Introduction of packaging improvement case using Naviace (Maruyama Manufacturing Co., Ltd.)

[Presenting case study materials] From wooden packaging to all cardboard packaging. Achieving efficiency through stacking and reduction of packaging materials!

We would like to introduce a case study of packaging improvement using reinforced cardboard "Naviace." Maruyama Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer primarily engaged in the production and sale of power sprayers. When exporting their "self-propelled remote-controlled power sprayer" to South Korea, we proposed packaging that allows for overseas transportation and contributes to efficiency and the achievement of SDGs. [Challenges] × The use of wood required fumigation treatment and disposal of industrial waste at the destination. × The domestic packaging was simple, making stacking impossible. × Separate packaging of accessory parts posed risks of damage and loss during transportation. In response, we proposed "all cardboard packaging." [Improvements] ◎ Eliminated wood by using a Navi-pallet with laminated materials to support products weighing 160 kg with wheels. ◎ Achieved high-efficiency loading with strength capable of withstanding three layers of stacking. ◎ Innovated the shape for product fixation, reducing packaging materials by placing parts in dividers. ◎ Enabled fixation with a laminated wheel stopper, improving efficiency. As a result of this initiative, we received the Large and Heavy Goods Packaging Award at the "Japan Packaging Contest 2020." *For more details, please refer to the materials. We are also offering a "case study collection" that introduces other improvement examples.
