KIT-BIAS PISTON 1235829 - Caterpillar

The move to individual shrink-wrap, as shown in the picture to the right, while eliminating the chipboard carton will reduce material as well as improve the contamination control for the filter.
The removal of the chipboard carton will prevent the filters from being shipped individually, so the Package Quantities will not be "breakable." This should not affect business processes, as it will apply to only a small percentage of filter part numbers. These parts will typically be the fastest moving.
Caterpillar air filters will continue to be packaged as they are today. Most are packaged individually in corrugated boxes. The only difference will be that new air filters will be packaged in what we call "Cat® black-banded" boxes versus "Point of Purchase" boxes. All this means is that new air filters will not have their picture on the outside of the box.
The picture to the left illustrates the Cat Black Banded corrugated on the left and Point of Purchase corrugated on the right.
