In the new packaging, the DS Smith design team have used fibre-based corrugated cardboard materials to replace Expanded Polyethylene (EPE foam) in Raymarine’s previous solution. They can ensure that the radar products are provided with a maximum protection against vibrations, unforeseeable physical impacts, and knocks, during their transit and transportation to local and international customers.
Fibre-based sustainable solution
The DS Smith designers have also incorporated a perpendicular shaped corrugated cardboard flute with a 90-degree angle into the packaging structure to provide built-in strength and a reinforced capacity to withstand shocks. They have introduced crumple zone layers to deform and absorb energy in the event of any collision, and installed fibre-based air cushions to provide additional optimum support.
