Optimsed one piece box appointed best in class on Panstar's production line
The challenge
Panstar was using standard American cases (0201s) for their main business - frozen bread and bakery products
They were looking for a packaging partner to provide a manual erecting solution for manual packing which would offer the right balance between productivity and cost
The pack was required to give high product visibility to increase impulse purchases and bring added value
Our approach
Smurfit Kappa worked closely with the Panstar Marketing team to develop and test several solutions,
By using our unique Innotools, Pack Expert and Paper to Box, we were able to determine the box specification that assured maximum cost efficiency with no risk for the supply chain
The optimum solution was a one piece box with an integrated PET sheet. It was appointed best in class for productivity at the packing line.
The result
The new Smurfit Kappa solution moves Cobopa into the premium product range
The PET window allows shoppers to identify the product very quickly and easily.
The new solution reduces packing time at the production line by 40% and reduces logistics and warehousing costs by 50%
