The packaging situation in 2019 was characterized by challenges: Too small, confusing and unstructured, with paper as filling material and centralized production, which requires high stock levels. At the beginning of 2019, the daily parcel volume was 450 boxes. The work processes were characterized by many routes and work steps per box.
Every order was double-checked using the dual control principle, which further slowed down the process. The cramped space conditions exacerbated the problem.
A new, more efficient and more structured packaging concept was developed, as space was at a premium. Two double workstations with optimized processes were planned. The four-eyes principle was to be retained in order to ensure quality.
The ergonomics have been improved to enhance working conditions, increase parcel volumes and optimize processing. A lifting unit with scales makes it easier to lift and weigh the parcels and the paper solution is available at the table. The aim was to speed up the packaging process and improve productivity and working conditions.
Packaging - As much as necessary,
as little as possible
BVS uses the NaturePak label for products that enable ecologically sound use, reduce CO2 emissions and generate less waste, regardless of the packaging material used.
Our strategy
Packaging made from recycled paper
Paper pays off for people and the environment in the long term. It is even better to use paper with a high recycled content. Recycled paper optimizes water and energy consumption and thus protects the environment and climate by reducing waste. Recycled paper offers a wide range of added value for all users.
Plastic packaging with recycled content
Polyethylene films are increasingly being produced with a proportion of recycled material, which - as far as technically possible - is being continuously increased. They are the most modern and safest quality packaging for all branches of industry. Due to their low density and excellent physical and mechanical properties, PE films have major advantages over paper, cardboard, metal and glass.
