扁平酒瓶让包装更省空间 As many as 10 bottles of wine could be sent in the same-size box that would fit just four, saving on packaging and protecting the environment. Eight letterbox-sized bottles containing the standard amount of wine as regular bottles are stacked vertically* and horizontally* into a unique box. This gives firms 55 percent more space to work with and halves the number of trucks needed for transport. The system is the creation of London-based firm Garcon Wines, who launched it at Packaging Innovations Birmingham 2019. If 50,000 wine bottles are ordered in these boxes, Garcon wine estimates, only two trucks would be needed to transport them, instead of five. This would cut carbon emissions* and costs. The bottles, made from recycled material, are also lighter than a regular bottle. Garcon Wines’ letterbox-sized wine bottle was launched in 2017 to great interest from customers and consumers.(SD-Agencies) |
