Challenge
Bostik Philippines required: A paper packaging option for their mortar brands, transitioning away from Polypropylene (PP) woven bags, while maintaining strength compared to the previous woven option
A packaging supplier that aligns with Bostik’s sustainability, quality and supply chain standards
Can provide high quality printed products, to maintain consistency with the wider range.
Solution
Detpak worked with Bostik to develop a sustainable paper packaging solution that did not impact product quality or packaging strength, due to the heavy weight of the mortar it must hold
Trialling artwork on flexographic print, to ensure adherence to the Bostik print guideline, including bringing the Bostik team to Detpak’s Phillipines manufacturing plant for collaboration and approvals
Completing trials on various sizes, as well as drop tests to ensure consistent and sufficient bag strength and functionality.
Results
Detpak now provides packaging for 100% of Bostik’s top two mortar brands in the Philippines, , helping Bostik to maintain brand image through premium printing that is in line with Bostik’s wider product range
Although the journey of development has been long and tough, Detpak has been persistent and dedicated on satisfying our requirements.” – Tezza Postrado, Procurement Manager - Bostik
