Proposal for improving labor conditions with packaging materials (SDGs labor environment improvement) *Moving away from nail driving
Reducing the labor burden on elderly silver workers through cardboard conversion. No need for nails or bolts, and with lightweight packaging, anyone, including women, can handle packing! Towards a company that is friendly to workers.
This is a case study of improvement at a company that was relying on elderly silver workers for packaging tasks. Currently, silver workers were assembling wooden pallets (wooden geta) using purchased lumber. We received feedback that: - Securing personnel is difficult. - Considering environmental impact, we would like to minimize the use of wood. Based on this feedback, we began the design process. [Reasons for not transitioning to cardboard] It seems that there had been a top-down goal to eliminate the use of wood for some time, but progress towards complete cardboard conversion was slow. - Currently, products were fixed to the wooden geta with bolts. Since cardboard cannot be secured with bolts, they hesitated to proceed. - They could not find a cardboard manufacturer that could meet these requirements. [Improvements made] - No need for nails or bolts. - Lightweight packaging. - Elimination of label application (printing directly on the packaging). ↓ ↓ - Anyone can package. - Simplified disposal for the end-user (from industrial waste to old paper recycling). - Reduction in air freight costs. By simply replacing wood with cardboard, various benefits arise! ↓↓ For more details, we would appreciate it if you could download the materials below and contact us. ↓↓

basic information
【Our Proposal】 Based on the proposal for material improvement from wood to cardboard, we have various achievements in the following areas: - CO2 reduction (reduction of environmental impact) - Improvement of labor environment - Mitigation of human resource risks - Reduction of total logistics costs - Lightweight packaging We would be honored if you could consult us if you have any concerns. 【Quality and Safety】 - Since production is entirely in-house and domestically sourced, we can deliver with stable quality. Additionally, delays in delivery are almost nonexistent. - Our products are completely custom-made and designed with safety in mind. We also support in-house testing and transportation tests at your facility, so you can feel assured. However, please understand that we cannot sell products unless our design department deems them "pass" based on their evaluation. 【Main Contents】 - Engines - Motors - Compressors - Special films - Automotive parts - Other heavy products - Semi-finished products for inter-factory transport etc. ● Considering production efficiency and delivery efficiency, single-item processing may lead to increased costs. If you could consider a consolidated quantity (30 units or more), it would be easier to present benefits. ● Molds may be required for production.

Company information
◆Reinforced cardboard "Navi Ace" ◆Cardboard pallet "Navi Palette" We propose solutions to improve logistics challenges. 【Features】 ~90% of the raw materials are recycled paper~ - Lower CO2 emissions compared to other materials - Higher recyclability than other materials This contributes to carbon neutrality. ~Can be processed using the same methods as regular cardboard~ - Superior processability compared to other materials This allows for custom designs tailored to the contents, thereby improving logistics efficiency and contributing to cost reductions such as transportation expenses. *Other materials = wood, iron and steel, plastic resin, paper tubes, etc. Additionally, we established and relocated our manufacturing base in 2023, expanding our production scale. - Smoother deliveries across the Kanto region - Enhanced quality with new equipment - Production facilities that consider both the global environment and labor conditions - Doubling production capacity allows for the creation of packaging for heavier and more complex products. *As of September 2023, we changed our company name from Fukuno Cardboard Industry to Navi Ace Kanto.
