Packaging Designing Process
With a 75-year legacy and commitment to saving resources, we engineer packaging solutions for your supply chain challenges.
We Design Optimized Packaging
Prioritizing holistic and efficient design and material selection, we aim to unlock savings and extend environmental impact reduction beyond packaging, including transport, handling, protection, and warehousing, while ensuring a high level of quality. Moreover, by utilizing our 3D-based engineering process, we enable efficient global collaboration.
Reduce Costs
By analyzing different elements of our customers' supply chains, including transportation, storage, and handling, we tailor packaging solutions to minimize overall logistics costs while maintaining efficiency and effectiveness.
Data Driven Optimization
By analyzing data and metrics, we can make informed decisions to improve and enhance your packaging solutions. This ensures high quality and performance for your packaging while minimizing cost and environmental impact.
Reduce Environmental Impact
Our sustainable packaging solutions are designed holistically to mitigate environmental impact across the supply chain. Our engineering teams follow Nefab's sustainability design guidelines when developing new packaging solutions.
Sustainable Design Guidelines
A truly circular packaging design considers the whole lifecycle of a packaging product, from sourcing to production to distribution. Guided by strong sustainable design guidelines, we adhere to the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3R) in our packaging solutions. This ensures that our designs not only meet the highest standards of performance but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
Design to Reduce
Reducing the amount of materials used and resources needed to ship the packaging is the number one rule of the 3Rs approach in supply chains. At Nefab, we employ various strategies to achieve savings along this path, such as load optimization and efficient packaging handling. By reducing environmental impact during transportation, minimizing packaging material usage, and mitigating product fragility, we uphold our commitment to sustainability while enhancing operational efficiency.
Design to Reuse
Designing to reuse packaging throughout the supply chain cycle is an effective strategy for conserving resources. Nefab accomplishes this through three key methods. First, we prioritize the reuse of packaging multiple times, maximizing its lifespan. Second, we manage returnable pools efficiently to ensure optimal utilization. Finally, we select packaging that can be repaired and utilized across the entire supply chain, further reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
Design to Recycle
When selecting packaging, Nefab opts for materials with high recycled content and ensure they can be easily recycled again. By adopting a circular approach, we prioritize sustainability and contribute to a more environmentally friendly future.
GreenCalc: Our Sustainable Design Tool
One of the key tools that support our optimal design process is GreenCalc – an innovative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool developed by Nefab. GreenCalc empowers packaging engineers and designers to quantify the environmental impact and cost savings of a packaging solution compared to existing alternatives.
