Mondi Helps Büromodel Reduce Packing Costs with Tailor-Made Corrugated Packaging
Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has partnered with furniture manufacturer Büromodel to develop a customised corrugated packaging solution for shipping acoustic office cabins across Europe and international markets. The new packaging has improved operational efficiency while lowering overall packing costs.
Büromodel previously relied on wooden and plywood crates, which posed health and safety challenges and were becoming less acceptable in key export markets, including Germany and the UK. Working closely with Mondi, the company transitioned to a bespoke corrugated packaging solution that provides reliable product protection during transport while eliminating mould issues previously encountered during sea freight shipments.
The corrugated packaging also delivers significant logistics and operational advantages. Its stackable design improves warehouse space utilisation and transportation efficiency, while the simplified assembly process reduces packing time and labour requirements compared with the company’s former in-house wooden crate production.
Designed to integrate seamlessly into Büromodel’s existing production and logistics operations, the new solution required no additional capital investment. According to the company, the switch has reduced packing costs by approximately 20%, primarily through lower material and operational expenses.
In addition to cost savings, the recyclable corrugated packaging has enhanced customer satisfaction and reinforced Büromodel’s commitment to environmentally responsible business practices, generating positive feedback from end users.
Sinan Müsellim, Procurement Manager at Büromodel, said the move away from wooden packaging was a strategic decision, adding that Mondi worked closely with the company to develop a packaging solution that meets operational requirements across different markets.
Metin Morhayim, Sales and Marketing Director at Mondi Corrugated Turkey, said the project demonstrates how packaging can become an integral part of customers’ operations by improving efficiency while supporting broader business objectives.
