Thuiswinkel.org is an association helping companies from startups to established e-retailers to support better navigation of the complex landscape of eCommerce in the Netherlands. Together with valued business partners such as Packsize, Thuiswinkel.org provides innovative solutions plus legal and sustainability expertise to become trustworthy, successful & more sustainable.
Thuiswinkel.org welcomes a new business partner: Packsize. They spoke with Tibor Tholen, Account Manager Enterprise at Packsize, about the challenges, developments and how Packsize can help Thuiswinkel.org members pack more sustainably.
"At Packsize, we are really proud of our core values: Succeeding together, Innovating passionately and Driving sustainability," Tibor says. "Smarter Packaging for a Healthy Planet is our 'why'. We are proud of our commitment to sustainability and our innovations in automated packaging solutions. This dedication resonates with everything we do as we help customers do business more economically and efficiently."
Sustainability is at the core of everything Packsize does. They are passionate about protecting the environment and helping their associates to pack more sustainably. "It's a journey to a greener future by discovering innovations and making packaging more sustainable," Tibor explains.
"By working with customers to design their perfect process flow, helping them to be more sustainable and meet their goals," says Tibor. "We are a company open to ideas and always interested in connecting with people, sharing experiences and developing new innovations in packaging together."
"Uncertainty in certain markets is a challenge. Inflation, persistent labour shortages, political conflicts and higher energy prices sometimes make customers reluctant to make investments," Tibor indicates. "Through our Packaging-as-a-Service business model, which requires little to no investment in hardware, we make it more cost efficient and adaptable to automate. Flexibility and deep understanding of the customer situation are very important here."
"The exceptionally high volumes in eCommerce during COVID have now subsided and stabilised, but in the long-term eCommerce will continue to grow and volumes will rise again," Tibor says. "The rising demand and shortage of supply in the labor market will continue to be an issue for fulfillment and logistics companies. They will have to start automating their processes to keep up and meet demand."
"As Packsize, we like to engage with Thuiswinkel.org members about more sustainable packaging, developing more efficient processes and realizing cost savings," Tibor explains. "We make packaging right-sized and On Demand, meaning we make each box smaller. That translates to less material being used and less air shipped, resulting in lower transportation costs and last-mile movements, and a better customer experience when the order arrives. Based on our customers' individual needs, we develop customised packaging solutions.”
"Yes, we are a global player in On Demand Packaging, with the strongest presence in Europe and the United States," says Tibor. "In Europe, we serve customers in all corners of the continent and have a reliable supply chain to support this service in terms of corrugated board, machine systems, spare parts and service."
"We can help Thuiswinkel.org members with a process they can use in multiple locations, in different countries with different integrator partners," Tibor explains. "We can analyse and develop together to come up with the best possible process that suits a specific location."
