Success Story
Talea

Problem

• Due to the variety of products, many different packaging sizes are in use.
• This requires a lot of storage space and enormous organizational effort.
• Different packaging variants had to be purchased in small quantities, which was very cost-intensive.
• Currently, around 12,000 packages leave the plant every week. Due to the variety of products, this involves an enormous organizational effort in terms of the different packaging sizes.

Task

• Development of packaging that fits the company's quality standards and sustainability philosophy.
• Reducing costs

The Klingele packaging experts analyzed the weaknesses of the existing packaging range and explored alternatives.

• Contacting a machine supplier who can handle different filling heights. A laser measures the fill height and automatically reduces the volume of the packaging.
• This makes it possible to reduce the variety of packaging to a minimum without oversizing the packaging or putting product protection at risk.

Reduction of packaging volume thanks to a new machine from the French manufacturer B+ Equipment.

• Packaging volume is reduced by 25 to 35 percent
• Talea can purchase larger quantities of each of the two packaging options, which is significantly more cost-efficient

• Returns are extremely low at 0.03 percent
• High-quality packaging that matches the company's quality standards and sustainability philosophy
• High customer satisfaction, lower waste
• Automation of the logistics process through packaging optimisation
