The Situation
A medical cabinet manufacturer was facing significant costs from cabinets arriving at their final destination scratched, dented, and damaged during transit.
The damage resulted in costly replacement parts and technical service expenses, creating a significant financial burden for the company. With annual damage claims reaching the mid-six figures, the company needed a new approach to protecting its cabinets throughout the transportation process.
Challenges at a Glance
A New Approach to Protection
Kamps took a comprehensive approach to protecting the cabinets during transit by redesigning key elements of the existing packaging system.
This led to a 180 degree change in the way cabinet were protected. The costly, outdated wooden topper was replaced with a corrugated die-cut tray, while Kamps protective material was introduced to prevent scratching and denting. Also, honeycomb bumpers were relocated to strategic areas to absorb impact during transit. These changes created a more effective protective packaging solution designed to better protect the customer’s products.
Kamps combined packaging expertise with a custom approach to address the specific causes of cabinet damage during transit.
