Mondi supports e-commerce growth with the upcoming launch of its latest corrugated packaging solution in Russia
Moscow, 26 June 2018 – According to recent statistics, the Russian e-commerce market is expected to grow to 21.82 billion US dollars by 2020. [1] However, customers complain about the hassle involved in returning products purchased online – the process usually involves having to manually tape up the original box or having to repack the goods entirely. In response to this situation, the global packaging and paper producer Mondi will present its latest e-commerce solution Re(use) at the trade show RosUpack 2018 at Booth B503 in Hall 15, Pavilion 3, which will be available on the Russian market late 2018.
Re(use) is a one piece shipping solution featuring a double hot-melt application. The first hot-melt strip is used during fulfilment to tightly seal the package for dispatch, making additional plastic foil wrapping or bagging obsolete. The convenient tear-open strip – located between the two hot-melt strips - gives consumers easy access to their products upon receipt. If the product is not to their liking, the consumer can use the second hot-melt strip to quickly reseal the packaging and return it. Mariusz Sobieraj, Managing Director of Mondi Lebedyan commented: “This smart, yet simple, solution meets the growing demand of Russian customers for user-friendly packaging. Our easy-to-use, light and sustainable packaging solution helps brands stay competitive on the e-commerce market and boost brand loyalty.”
The packaging solution for e-commerce was developed for the German and Polish e-commerce market for clothing, shoes and accessories. To accommodate similar requests in the near future, Mondi’s site in Lebedyan, Russia, was recently equipped with a brand-new folder gluer, and is soon to be expanded by a hotmelt and tear tape unit.
To learn more about this solution, visit Mondi at Booth B503 in Hall 15, Pavilion 3 at RosUpack 2018 in Moscow, Russia (26-29 June 2018).
