In the industrial sector, packaging is a vital logistics step. Companies manufacturing machinery and equipment look for packaging solutions that fit their products perfectly. Even better, something that protects the health and safety of workers! By mainly producing customised boxes, @NO-NAIL BOXES responds to the specific requirements of its customers, thus standing out from the competition, which for 80% make standard boxes. Out of 350,000 collapsible boxes produced annually in the NO-NAIL BOXES workshops, 95% are custom built.
“We are able to customise the sizes of our boxes based on the customer’s requirements. And that gives a series of advantages to the customer: the box will be better suited to the product, there will be no need to add any unnecessary cushioning, and the packaging will be lighter and less bulky. This reduces space, material, weight and costs, all at the same time!,” says Boris REMY, Sales Manager.
Preventing MSDs
A collapsible plywood box by @NO-NAIL BOXES is 3x lighter than a traditional wooden box. The lightness of the plywood makes it easy to handle. What’s more, our boxes are easy to assemble, improving safety for your staff.
The NO-NAIL BOXES packaging solutions make it possible to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Since it mostly produces tailor-made boxes (95%), the company can develop packaging providing easy access to products. Once the product is on a pallet, all you need to do is assemble the box around it.
All these specific projects are possible thanks to the 65 years’ experience acquired by NO-NAIL BOXES in the packaging sector, and to its design office. This office is able to manage customised projects from A to Z: developing the 3D modelling of the box based on the 3D design of the customer’s product, being responsible for the overall management of the job specifications and for providing a customised solution.
