Kebab meets cartonboard: no more plastic on the skewer!
When it comes to specific cartonboard solutions, ENGELKARTON, as a family-run company 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, plastic discs were used to protect the skewers during storage and transport and were attached above and below the meat block. The problem: the plastic discs were expensive to produce and had to be disposed of as hazardous waste after use, which caused additional costs.
The idea: a protective disc made of cartonboard that is resistant to both freezing- and grease - and can simply be disposed of in wastepaper after use.
Thanks to our experience, knowledge of materials and a well-established network, we were able to develop exactly that: A specially coated cartonboard disc 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 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 cartonboard can be.
We look forward to your inquiry!
