Environmentally sound and cost-efficient

There are several benefits to choosing the Boardio system for your products. Flat delivery and an optimal use of material makes Boardio both environmentally sound and cost-efficient. Compared to glass jars, plastic tubs and metal containers such as tin cans, which are delivered empty, the Boardio packaging reduces incoming goods with up to 95% simply by being delivered flat. Hence, not only the CO2 emissions and costs from transport by truck but also all the related handling and storage costs are reduced correspondingly. A fully utilized line, producing 30-40 million packs annually, can easily save the environment 500 tons of CO2 and save the producer several hundreds of work hours.

Boardio® , Sealio® , and Cekacan® systems are developed and manufactured by AR Packaging Systems AB, headquartered in Sweden.
