Cardboard drums, so-called fiber drums, are – according to our understanding – not that sustainable: In addition to the combination of kraftliner, metal and plastic, they are characterized by their high dead weight, awkward use of space during transport, high storage space requirements and complex time-consuming use. They can be tricky and expensive in disposal.
Even conventional cardboard boxes are often not that easy to use and require manual work taping.
We developed a new packaging, that…
- is 100% materially recyclable,
- approved for dangerous goods packing group I (X)
- and offering much more commercial and operative advantages.
Throughout the whole lifecycle – make optimal use of the available space
We understand: Environmental protection is relevant and will remain by saving resources. In day-to-day operations, the question how to use resources sparingly is common practice. More and more companies are setting targets. We can help achieving these targets.
With smart packengeering ® we have developed a packaging that is far superior to conventional solutions by many aspects. You have the option of using an equivalent packaging alternative for barrels made of plastic or paper of 100% corrugated cardboard.
This is completely recycleable via the waste paper cycle. The waste paper is then found again in the production of the packaging of card board.
This packaging solution is perfectly embedded in a material cycle and makes a major contribution to your sustainability goals.
We call it smart packengeering ®.

CONCLUSION:
At the end of the product life cycle, conventional packaging (fiber drums) turns one ton of packaging material into one ton of residual waste. Valuable raw materials get lost.
Our product is and remains a raw material. One ton packaging material is one ton recyclable paper. And one ton of our product represents more packaging units than conventional packaging.
We call it smart packengeering ®.
Hazardous goods must be shipped safely. Accordingly, companies make quite some effort to pack dangerous goods safely.
Our cardboard boxes have passed all test to fulfill all standards for use as packaging for dangerous goods of the highest packaging group. They can be used to pack all dangerous goods that are approved for packaging in cardboard boxes according to the ADR (Accident Data Recorder).
The Federal Institute for Materials and Testing (BAM), Germany, approved its use and issued the necessary approval certificate.
We call it smart packengeering ®
Don´t optimize in percentage anymore – Think in Dimensions!
The innovative packaging concept from Packengeers enables a redesign of the packaging supply chain. Delivered flat (2nd dimension only), the truck´s loading area is optimally used for inbound material. The three-dimensional packaging is built when it is upfolded shortly before use. It is in no way inferior to conventional packaging solutions, often superior.at a glance:
- No shipping of air in empty containers for inbound logistics.
- Up to 75% less shipments for the same number of containers. This reduces operational effort, saves shipping cost, and relieves your staff when receiving the goods.
- Space-saving delivery leads to more efficient storage. The need for storage space gets reduced by more than 50%.
- The containers do not need to be fixed by tape. No need for various materials like body, lid, snap ring. Set up, done. You save valuable set-up time and other expenses.
- More items per pallet compared to competitive products extends the range of pallets at the point of use. It reduces the number of internal transports.
- The packaging fits perfectly on pallets – regardless of which type you are using. Easy and simple handling. The optimal shape of the packaging can save up to 25% of pallets.
Corrugated cardboard is a highly versatile material: with the right use of the corrugation, an extreme physical stability is possible with limited use of material.
The innovative folding mechanism, protected besides others by the German Patent and Trademark office (DPMA), saves more than a third of weight compared to commercially available competitive packaging.

In a supply chain, the CO2 footprint strongly depends on the mode of transportation. Train or truck makes a difference.
Data on the fuel consumption of trucks differ greatly. For vehicles with a total weight of 25 t, a consumption of 30-40 l per 100 km is not unrealistic.
The corresponding CO2 Emissions per 100 km correspond to 88-117 kg. Simply by avoiding trips that are no longer necessary, CO2 emissions get reduced by up to 70%.
We will be pleased to support you in the quantification for your application.
