For Handling, Storing and shipping heavy, bulky and bigger size parts, role of heavy-duty packaging solution comes in to considerations. Right design and right selection of packaging material would take care of heavy weight, stack ability, loading and unloading of parts safely. Packaging of Engine, transmission, Heavy axle, vehicle body, Heavy castings comes under Heavy duty packaging.

AAA packaging or AAA board is a technology based engineered material for heavy duty packaging. It is a heavy duty 7 layered corrugated board with AAA flute construction. The AAA flute combination helps us to make such strong boxes made of paper which can hold tones of weight. It is versatile, economic, light-in weight yet robust and reliable corrugation product. With high strength to weight ratio, AAA board is very light in weight compared to its size. Hence, AAA board is preferred for transportation/shipping goods for significant distances. Low weight helps in lowering down the transportation cost. Typical AAA board is made from virgin/recycled material. Typical Board Specification: a) Thickness: 15mm b) GSM: 2000+ c) Bursting strength: 32kg/sqcm d) ECT: 21kn/m e) Moisture: 7-10%. These boards can take load of 2 Ton static load and approx. 1.3 Ton dynamic. AAA packaging is the best replacement of wooden packaging.

The automotive industry, seen from a global perspective, has immense complexities in terms of its supply chain and quality. Due to backward integration of more than 5,000 different parts, vehicle variants and other complexities, maintaining seamless supplies throughout the entire supply chain becomes critical. Today, automotive packaging, which is specifically designed for shipping and storage of vehicles and their many parts and components, calls for more focused attention due to substantial growth in the supply chain industry globally. Added to that is the need for cost competitiveness and the intense environmental pressure that automakers face

Sustainable packaging is the development and use of packaging which results in improved sustainability. This involves increased use of life cycle inventory (LCI) and life cycle assessment (LCA) to help guide the use of packaging that reduces the environmental impact and ecological footprint.

Green packaging, also known as sustainable packaging or eco-friendly packaging. This refers to packaging design and development which reduces carbon footprint as much as possible.

Econovus Design comprises strong blend of Design Thinking, Co Design, Co Innovation, Cost optimization and Sustainability deeply Ingrained in the approach.

Key pillars of Econovus design approach are:

• Technical Performance
• Cost
• Regulatory Compliance
• Resource Optimization
• Sustainability

ENPDP is a 10-step process which consist of 1. Understanding Customer voice 2. Design thinking / DFMEA / Co-Design / Co-Innovation 3. Technical Specification / Concept / Indicative cost       4. Detail Design 5. Software Simulation / CAE Analysis 6. Prototyping / Mock-up 7. Inhouse Testing      8. RWUP Testing 9. Pilot Supplies 10. SOVP.

The robust ENPDP process ensures FTR (First Time Right) packaging and reduced lead time for development.

Innovative packaging solution: Radical thinking and Disruptive approach in innovation helps design and develop packaging solution that creates huge value to the customer in terms of cost reduction, safety and reduction in carbon footprint.

Traditional Packaging: Packaging refers to basic protection of parts without taking into consideration sustainability, cost and branding.

Export packaging solution refers to ensuring your product arrives safe and secure at its final destination. Export packaging strengthen and withstand the conditions of maritime transport, while also capably handling even more severe stresses. Such stresses not only occur during maritime transport but also during multiple cargo handling due to impact, pushing and overturning. Sometimes to meet timelines, part shortages and shelf life of certain parts, there are different sets of packaging requirements for air cargo logistics which companies use.

“ESP” pallet, (Econovus Sustainable Paper Pallet) is the best replacement for wooden pallets. ESP is now a trademark and a brand from the house of Econovus. ESP pallets are made, designed and customized as per the technical requirement. These are made from high technology paper corrugated board wherein weight is 40% less than wooden pallet. ESP pallet is best suitable for Export, especially air freight because of its much lesser weight. Thus, enabling for a huge freight cost savings. Further, cost of ESP paper pallet is 30% lesser than wooden pallet and is also a much eco-friendlier option as it does not end up in a pile of wooden waste full of galvanized nails.

Yes, ESP Pallets are 100% water proof. Specialized waterproofing treatment procedure is followed by Econovus to make ESP pallets 100% water proof.

Paper Pallet is exempted from ISPM15 and no fumigation is required. This is acceptable across the globe.

Pallet less packaging or Box is the unique solution to completely eliminate the use of pallets. The corrugated cylinders/blocks are fixed to the box using glue. The block numbers and layout are custom designed to take care of all the strength requirements of the supply chain be it air or sea. Pallet-less packaging aims to eliminate transport of pallets by using the goods themselves as the loading platforms.

Heavy Duty high technology corrugated AAA board packaging is the best replacement of wooden packaging. This is 100% eco-friendly light weight material which can take a load of 2 Ton carrying load with high stack ability.

Export worthy packaging cost, Container utilization / optimization are the main cost drivers which plays a crucial role in the commercial viability of Export business case. However, this enables increase in innovation and technology in packaging for cost effective and sustainable packaging.

Returnable is the best optimization and best utilization of packaging by reusing packaging material without compromising protection of customer parts. Complete end to end life cycle management of returnable packaging includes: designing, providing packaging material, handling, warehousing and logistics, done by rental company. Customer only pays rent per unit. This model is 100% sustainable, green, cost effective and a win-win model for customer and the rental packaging company.

Carbon Neutral is a term used to describe the state of a plant, where the carbon emissions caused by them have been balanced out by funding an equivalent amount of carbon savings elsewhere in the world. Assessment of LCA – Life cycle assessment and having sustainability vision and further robust plan for the carbon reduction would be a key for achieving carbon neutral plant status. Packaging also plays an important role in the reduction of carbon footprint by eliminating all the wooden packaging with eco-friendly materials.

ISPM 15 is an International Phytosanitary Measure developed by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) that directly addresses the need to treat wood materials of a thickness greater than 6mm, used to ship products between countries. Its main purpose is to prevent the international transport and spread of disease and insects that could negatively affect plants or ecosystems. ISPM 15 affects all wood packaging material (pallets, crates, dunnage, etc.) requiring that they be debarked and then heat treated or fumigated with methyl bromide and stamped or branded, with a mark of compliance. This mark of compliance is colloquially known as the “wheat stamp”. Products exempt from the ISPM 15 are made from an alternative material, like paper, plastic or wood panel products (i.e.OSB, hardboard, and plywood)

FSC -COC – Forestry Stewardship council – Chain of custody certification provides credible assurance for products with environmentally and socially responsible sources to access the market. This refers to traceability from the origin of raw material to all the processes till the end use of the product and ensure environmental and social responsibility.

Digital Packaging is packaging which use digital technology, 3D software, Printed electronics and digital & software-based manufacturing system. It is any packaging that features connected technology that includes QR codes, BEL, Smart phone scanning etc.

Digital packaging promotes interaction with customers and may collect data about its journey from raw material, production process to disposal. Digital Packaging enhances the relationship between companies and consumer and works through processes of engagement like education, entertainment and other interactive activities.
