Kebab meets cardboard: no more plastic on the skewer!
When it comes to special solutions in the cardboard sector, Engelkarton, as a family business with over 75 years of experience, is a sought-after partner - not only in traditional areas, but also where you might not expect it at first glance: kebab skewers.
A wholesaler of frozen kebab skewers operating throughout Germany approached us with a clear request: until now, the skewers were delivered with plastic discs attached above and below the meat block to protect them during storage and transportation. The problem: the plastic disks were expensive to produce and had to be disposed of as hazardous waste after use, which caused additional costs.
The idea: aprotective screen made of cardboard that is both freeze- and grease-resistant - and can simply be disposed of in waste paper after use.
Thanks to our experience, knowledge of materials and a well-established network, we were able to develop just that: A specially coated cardboard disk that meets the requirements in terms of cold, grease and stability - and is significantly cheaper than the previous plastic solution.
The result: a win-win-win situation. For our customer, who not only saves costs, but can also position himself more sustainably. For the environment, as there is no plastic waste. And for us as Engelkarton - because we were once again able to show how versatile cardboard can be.
We look forward to your inquiry!
