The end of plastic and polystyrene in concert light packaging

The end of plastic and polystyrene in concert light packaging

ROBE Lighting manufactures and exports lights and spotlights that illuminate concerts, cinemas, and theaters around the world. Their products appear at the biggest events. ROBE was commissioned to create a packaging for shipping lights that would replace plastic and polystyrene fillings with an environmentally friendly alternative, while reliably protecting lights worth tens to hundreds of thousands of crowns from damage. This task was challenging because of the wide range of light types and their variants, the low production volumes, which limited the possibilities of using high-volume technologies, and the need for easy adaptability in case of a change in the light shape. The resulting product also had to deliver savings in logistics and storage. Development was not easy, but in the end a fixing solution was created that outperformed the original variants, is environmentally friendly and all parts are FSC certified. All this was achieved through the use of digital technologies, including printing.
