DS Smith, an International Paper company, and global provider of sustainable and fibre-based packaging solutions, have partnered with Dynamic Logistic Systems (DLS), the manufacturers of automated systems for internal logistics andinfrastructure, to create cardboard buffers for the protection of critical industrial machine parts.
The new DS Smith packaging innovation consists of a robust side panel that is comprised of a double wall of corrugated cardboard. The DS Smith design team designed sturdy side caps and end-based protective buffers to ensure that a protective barrier is in place on each side of their packaging shape and structure.
The corrugated cardboard buffers are specifically intended to provide optimal protection for Dynamic Logistic System’s (DLS) industrial products against shocks and vibrations during transportation to customers in local and international destinations. In addition, the new DS Smith packaging solution is estimated to take up around 60% less space during storage and transportation, compared to previous DLS packaging solutions used by the company.
Supply chain process
The DS Smith packaging design has also increased warehouse storage capacity for semi- finished machine-part products and new orders during peak periods. The packaging can now be stacked with optimal efficiency, and the 100% recyclable fibre-based materials make for an effective and sustainable space-saving alternative to the company’s previous use of buffers comprised of Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS).
William Lieftink, Managing Director, Dynamic Logistic Systems (DLS):
“The space saving benefits are extremely impressive. We now need far less storage for our packaging materials, and this reduces our need to move pallets and products around. This also lowers the risk of damage to products during the value chain, and the fibre-based materials are aligned with our sustainability objectives. We are keen to optimize our supply chain processes wherever possible and provide a best-in-class service to customers,”
Remko Berkhout, Marketing and Communications Manager, Benelux, DS Smith:
“We used our expertise in sustainable and fibre-based packaging design to support Dynamic Logistic Systems (DLS) in moving towards a more circular future. Our packaging design is helping to optimize their supply chain to benefit the company’s customers in a variety of sectors. Vital machine parts such as dispensers for conveyor systems can now be stored and transported with increased efficiency and we are providing an alternative to previous plastic-based options. We are committed to helping our customers meet their sustainability objectives with bespoke packaging solutions”.
Dynamic Logistic Systems (DLS) are partnered with customers from a variety of different industries to meet the fast-changing demands of supply chain processes and delivery.
