The Brief
A company that specialises in creating complex medical devices approached us asking for our help in creating them a shipping box that can keep their machines safe during transit. The product is extremely fragile and contains several sensitive components and glass that can be damaged when in transit. The client had been using wooden crates that create substantial vibrations when being shipped via airfreight, which increases the risk of the products arriving damaged.
Their main goals were to:
- Create a shipping crate that would be able to transport a highly fragile and expensive medical device.
- Replace the standard wooden shipping crates that the company was using with an option that would reduce the risk of damage by absorbing the vibration the crate receives in transit.
- Assemble protective packaging that can be placed into the crate in order to prevent the glass and sensitive equipment from moving and breaking.
- Lower the cost of the shipment when sending the crates via airfreight by reducing the overall weight.
- Have a product that can be fully recycled with no part going to landfill once it reaches its destination.
