Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How is the 70% weight reduction achieved?
The weight reduction of our packaging boards is based on the innovative honeycomb structure inside the board. This structure makes optimum use of the available space and drastically reduces the amount of material while retaining the mechanical properties. In addition, we use special lightweight materials that offer high stability even with low weight.
Are the plates suitable for food contact?
Yes, we offer special versions of our ultra-light packaging sheets that are certified for direct food contact. These comply with all relevant EU regulations and are free from harmful substances. Please specify in your inquiry if you require materials for food contact.
What individual adaptations are possible?
We offer numerous customization options for our ultra-light packaging sheets: individual formats, different material thicknesses, waterproof versions, printing, antimicrobial coatings, special surface treatments as well as complex die-cut shapes and fold lines. Our technical team will be happy to advise you on the options for your specific application.
To what extent does lighter packaging actually reduce transportation costs?
The cost savings vary depending on the type and distance of transportation, but are typically between 15% and 30%. The savings can be even higher for air freight in particular. You also benefit from easier handling, lower fuel consumption and lower CO₂ emissions. On request, we offer an individual profitability calculation for your specific logistics chain.
Are minimum order quantities required?
We offer flexible order quantities for standard formats and thicknesses, even for smaller test orders. Depending on the complexity, a minimum order quantity may be required for customized special designs. Contact us – we will also find the right solution for small series and prototypes.
