Packaging has one essential job: to protect the product throughout the entire logistics chain. At the same time, it needs to be designed for easy and safe handling – from packing and transport to final delivery.
Damaged packaging and products are not only frustrating for the recipient. They can also result in complaints, returns and additional costs.
Damaged Deliveries Remain a Challenge
The relevance of this topic is highlighted by recent figures: 80% of German consumers surveyed in 2024 stated that they had received at least one delivery with damaged packaging. 73% reported having received goods that were damaged.
These figures demonstrate that well-designed packaging is an important part of a reliable supply chain.
Think Packaging and Handling Together
It is not only the packaging material itself that matters. Handling throughout transport and logistics can also have a significant impact.
Poor handling options or insufficient packaging stability can increase the risk of damage. Especially for large, heavy or sensitive packages, suitable components are essential to enable safe and comfortable handling.
