A new packaging standard is on the way

Innventia is launching a feasability study aiming towards uniform function standards to optimise corrugated board packaging.
Packaging that does not withstand transportation and storage in varying climate conditions results in significant and unnecessary levels of rejects and a weaker competitive position for the export industry. Despite this, the quantity of packaging materials could be reduced without compromising on product safety, thanks to improved knowledge about distribution systems, better raw materials and knowledge application.

A materials saving of 20 percent would lead to a corresponding reduction in both environmental impact and costs on manufacture and transportation. One key factor in order to achieve this is overall standards and guidelines for optimising corrugated board packaging, says Innventia and start a feasability study with financial support from ÅF:s Foundation for Research and Development.

The first step involves an evaluation of how certain major export companies and packaging users experience and deal with problems arising in connection with transport packaging. The next step will involve reviewing information from existing European and global standards and test methods.
