Peel-and-seal to the rescue

摘要

Once in a while you come across a story and this thought crosses your mind: These guys may have actually helped to save the world. If you think that's a bit brash, when was the last time you tried to open a package of Double A or Triple A batteries? How long did it take? How many sharp implements of destruction did you use? Did you wonder if all this packaging was really necessary? And finally, what would you do if you ever met the designers of this package? We've all been there. Unless of course, you just opened up a package of batteries with peel-and-seal technology. If that's the case, you want to know how DHL's packaging group helped get this product to market. Yes, you read that right. Turns out DHL doesn't just deliver packages. It also has an extensive packaging operation with more than 40 sites across North America. While the majority is secondary packaging (reworking store displays and trays, for instance), there is also a primary packaging capability here. That's where the peel-and-seal story starts.
