DHL introduce easier, greener packaging
DHL Express will introduce new packaging in an effort to simplify its services for customers and reduce its environmental impact. The new 100% recyclable range will extend from an envelope to a pallet box and include a set of seven boxes of different sizes, two triangular tubes and four wine boxes.
The packaging will be available to customers in most countries around the world by late 2009, in a phased rollout.
“This versatile packaging range really does satisfy the majority of our customers’ shipping needs,” said Roland Thomas, vice president, global products, DHL Express.
“We can manage any parcel from 500g to 25kg, cater to a variety of shapes and with our patented pallet box, we can increase the weight range to 100kg.”
Each packaging item has been developed to minimize the amount of raw materials being used, with strength and compression resistance increased through better design. Protective Styrofoam filler material is also no longer used in the new set of wine boxes.
