Reducing costs for car manufacturers

Our unique packaging for car bumpers has helped one well-known German car manufacturer reduce packaging time by 30 per cent.

Our specialist automotive division undertook a thorough analysis of the manufacturer’s existing bumper packaging and the supply cycle through which the product travels, before designing and producing a new packaging solution.

The resulting U-shape packaging is now much easier to handle than the previous solution and means the entire packaging process can now be undertaken by just one employee, instead of two.

As well as a significant reduction in labour costs, the new design has reduced the risk of damage to the bumpers as they are transported through the supply chain.

The outer walls of the pack are now level and provide greater protection to the product, while the addition of an integrated corrugated base ensures the outside component latch is protected during transportation. The inventive folding technology also guarantees inherent stability.

 Due to the ingenuity of the design, the customer still achieved significant savings despite a higher quality material being used to produce the transport packaging.
