Svenskt Kosttillskott, an e-commerce company selling nutritional products in Sweden, was looking for a voidfill solution to prevent products from shifting during transport. They had tried cardboard shredding and airbags but these caused dust issues and damage from deflation. An expert recommended Ranpak's FillPak TT cutters, with one at each packing station. This improved packing speed and reduced employee strain by providing voidfill directly at packing. Damage rates decreased significantly with the new solution.

Overview picture
Application and customer challenges
A wide variety of products / orders are sent in corrugated
boxes and have a tendency to shift inside the box. Therefore
Svenskt Kosttillskott was looking for an effective voidfill/
blocking solution. Previously they were using a cardboard
shredder but that was deemed too dusty by the receiving
consumers and the employees complained about inhaling
dust particles. So they decided to switch to plastic based
airbags. While this solved the dust issues, it unfortunately
lead to another problem. Airbags deflated/ got punctured
during transport, leading to a strong increase in damage rates
and customer claims. Another issue was the ergonomics for
the employees, so they brought in an expert from Jarfalla,
who recommended a different solution.

mainly vitamins and proteins, but nowadays sell anything

clothing, dumbbells etc). The growth materialized because of

range of American products available.

Happy employees and happy customers, what more
could we ask for? According to Oliver the packers are
more productive and the damage rates decreased

the packaging is doing the job it needs to do.
Future: We will continue to grow and add more SKU’s
to our portfilio, needing a new warehouse soon.
Paper will remain our preferred voidfill product.
