Cast fiber pads for rims - sustainable protection for your car parts.

The challenge: Recyclable padding for shipping wheel rims
 

Our task was to develop environmentally friendly protective packaging for wheel rims that not only meets the high requirements of parcel shipping but can also be integrated into our customers' existing automation systems.

The requirements

The aim was to create a sustainable rim packaging system that: 

  • can be handled fully automatically and can be integrated into our customers' existing automation processes

  • guarantees maximum protection for the rim, even in demanding parcel shipping

  • securely packs all rim sizes from 18 to 22 inches with a single solution

Our solution

Our cast fiber protective pads for rims offer an innovative and sustainable packaging solution that is not only environmentally friendly, but also ensures maximum efficiency in logistics. They combine versatility, protection and cost efficiency in a single product. Thanks to the stackability of the moulded fibre parts, for example, our customer's automated packaging lines have been optimized. This not only reduced storage costs, but also personnel and procurement costs. The packaging is still suitable for individual shipping and ensures optimized costs thanks to minimal material usage. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that a single solution packs all rim variants from 18 to 22 inches safely and reliably.


In our developments, we consider the entire logistics chain of our customers in order to develop a perfect and environmentally friendly packaging solution. In close consultation with our customers, we analyze every step of the process - from packaging to shipping - and adapt our products so that they not only solve existing challenges, but also create added value in the long term.
