Elopak and Kompak open D-PAK™ Showroom
In a joint initiative, Elopak, one of the world’s leading suppliers of carton packaging and filling machines, and Kompak Nederland BV, a leading European co-filler in the home and personal care sector, are bringing sustainable carton packaging for liquid non-food products to life.
The partnership has resulted in the creation of a D-PAK™ showroom at the Kompak site in Etten-Leur, the Netherlands. On site, both existing and potential customers will have the opportunity to experience the revolutionary D-PAK™ carton packaging solution for liquid non-food products such as detergents, cleaning agents and personal care products – from design and handling to actual filling.
The new showroom is wall-to-wall to the production area and features interactive stations that vividly convey the versatility, sustainability and marketing potential of D-PAK™ – including a multimedia ‘wall of cartons’, design samples and information on the life cycle of the packaging.
For a seamless production on site, two Elopak filling lines were installed at Kompak, with a third to follow later in the year. This setup enables high flexibility and fast market launches – a key advantage for brands that want to switch to sustainable packaging.
Elopak’s D-PAK™ gable top carton for non-food is part of its “Repackaging tomorrow” strategy designed to reduce the proportion of plastic packaging in the market for liquid consumer products and gradually replace it with sustainable carton packaging.
says Dirk Endlich, Vice President P2C Plastic to Carton at Elopak.In a world dominated by digital touchpoints, the desire for tangible experiences is stronger than ever – even in B2B. With the D-PAK™ showroom, we want to create trust and offer an exciting new experience.
D-PAK™ reduces the amount of plastic by up to 80 per cent compared to conventional packaging such as pouches or plastic bottles – with no compromise on safety or functionality. The packaging can be used both as primary packaging and as a refill solution.
“We see huge potential in the D-PAK™ carton,” adds Geert Buijsman, CEO of Kompak. “It is highly functional, sustainable and cost-effective. With D-PAK™, you can streamline processes, cut costs and explore new markets.”
With the showroom and the integrated Elopak filling technology, both companies now offer a comprehensive ‘one-stop shop’ to support brands on their journey to greater sustainability.
