The innovative design creates a “mirrored” half pallet TRDU unit. By utilising a single print design, the half pallet TRDU can be rotated through 180 degrees to sit alongside its identical twin creating a full pallet display. As both flat pack and prefilled shipper units, the TRDUs were pre-printed in five colours. The pre-printed liner was converted in one piece using Smurfit Kappa‟s unique XXL capabilities.
