Reusable packaging can help reduce material consumption and make packaging processes more efficient. Particularly in shipping and logistics centers, cartons are often opened, refilled and closed again multiple times.
When adhesive tape is used for every shipment, this creates additional material and labor costs. At the same time, removing the tape with a knife or cutter can create an additional risk of injury.
Tape Makes Reuse More Difficult
Repeated taping can damage cartons. Torn surfaces, adhesive residues and damaged cardboard can make further use more difficult.
For efficient reusable packaging processes, packaging should therefore not only be suitable for shipping, but also allow for easy opening, secure closing and repeated reuse.
Packaging Designed for Repeated Use
This is where reusable closure solutions come in. They allow cartons to be opened and closed again multiple times without having to use new adhesive tape for every shipment.
E-K-S develops closure elements for cardboard and corrugated board packaging that are designed specifically for these requirements.
Less Effort. More Reuse.
A well-designed closure system can offer several advantages:
- Easy opening and reclosing
- Reduced use of adhesive tape
- Reduced labor
- Support for the repeated use of cartons
This makes the closure an important part of a packaging concept designed for efficient and repeated use.
Packaging should not only be designed for shipping, but also for its next use.
