NabiAce Product Lineup

By using Nabiece Co., Ltd.'s reinforced cardboard "Nabiece," you can be freed from using wooden pallets! For example, we can package items like this: a "piano." We received feedback from a musical instrument manufacturer saying, "Since other companies couldn't do it, we would like to request your help." After several years of testing and verification, we achieved the industry's first all-cardboard packaging for pianos. (According to Nabiece's research) 【Packaging Design Conditions】 ■ Weight of one unit: 300kg ■ Delicate painted surface, no contact allowed ■ Storage: stacked three high ■ Equipped with casters, partial load Due to these characteristics, all-cardboard packaging was considered impossible. However, we cleared these issues with our packaging design utilizing "Nabiece"!! 【Results】 ■ Reduction in packaging material weight ■ Reduction in the number of parts ■ Reduction in workforce ■ Improvement in recyclability ■ Reduction in material costs ■ Reduction in total logistics costs By adopting the cardboard pallet "Nabipallet," we achieved a significant reduction in total logistics costs. *For more details, please check the catalog download.

By using the reinforced cardboard "Naviace" from Naviace Co., Ltd., you can package even such items. This time... a "large copier." 【Before Improvement】 ■ Thick plywood wooden pallet ■ Metal fasteners for securing the main body ■ Foam polyethylene for cushioning ■ Outer box made of cardboard 【Development Issues】 ■ The pallet is heavy, requiring improvement in packaging workability ■ Separation required for disposal ■ Weighs 600 kg ■ Localized load with casters ■ It is precision machinery and vulnerable to shocks ■ Unloading requires casters 【Results】 ■ Reduction in packaging material weight ■ Reduction in types and quantities of parts ■ Reduction in types of materials ■ Improvement in disposability ■ Improvement in recyclability ■ Reduction in material costs ■ Reduction in total logistics costs The adoption of the cardboard pallet "Navi Pallet" has achieved a significant reduction in total logistics costs. *For more details, please check the catalog download.

In 2009, awarded the highest honor "Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award" at the Japan Packaging Contest. Because of the reinforced cardboard "Navi Ace," it has outstanding strength! By supporting/fixing heavy objects weighing over 100 kg with just a small area, we were able to significantly improve transportation efficiency. 【Before Improvement】 - Shipped in cardboard cases with six legs each - The cases were large A-type (0201 type), requiring labor for taping and palletizing, and needing a wide workspace and storage area - Not suitable for mass transportation 【Improvement Goals】 1. Reduce overseas logistics costs by improving loading efficiency 2. Packaging and transportation in a stacked (high stacking) state 3. Compliance with environmental regulations and recyclability in exports 【After Improvement】 1. Reduced the number of necessary containers from 3 to 1 (from 540 legs per container to 1600 legs) 2. Thoroughly verified and optimized the ground angle of the base made of reinforced cardboard and the chair itself 3. Since everything, including the pallet, is made of cardboard, it meets export regulations and recyclability requirements 【Improvement Effects】 Number of necessary containers... Reduced by 67% Storage space... Reduced by 48% Working time... Reduced by 37% Packaging weight... Reduced by 41% Overseas logistics costs... Reduced by 33% Total cost... Reduced by 55%

We would like to introduce a case study on packaging improvements using reinforced cardboard "Navi Ace." Maruyama Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer that primarily produces and sells power sprayers. When exporting their "self-propelled remote-controlled power sprayer" to South Korea, we proposed packaging that allows for overseas transportation, contributing to efficiency and the achievement of SDGs. [Challenges] × Use of wood required fumigation treatment and disposal of industrial waste at the destination × Simple packaging in Japan made stacking impossible × Separate packaging of accessory parts posed risks of damage and loss during transportation In response, we proposed "all cardboard packaging." [Improvements] ◎ Eliminated wood by using Navi pallets with laminated materials to support products weighing 160 kg with wheels ◎ Achieved high-efficiency loading with strength that can withstand three layers of stacking ◎ Innovated the shape for securing products, reducing packaging materials by placing parts in dividers ◎ Enabled secure fixing with wheel stoppers with laminated materials, improving efficiency As a result of this initiative, we received the Large and Heavy Goods Packaging Division Award at the "Japan Packaging Contest 2020." *For more details, please refer to the materials. We are also offering a "case study collection" that introduces other improvement examples.

In the 2019 Japan Packaging Contest, we received the Japan Star Award "Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Manufacturing Industry Bureau Director Award"! We successfully transformed the wooden frame packaging used for heavy shipments at Daikin Industries into all cardboard! We achieved the long-standing challenge of "eliminating wood" that had persisted for 40 years! 【Before Improvement】 - All packaging used wood (fumigated products). - A dedicated craftsman was required for wooden frame assembly. - The aging of these dedicated craftsmen and the shortage of labor became a serious issue. 【Improvement Goals】 1. Make it a specification that anyone can handle. 2. Reduce the weight of wooden frame packaging. 3. Reduce total logistics costs. 【After Improvement】 1. All cardboard packaging (achieving ease of assembly, unpacking, and disposal). 2. Clear three-tier stacking. 3. Four-way entry pallets compatible with electric hand trucks. 【Improvement Effects】 Elimination of wood… 100% reduction Dedicated workers… 100% reduction Packaging time… 67% reduction Packaging material weight… 50% reduction Total cost… 20% reduction ⇒ For more details, please download the catalog.

In the 2021 Japan Packaging Contest, we received the award for the "Large and Heavy Goods Packaging Category"! With the mass production of battery parts at Kyocera, there was a need for packaging that is easier to pack and store. We also achieved a reduction in CO2 emissions, contributing to the realization of a sustainable society! 【Before Improvement】 - Packaging using multiple auxiliary materials. → Increased material storage costs. - Not a standardized packaging form. → Increased packaging time due to reliance on workers. - Not compatible with the manufacturing line. → Increased personnel due to the need for setup work. 【Improvement Goals】 1. Standardization of parts 2. Efficiency in work processes 3. Adaptation to mass production 【After Improvement】 1. Reduced the number of packaging material types from seven to one 2. Consolidated packaging patterns into three forms 3. Improved workability with dimensions compatible with the manufacturing line 【Improvement Effects】 Workforce … Reduced by 60% Standardization … Reduced by 80% Packaging form … 100% achieved Packaging weight/PL … Reduced by 50% Annual CO2 emissions … Reduced by 65% Total logistics costs … Reduced by 40% ⇒ For more details, please download the catalog.
