MONDI has revealed details of its collaboration with furniture manufacturer Büromodel to develop a bespoke corrugated packaging solution for shipping acoustic office cabins across Europe and beyond.
The firm explained that traditional wooden and plywood crates presented challenges in terms of health and safety risks and were becoming less preferred in key export markets such as the UK and Germany. Mondi worked with Büromodel to switch to a corrugated solution that is said to have eliminated mould issues that had previously been experienced during sea freight transportation.
Mondi added that the transition has delivered benefits including more efficient use of storage space and enhanced logistics performance through a stackable design. Compared to Büromodel’s former in-house wood-based crate production process, the corrugated solution is also ‘easier and faster’ to assemble and pack.
The new packaging integrates into Büromodel’s existing production and logistics processes without requiring additional investment. The use of recyclable corrugated packaging also supports Büromodel’s environmental credentials.
Sinan Müsellim, procurement manager at Büromodel, said, “Moving away from wooden packaging was a strategic decision for us. Mondi’s team understood our operational requirements and worked with us to find a solution we could trust across different markets. That confidence in the packaging is just as important as the efficiency gains.”
Metin Morhayim, sales and marketing director at Mondi Corrugated Turkey, added, “This project shows what is possible when packaging is treated as part of the customer’s operation, not just a protective layer. By working closely with Büromodel, we were able to design a solution that fits their processes and supports their business needs.”
