Discover DS Smith Light Wrap
Suitable for transport, SRP and multipack solutions within ambient or chilled supply chains.
Improved Customer Experience
The innovative design of DS Smith Light Wrap ensures that the bottom layers are well protected when on a pallet, ensuring the cartons arrive in pristine condition to the store. This reduces damages, spillages, and waste, maintaining brand image. In addition, DS Smith Light Wrap has the potential to improve print quality for brand messaging, where the chosen flute profile allows.
Enhanced sustainability
Through flute profile optimisation and removal of the corners, we can reduce the amount of fibre utilised in DS Smith Light Wrap. This adjustment leads to optimised palletisation of blanks, ultimately resulting in reduced CO2 emissions from decreased transportation needs.
Supply Chain Efficiency
The optimised design of DS Smith Light Wrap allows more blanks on a pallet, leading to potential savings on transport and storage space. The increased protection that DS Smith Light Wrap provides to the primary packs ensures that a consistent quality product is always merchandised, with no wasted stock, availability issues, loss of sales or damage claims.
Easy to Implement Solution
Light Wrap has been rigorously tested by DS Smith in our plant network, but also on our customers current lines. The design allows for a perfect integration in assembly lines of existing corrugated wrap around solutions and does not require any special adjustments to be made.
