Replacing plastic shaving stick packaging with weldable paper
Edgewell wants to be sustainable in the packaging of its disposable shavers, which are very bulky in shape, and reduce the use of plastic components, while at the same time using the packaging to attract consumers in stores. Edgewell solved this challenge by partnering with OTK printing & packaging and weldable paper manufacturer Koehler. The result is a sustainable and eye-catching package based on Koehler NexPlus Seal Pure material that can wrap a variety of shavers and shaving configurations. The packaging has successfully passed quality tests such as drop tests, environmental tests and shipping tests. Jan Vorlicek, packaging manager at Edgewell, and Michal Uher, managing director of OTK printing & packaging, will present how the idea, design, and production of this packaging came about and whether paper is the best choice.
