Sparck Technologies, the automated ‘right-size’ boxing specialist, has enhanced the range capabilities of its CVP Everest ‘fit-to-size’ packaging system, enabling it to produce individually made ultra-slim boxes suitable for most European mailbox deliveries.
Ecommerce businesses can now take advantage of technology that creates ‘home delivery’ custom-made boxes with a profile as low as 28mm – tailored packaging that fits through most standard letterboxes.
The new ultra-slim 28mm profile passes an important threshold, allowing businesses to benefit from cheaper ‘letter rate’ postal costs – opening up a vast market for ‘fit-to-size’ mailbox compliant packaging. Customers benefit too, by not having to wait in for a delivery and can be secure in the knowledge that their goods will arrive well protected in a precision-made low-profile box.
The market-leading development offers major benefits for businesses delivering direct to ecommerce customers, allowing a single ‘first-time successful’ and secure delivery, removing the costs and issues associated with a second attempted delivery or return.
Sparck’s latest groundbreaking technology enables ecommerce and multi-channel businesses across a broad array of sectors to offer their customers secure and compact, boxed orders delivered directly through their mailbox. The new low-profile technology brings ‘right-size’ automated packaging to an even wider range of products from T-shirts to electronic goods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. And being ‘right-size’ technology, single or multiple order items can be automatically scanned and boxed for optimum results, giving businesses flexibility to cater for a varied order profile.
The new, enhanced range capabilities of the CVP Everest greatly expands the potential band-width of products that can be processed, from the smallest of garment items that can fit through a letterbox, right up to products the size of a vacuum cleaner – flexibility that offers over 40 million different box sizes.
Jo Bradley, Business Development Manager at Sparck Technologies says: “When it comes to ecommerce packaging, size is everything. Not only do snug, tailored boxes save money, cardboard, CO2 and transit space – making a ‘right-size’ box that is slim enough to go through a letterbox opens up a whole new dimension of delivery performance and savings. Letter postal rates are not only considerably cheaper, but there’s no need for a second attempt at delivery, with all the ensuing costs, if no one is at home. And for the customer too, they’re not confined to home waiting for a delivery.
