Paper-based Packaging Wins at ScanPack 2024
We are extremely happy and proud to announce that our paper based solution, created together with Sandvik Mining and Construction Tools AB and DS Smith, are one of this year’s winners of the Nordic packaging competition ScanStar 2024.
At this year’s annual ScanStar competition, a record number of 39 entries competed. And we are very grateful to announce that our solution, the “Shank Adapter Packaging”—a safe and sustainable packaging that uses paper handles for a completely new application: packaging for heavy industrial products—was selected by the jury as one of the winners.
“I am proud of the collaboration that Persson Innovation has undertaken with Sandvik Mining and Construction Tools AB and DS Smith, and that it has been recognized. Our paper-based packaging solution is not least contributing to less carbon footprint – it’s also proving that our solution is a significant contribution to a more sustainable packaging world,” says Andreas Carlson, CEO of Persson Innovation.
The jury motivation:
“Primary packaging for Sandvik shank adapters. A 100 % paper-based packaging with such a good design that it makes it easy to carry heavy equipment. A remarkable high quality of corrugated board!”
