Porcelain packaging success story

Sending porcelain all over the world - but safely

BHS Tabletop is the world's leading supplier of porcelain for out-of-home catering, selling around 40 million items of tableware every year. The company exports to around 100 countries - increasingly also just-in-time, no matter where in the world. Sending fragile goods on their journey is always a challenge. We now have a very special technique for this.

Product protection and flexibility

  • #1

    Task definition
    • Reduction in manual labour and material costs
    • Creation of flexible packaging variants
    • Increasing speed and throughput
    • Ensuring a high level of product protection
  • #2

    Analysis

    The Klingele packaging experts analysed the existing packaging and explored alternatives. The Klingele machine consultants took stock of the existing machines and premises.

  • #3

    Solution development

    Combined solution

    Consisting of the proven wrapping technology of our partner AMS and packaging made of Wellpappe.

    • The product is wrapped with transparent, permanently elastic film on a simple Wellpappe tray; this stabilises it and prevents it from slipping.
    • "Over-wrapping" of an outer carton
    • Securing with a sealing tape
  • #4

    Realisation

    Wrapping technique on a simple Wellpappe tray made of recyclable material and no bubble wrap as filling material.

  • #5

    Success
    • More efficient packaging process
    • Higher throughput
    • Product protection thanks to wrapping technology without filling material
    • Reduced complaint rate and satisfied customers
    • Packaging made with recyclable corrugated cardboard components
The packaging adapts perfectly to the respective packaged goods. This means we can easily prepare different products as well as large and small batches for dispatch in any order.
