[Case Study] Resolving issues caused by direct storage with "one type of tray"

Minimize mold costs and management man-hours with shared tray design!

We will introduce a case where the introduction of vacuum-formed trays solved the issue of product defects. Before the introduction, products were placed directly in containers and stacked for long-term storage, which led to deformation issues. Additionally, since the products were not secured in the containers, they moved during transportation, resulting in defects such as scratches. There was also a challenge with occupying space due to the storage of multiple types of similar products. The introduction of vacuum-formed trays eliminated direct placement. Products are now secured within the containers, eliminating defects such as scratches and deformation during storage and transportation. We combined the distinctive shapes of multiple types of products to allow them to be used with a single tray shape. The shared tray can accommodate eight types of products, including symmetrical ones. **Key Points of Introduction** 1. By changing the storage method from direct placement in containers to vacuum-formed trays, we prevent defects caused by friction between boxes and products, as well as dirt from the boxes adhering to the products. 2. By using a shared tray, products that could not be stacked in storage boxes due to different shapes can now be stacked, leading to improved storage efficiency and enhanced transportation loading efficiency.
