We redesigned the packaging of a component feeder for a pick-and-place machine and made it entirely out of cardboard. Thanks to the new single-material packaging made of block-glued cardboard, we were able to realize a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.
Our customer manufactures automatic placement machines. The current packaging of the feeders, which contains IC components, is packed in a cardboard-foam combination. We were now asked to develop a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective packaging solution for our customer. The aim was to use only one packaging material while providing the same level of protection for the goods.
Our experienced team of packaging specialists and designers carefully analyzed the packaging requirements based on the existing cardboard foam packaging and then created a prototype with the help of CAD. This allowed us to test directly at our customer's premises whether the packaging met their wishes and requirements. The prototype was tested intensively, including whether the handling objectives were met throughout the packaging process. New adjustments were discussed and another prototype was created in a new test loop. After this multi-stage procedure and a final successful test shipment, we were finally able to go into series production.
By creating new, high-quality and cost-effective cardboard packaging, we have now been able to convert more of our customer's products to single-material packaging.
