The TopLock Box is a 100 percent plastic-free solution made entirely from FSC certified paper-based packaging, which is renewable, recyclable and biodegradable. It has significant environmental benefits and offers a 40 percent carbon footprint reduction in comparison to the traditional rigid plastic alternatives. The box, which is leak proof, is delivered as a flat, single item creating inbound logistics and storage savings. The dimensions of the pack can also be tailored to increase supply chain efficiency. Arco Berkenbosch, Vice President of Innovation and Development, Smurfit Kappa, said, “We are delighted to introduce our newest child-proof packaging solution to the market. Our innovation team has worked tirelessly to develop a brilliant solution that has the potential to be used for other products that need to be kept out of reach of children like, for example, medication. We have created an adaptable and flexible solution that can increase the efficiency of our customers’ supply chains which ultimately helps them achieve their sustainability and business goals and creates a fantastic consumer experience.” The TopLock Box is the sister packaging solution of Smurfit Kappa’s Click-to-Lock Pods Box, which was launched last year.
