Mondi has published a new white paper that shows how customised packaging can help food manufacturers and retailers protect product quality and reduce losses along increasingly demanding supply chains.
The white paper - „Packaging as a competitive advantage in the food supply chain“ - shows how dealing with packaging performance challenges in today's complex supply chains can lead to product loss, disruption and reputational damage.
Food manufacturers and retailers are operating in an increasingly demanding supply chain environment. Ensuring product quality, dealing with margin pressure and meeting increasing consumer demands require constant attention and a high level of resilience.
Studies show that 70 per cent of consumers do not buy visibly damaged products - a fact that further increases the pressure on manufacturers and retailers to ensure flawless product presentation at the point of sale.
Practical recommendations for action
The white paper supports food manufacturers, retailers and logistics partners with in-depth insights that help them consider corrugated packaging as a strategic tool to reduce waste and strengthen supply chain resilience. It describes how well-designed corrugated solutions increase stability, withstand stacking pressure, speed up packaging processes and ensure product quality during long and complex distribution channels.
„Packaging plays a crucial role in preventing food waste. Strategically designed, it protects the product, ensures smooth processes and reduces hidden costs, especially under challenging conditions in the supply chain.“
Paulus Goëss, COO Corrugated Solutions at Mondi
The results offer practical recommendations for action that help companies in the food industry to make their supply chains more robust, overcome category-specific challenges and reduce loss-related costs. The approaches described in the white paper are applicable across all sectors - from fresh produce to snacks and confectionery to chilled goods - and help companies to ensure consistent product quality on a large scale.
