Spencer had...
