E-Commerce Packaging Solutions

Consumer demand for convenience and single-use products continues to grow. At the same time, they want to minimize waste and are choosing more socially responsible products. 

The rapidly growing e-commerce trade requires efficient automation processes at fulfillment centers, whilst minimizing void fill. 

One solution is creating on-demand packaging with the use of a pre-treated and customized paper. These papers are equipped with a water-based heat seal coating, which is applied during the paper manufacturing process. At the fulfillment center the heat seal coating is activated, creating a perfect bond and tamper evident right-sized packaging structure. Gone are the times of manual packing and overpackaging, as Henkel’s pre-applied heat seal coatings enable reliable, high-performance automated packaging.

The coated paper is designed to fully comply with the defined requirements of the fulfillment center and has been shown to be recyclable in paper recycling mills.

Valuable items which are shipped in paper mailers or cardboard boxes need to be protected properly from theft and package tampering. E-tailers want to provide their customers with the best possible unboxing experience and easy and reliable opening of packaging is a must. Our TECHNOMELT^® pressure sensitive and side seam adhesives generate a strong fiber tear, which ensures that e-commerce products reach customers safely. Neither a premature opening of the side seam, nor of the closing flap will go unnoticed in the supply chain. The PSA adhesives can be used with commonly used application equipment and withstand the extreme temperature demands at fulfillment and distribution centers.
