Packaging Performance Service – packed with expertise
Thursday 01. May 2008 - "At Korsnäs, we have amassed a great deal of packaging expertise over the years that our customers benefit from through testing, studies, consultations and packaging design. We feel it is time to make our service offering more explicit in order to clearly show how we can help our customers do even better business," says Olle Steffner, Head of Development at Korsnäs.
Packaging Performance Service encompasses services in three primary areas – maximal packaging exposure, user-friendly packaging and packaging optimisation. Korsnäs have a packaging laboratory where we design packs with a focus on packaging optimisation with our cartonboard. “In 2007, we carried out 140 customer projects through this service, and in 2008 were seeing increased demand for our services,” says packaging designer Lena Dahlberg. Thanks to the merger of Korsnäs and AssiDomän Frövi, we have broadened our range of in-house expertise, and Packaging Performance Service has several exciting new offerings.
Want to know the truth about packaging design? Ask the consumer!
Korsnäs has offered consumer studies in cooperation with our partner Norm for some time. The goal might be to identify the strongest-selling packaging solution or it might be to find the most consumer-friendly – and sometimes both. Our studies survey a representative sample of the target group and provide answers about which design proposals are preferred, the advantages and disadvantages of the proposals, and suggestions for potential improvements.
We have also upgraded Korsnäs proprietary optimisation programme, OPTIPACK, available at www.korsnas.com, during 2007. In addition, a unique new service utilising tear strips containing recommendations, tests and suggestions for improvement is being developed. “I feel like we’re really able to offer our customers an excellent service package now – filled with expertise!” says Olle Steffner.
