Bomilla has a rich history of delicious sweets and high quality chocolates since 1926. They wanted their high quality sweets to have a packaging that achieved the same level of outstanding quality.
Challenge: Increase packaging automation and quality
The current design needed expensive manual gluing because the format was not stable enough to be automated. The resulting quality didn’t meet Bomilla’s expectations and it made the entire production process unnecessarily long, expensive and with inconsistent quality.
Our Approach: Better packaging design and superior materials
The R&D team from DS Smith in Kielce, Poland created a new design with an additional strip of board. This allowed the packaging to be glued automatically as part of the production process and resulted in a more consistent, higher quality packaging at a lower cost. Thanks the higher, more consistent quality, the packaging also looks better.
Results: Lower cost, increased efficiency, managed risk
Lower production costs by moving to automated gluing
Increase production capacity with faster, more automated packing process
Reduced product damage with higher quality packaging
Improved environmental performance by using less material
Faster order fulfilment and increased customer satisfaction
