5 steps to an optimized solution
Every product and supply chain presents unique challenges that must be addressed. It's essential for a packaging solution to be designed with the entire supply chain in mind, effectively tackling these challenges. At Nefab, we follow a five-step process to optimize your product's journey through the supply chain.
Analyze product's weak spot
Firstly, we identify your product's vulnerabilities—such as fragility, electrostatic sensitivity, and corrosion risk. This is crucial to determine its protective requirements and guide the design process.
Select the optimal material
Fiber based
Plastic based
Wood and Plywood based
Metal based
Choosing the right packaging material is crucial, considering factors such as durability, cost, sustainability, and suitability for product and transportation conditions. During this stage, we aid you in engineering mono- or multi-material solutions for any situation.
Test the packaging for improvements
In the final crucial step, we test your packaging to validate its ability to meet transportation and storage challenges for your products. This testing can be conducted in one of our six fully ISTA certified test labs located across the Americas, Asia, and Europe.
Assess transportation conditions
By rail
When it comes to transportation by train, we consider a packaging solution that is stable enough to withstand the demands of long-distance rail travel.
By air
In air transportation, we prioritize lightweight yet robust packaging to meet strict airline regulations and minimize air freight costs.
By sea
When it comes to transportation by sea, we consider a water-resistant and durable packaging solution to withstand the challenging conditions of sea transport.
By road
For road transportation, we factor in impact-resistant packaging to protect products from the bumps and vibrations during transit.
Implement sustainable design principles
Guided by strong sustainable design guidelines for your packaging, we adhere to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3Rs) principles, and our LCA tool, GreenCalc. This ensures that our designs not only meet the highest performance standards but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
