The Verpack Group meets brands' expectations for single-material boxes and cases. This is illustrated by a new generation of attractive, practical, modular and customizable cardboard wedges, soon to be presented at Luxe Pack.
The debate has been going on for some years now, spurred on by regulatory measures and other anti-plastic lobbies. At the time, the Verpack group was renowned for its recycled plastic thermoformed trays. It then developed its first trays in various types of cardboard, of varying thickness and strength, dedicated to perfumes, skincare, premium accessories, and then wines and spirits.
Aided by its LCA tool, EcoLab, the group quickly helped brands to find alternative solutions for single-material boxes and cases. Added to this was the disappearance of magnets and other accessory parts.
Wedges 4.0
The Verpack group is taking advantage of the Luxe Pack trade show, to be held in Monaco from September 27 to 29, to present its new wedge model. The concept is based on the principle of modules that can be adjusted to the shape of products, and which fit inside the box or case to guarantee strength and support. A decorative cap then snaps on to act as a wedge cover. This customizable concept (size, volume, choice of cardboard, decoration, etc.) offers a number of advantages, including reduced design costs, lighter weight (up to 50 % of box weight with corrugated cardboard wedging), automation of certain tasks, and easier handling for operator comfort. It meets the major requirements of e-commerce and the use of boxes as point-of-sale displays.
