A global provider of document management technology providing services to streamline operations and provide digital printing solutions.
The project
We were given an opportunity to put forward a proposal for a client wanting to send a new high value product carrier, wrap box with protective bottom and sides which would be sent out to end users via the postal system.
We asked the client if we could put together a product 360 and involve our packaging technologist and design team to spend a few hours talking through the issues we could foresee and identify any further client needs and wants.
We identified that security and safe arrival of the product was the client’s highest priority but that print quality and a prestigious look to the inside of the package was also high on the agenda.
Our packaging technologist and design team came up with innovative bespoke packaging solutions.
The issue
The client discussed previous issues with other products, the sides and bottom of the box where identified as a weakness and potential area of risk as high value products could be removed from the packaging without fully opening the box.
The result and benefits
Our design team came up with a material that was both strong, robust and capable of being printed litho directly onto the substrate. We produced live CAD samples and sent them for testing at the client’s distribution centre, at which they performed exceptionally well and the material was approved.
Our technologist designed a wrap affect using our multiple peel and seal unit which allowed for safe sealing of the flap and wrapping around the sides to give full protection.
With additional immediate investment in new machinery approved by the board within 24 hours we were able to bring through our research program, identify and purchase the new machinery required to add the security seals, and have it on site within the lead-time to allow full machine test prior to roll out.
The product met the clients brief and gave them the quality and finish they desired without compromise on strength or cost. The new design which is easily erected has since been rolled out to various products due to its success.
