The smooth inside of the Stackabox allows for easy cleaning and the durable polypropylene guarantees an almost endless lifecycle, allowing for hundreds of voyages between the producers and their customers. Stackabox was specially designed to ensure the product retains its value during use. To reduce costs throughout the supply chain, the dispensing container was designed prioritizing recyclability, reusability, and reparability by making all the parts replaceable.
The Result
By replacing the previous type of packaging with Stackabox, Esterform was able to improve the entire production line efficiency. Thanks to the perfect integration in the existing production lines, the large container can keep up with the new state-of-the-art robotic systems.
Esterform’s clients are all in the food and beverage business and are subject to a number of regulations. With Stackabox they can offer clients a higher hygienic proposition. Thanks to the absence of a wooden pallet, the risk for wood splinters is eliminated. Moreover, the absence of center skid at the base lowered damage from fork lifting. Esterform could reduce handling costs, thanks to the easy erecting and collapsing. Another bonus was that they need fewer people for handling.
At the filler’s side, the bottom dispensing decreased damage to the bottleneck of the preforms, by smoothly sliding the preforms in the hopper of the filling line. In terms of transport, the Stackabox reduced CO² emissions significantly by stacking two units high, a standard trailer can hold 52 full Stackaboxes, and the return transport can hold 182 folded Stackaboxes, stacked seven high. This is 355 times more efficient than the previous type of packaging.
