Seeing packaging performance through the eyes of your customers
Is corrugated packaging the first experience between your brand and your customers? How do you tailor your product packaging to meet your customers’ critical needs? How do you manage the complexity of your supply-chains?
Inadequate corrugated packaging performance can impact the image of your brand, generate negative user-experience, and result in high packaging or product return costs. Ultimately, this may impact the sustainable profitability of all stakeholders throughout the supply-chain.
H.B. Fuller supports brand owners, retail and supply-chain managers in designing corrugated packaging to solve these challenges. In doing so, we have conducted a pan-European packaging field observation study. We looked at several distribution channels for fast moving consumer goods, domestic appliances, tools, gardening products and equipment, toys, sanitary products and furniture.
Frederic Di Monte, innovation marketing manager, H.B. Fuller, will present the results of this study showing examples of underperforming packaging and highlighting common issues. Kelby Ridenour, global marketing and innovation manager,
H.B. Fuller, will present solutions to make your packaging suitable to your customers’ needs and today’s supply-chain complexities.
Join H.B. Fuller’s journey on connecting what matters and working together to improve packaging performance.
