Automotive transport packaging solutions
Heavy duty solutions for the automotive industry.
Challenges of the industry
The volume and sales of automotive packaging has increased as result of the explosive growth of automotive industry sales.
Now, with efficiency and environmental pressures on all nations increasing, suppliers are more interested in packaging manufacturers that can lower total supply chain costs and help them be compliant with environmental regulations rather than provide the cheapest piece of plastic or wood.
In Eltete, the automotive industry can find the sustainable fibre-based transport solutions to make recyclable packaging a reality for the auto parts sector.
Heavy-duty solutions inspired by automotive needs
Eltete’s innovative production development is driven by the needs of its customers, while at the same time taking into consideration environmental issues.
Motors, spare parts and automotive elements are heavy, so they require heavy-duty transport packaging solutions – but these don’t need to be heavy.
As they are often exported and shipped long distances by air or by sea, carton solutions are the most suitable as they do not need treatment like wooden pallets do in overseas shipments. Thanks to their light weight and strong structure, automotive parts, small or large, can be delivered safely, significantly reducing high shipping costs, especially when air freight is concerned.
Your goods will be easily and safely positioned, moved and handled during shipping and storage, and the lightweight carton solutions mean that operators do not have to use excessive physical force or movements that could cause risks to their health.
By using lightweight solutions, you will reduce material, transport, warehousing, recycling, labour cost and time.
By reducing your packaging material, you will need less space in the warehouse and can load more goods.
By adopting environmentally-friendly packaging material, your company’s CO2 footprint will be reduced.
End customers will receive their goods undamaged, easily unpack and dispose of the packaging material.

FAQ
How much does a carton pallet solution weigh?

How much weight can a carton pallet take?

Does any carton pallet solution need treatment?
Absolutely not. All our solutions are ISPM-15 compliant. They don’t need any treatment and are accepted anywhere in the world. Using carton-based solutions can reduce the hazardous materials at your facility and around your product and employees.
Why use carton packaging instead of other material?
You will reduce your transport, warehousing and labour costs and save time. Carton packaging is lightweight, reusable, biodegradable and fully recyclable. Plastic takes a thousand of years to biodegrade and wood must be shredded and nails and staples removed for recycling. This can be quite costly.
