The sweet taste of success with FRÖVI BRIGHT

The savings were achieved step by step. The first step was to replace the former bag-in box system to the patented Chrystal Air Box system with just a little strip of paper used for sealing at the top and bottom. The next step was to change material to FRÖVI BRIGHT, and having done so it was possible to eliminate the previous PE-coating thanks to the moisture resistance of the Frövi board.

The savings were achieved step by step. The first step was to replace the former bag-in box system to the patented Chrystal Air Box system with just a little strip of paper used for sealing at the top and bottom. The next step was to change material to FRÖVI BRIGHT, and having done so it was possible to eliminate the previous PE-coating thanks to the moisture resistance of the Frövi board. “We saved appr. 10 % on these changes and still got a better performance regarding stability and whiteness of the reverse”, says Mr Holger Bensemann, Purchasing Manager at Nordzucker. But this was only the beginning. Another reason for changing board was that the demand from the retail side to develop a packaging solution without additional fully closed transport packs. With the help of the computer program OPTIPACK the decision was made to use FRÖVI BRIGHT 270 gsm (earlier FBB 255 + 13 gsm PE). Today the packs are loaded only into tray bottoms, without additional tray tops, and are directly stacked on top of eachother. “For us the packaging is an “after sales service” and for the final product that is displayed in the shop, we are totally dependent on our converter and cartonboard producer”, says Dr. Thomas Mörle-Heynisch, Technical and Production Manager. “This business shows how the close partnership between the converter ÅFrövi and us made it possible to achieve improvements in performance, efficiency and cost savings.”
