MONDI has collaborated with Ovoko, an online marketplace for car parts, to co-create packaging tailored to the demands of its e-commerce supply chain.
Ovoko approached Mondi to solve the challenge of shipping car bumpers. The previous packaging was said to have been costly and offered insufficient protection, leading to product damage and additional operational effort.
Mondi explained how it adapted a heavy-duty solution from its automotive portfolio, ‘precisely’ shaping the packaging to the bumper’s geometry. This eliminates empty space and reduces material use.
The result is described as a 42% reduction in unit packaging costs, improved operational efficiency, and more responsible material use. Following testing under real-life conditions, the solution was approved and the first trial order delivered within two weeks.
“Sometimes the best solution is the simplest one. By adapting a proven packaging concept, we were able to quickly deliver a reliable and cost-efficient corrugated packaging solution that met Ovoko’s needs,” said Dmitrijus Curkinas, regional sales manager, Mondi Poland.
