2. Empties Optimisation &
Standartisation Working Group
Established to deal with currently inefficient use of
resources in the whole supply chain created by a number
of various different non-stackable types of secondary
returnable packaging in use in the Baltic States
3. Working Group:
Main Issues to Address
• Returnable Transportation Packaging (RTP)
standartisation within/between product
categories
• RTP pooling opportunities
• Efficient RTP criteria
• HOT: Dairy crates standartisation
7. Ideal (Missing) Polypack Crate
Criteria
• Same sizes in terms of length and width as currently
used box
• Closed by walls from all 4 sides, holding the product
inside the crate
• Bottom part closed
• Interstackable - could be placed one on another
• Easy to handle (storing, moving, displaying, returning,
washing)
• Fits manufacturer packaging lines (automatic lines)
• Has hand-holders
• Effective in cooling
• Cost-efficient
• Products should be visible for shoppers
• Optimum colour for display in store is light grey
8. Current Dairy Packaging Overview:
Retailer Perspective
Non-Returnable Packaging
– “Simple” carton boxes vs.
– Retail Ready Packaging

10. Dairy Plastic Crates
Current Dairy Packaging Issues
• 15-20 different types of crates
per country distributed
• Different sizes & standards
• Non-stackable: high risk of
damage & shrink, decreased on
shelf availability
• Proper crates missing for milk
in plastic and small size
products, manual not efficient
solutions prepared by suppliers
• Complicated handling & return
14. Current Dairy Crates Overview:
Common Needs
• Fit current industry standards of primary
packaging
• Product quality protection
• Hygiene
• Ease of handling at all points of supply chain
• Merchandising efficiency
• Stackability
• Optimised number of products inside
• Reduction of transport and warehousing costs
• Excellence in Point of Sales
15. Working Group Work-in-Progress
Only 3, maximum 4 types of crates
All stack together in one system
Much easier and faster handling (storing,
moving, displaying, returning, washing,
returning)
Bigger orders = lower costs
Less waste
18. Dairy Crates Standartisation
Benefits for Manufacturers
• Cost effectiveness for manufacturers due to
production processes automatisation:
– savings in labour costs
– savings in packaging material/carton
• Lower prices for crates – bigger orders
from producers/ all Baltic manufacturers
would create economy of scale for crate
manufacturers and drive costs down
• Common solution for all retailers – no risk
due to standardised secondary packaging
• Standardisation process should start from
high volume products
19. Dairy Crates Standartisation
Benefits in Logistics
• Savings due to stackable
packaging solutions
• Increased efficiency due
to possibilities to have
shorter controlling time in
sales process with coding
of crates – scanner
solutions
• Effective and acceptable
sales units – higher
efficiency in terminal
picking processes
20. Dairy Crates Standartisation
Benefits for Consumer & Retailer
• On-shelf availability increase
• Less vulnerable packaging would reduce waste
• More attractive and clear shelves layout in stores
drives customer saisfaction
• Efficient transportation, handling and return
• There is a difference in handling 20 vs 2 types of crates
• Efficient use of space and human resources
• Speed of handling in all chain
• Appropriate size of the crate
• Re-usable packaging is friendlier to environment
• Biggest benefit is agreeing same crate standards and
labelling, so all parties benefit from standardised
empties
