Its solutions can be personalized according to the most disparate target market requirements, from mass market to luxury and from POP display to a wide variety of industrial sectors, DS Smith cardboard packaging is optimized for each specific application, whether to adorn, protect or handle a product. As a complex and unique operator on the industrial panorama, DS Smith offers a “closed loop” service that includes the supply of materials and packaging but also corrugated cardboard recovery and reuse to achieve “zero waste” regimes.

- preventing product damage, including at the most critical stages of the supply chain;
- optimizing speed and productivity of the packaging line;
- reducing the number of items in the warehouse;
- protecting against theft and tampering;
- offering a practical system for returns using the same resealable e-retail carton, with no damages or compromised parts.
