'SMART packaging for a healthy planet'

Innovative packaging solutions reduce environmental impact

In this time of widespread staff shortages, many logistics companies are looking for ways to improve their processes and use their resources more efficiently. In addition, the industry is under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable solutions. As the global market leader in packaging automation, Packsize makes packaging processes more efficient while minimizing the environmental footprint.

Founded in 2002, Packsize stands out for its innovative approach to packaging solutions. "As a result, we have been at the forefront of packaging automation for more than 20 years," says Ton de Graaf. "A number of our machine systems are the first of their kind. For example, we introduced the concept of On Demand Packaging and have changed the way companies approach their packaging needs in different industries." 

Packsize's technology integrates seamlessly with existing manufacturing and fulfillment processes. "Our advanced hardware and software solutions enable companies to perfectly tailor corrugated shipping packaging to each product," continued De Graaf. "Indeed, right sized shipping packaging is crucial in today's logistics market, where consumer expectations for fast yet durable shipping are higher than ever."

Sustainability Mission

Speaking of sustainability, Packsize is leading the way in that area as well. "Our automated packaging solutions use recyclable corrugated cardboard made from responsibly managed renewable resources," the Sales Director clarifies. "In addition, we want to help companies be more environmentally friendly through customized packaging. Creating perfectly fitting boxes reduces the amount of corrugated cardboard required, eliminates or reduces the use of filler material, makes the packaging process more efficient AND minimizes the carbon footprint." All entirely in line with our mission: 'SMART packaging for a healthy planet'. 

Reduce labor costs

Packsize's automated packaging solutions not only streamline the packaging process, but also reduce labor costs and improve throughput. "This is especially beneficial for large-scale logistics operations and companies that are growing rapidly," De Graaf knows. "Across Europe, the demand for such sustainable and efficient solutions is growing. Companies are under increasing pressure to adopt greener solutions and optimize their supply chains. In addition, consumers are becoming more critical; we all know examples where products are delivered in oversized shipping packages with far too much padding. Today's consumers no longer accept such material waste. The days of one-size-fits-all solutions are therefore over; today it's all about precision and efficiency."

European legislation

With the introduction of the new European regulation PPWR, De Graaf says the packaging landscape will change dramatically. "This legislation is designed to minimize packaging waste and promote sustainability. With this, reducing shipping volume will become increasingly important. Companies thinking about optimizing their packaging process would do well to anticipate these new regulations now. Packsize is perfectly prepared for this, as we provide solutions that optimize shipping packaging in every conceivable dimension - length x width x height. In this regard, the figures speak for themselves: thanks to our sustainable, environmentally friendly shipping packaging, Packsize is able to reduce shipping volume by as much as 40 percent on average, resulting in approximately 20 percent less consumption of corrugated cardboard."
