Lightweight Corrugated Packaging for Export and Industrial Transit
This project replaces traditional wooden crates with high-strength corrugated packaging designed for industrial and export transit. The new structure ensures excellent stacking resistance, easy handling, and optimized protection throughout the supply chain. It allows faster assembly, safer operations, and lower transport costs while enhancing environmental performance.
The packaging introduces a poka-yoke structural design, preventing assembly errors and reducing setup time by more than 40%. Its engineered corrugated structure delivers equal or superior strength compared to wood, with a 30% reduction in weight. The ergonomic assembly process minimizes operator fatigue, improves efficiency, and ensures consistent performance in different shipping conditions.
Made entirely from 100% recyclable corrugated fiberboard, the solution replaces non-renewable wooden crates, lowering CO₂ emissions and eliminating the need for fumigation or phytosanitary treatment. Its reduced mass allows better freight utilization and lower fuel consumption, contributing to the company’s ESG and circular economy goals. Disposal and recycling are simplified at the destination, promoting sustainable end-of-life management.
The new packaging has already demonstrated measurable benefits in international shipments — fewer product damages, improved loading efficiency, and cost savings in freight and handling. It also strengthens the brand’s export competitiveness by combining protection, productivity, and sustainability, offering a superior customer experience while aligning with global environmental standards.
This solution redefines transit packaging by merging structural performance with sustainability. It provides lighter, safer, and greener logistics — perfectly aligned with the objectives of the Transit category in the WorldStar Packaging Awards.
