Smurfit Kappa designs innovative eCommerce packaging for Latin American egg provider
July 3, 2019
Smurfit Kappa has used its eSmart service to enable
the leading Latin American egg provider to successfully enter the eCommerce
channel.
Granja Mantiqueira decided to launch a new ‘Egg Club’ through which consumers
could order eggs online for home delivery in Brazil. Aware that packaging plays
a critically important role for the eCommerce channel, especially for a product
as fragile as eggs, the company tasked Smurfit Kappa to come up with a
solution.
The packaging leader tapped into the expertise and experience of its eSmart
service to identify a packaging concept that would both protect the product and
drive sales growth. An attractively designed pack was created to promote both
the Egg Club and the Mantiquiera brand, alongside creating a positive consumer
experience.
Styled like a briefcase with handles for carrying, the packaging keeps the eggs
fresh and secure throughout the supply chain. It is also attractive from a
sustainability perspective because more packs can be shipped during
transportation and it is 100% recyclable, biodegradable and renewable.
Speaking about the innovative new product, Leandro Pinto, Founding Partner of
the Mantiquiera Group, said: “We identified a big interest for this idea of
receiving eggs at home, so we decided to offer an additional channel to consumers
who are looking for a more practical solution for their daily lives.
“Smurfit Kappa worked with us to come up with a sustainable packaging solution
which delivered against a number of briefs including emphasising the premium
quality of the eggs.”
