Challenges

In the market there were about 30 different RTI in the market. There was no coordination of RTI control and inventory, but also washing and sorting was costly. The old solution was not efficient and also not pretty in display. Moreover there was too much of cardboard in the supply chain and they wanted to remove as much of one-way packaging materials as possible.

The need for maximum 3 to 5 interstackable crates needed to be created. These would become the new standard and should be approved by the market. Another condition was that they needed to be suitable to palletize on a 1200x800 pallet and appropriate to efficient SKU.

  • easy washable

  • suitable for all size of dairy primary packaging

  • suitable for all other category products

  • suitable for automatic lines

  • suitable for retail setup

  • suitable for cooling

  • Stackable

  • Safe

  • Solid and durable
