Is compliance with Amazon’s
Frustration-Free Packaging (FFP)
Vendor Incentive Program baffling you?
Get Help Here……
Everything you need to know
about cardboard box performance, production, design, testing for eCommerce
and replacing plastic packaging
Will it pass an ISTA (International Safe Transit Authority) or Amazon 6A FFP or SIOC (Ships in own container)
Often you’ll get what someone thinks is the design to use but probably haven’t thought too much about the Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging (FFP) Vendor Incentive Program or even proper protection, delighting the customer, disposal or production costs.
If you’re not sure your pack will pass one of Amazon’s ISTA tests then see how we can save you a four figure £ sum by being a three figure % sure it can.
Using our e-PPAD test system we can help establish if it will pass and if not we assist in design changes.
The Big Challenge
One Box, Two UsesRRP & Omnichannel
Where do you start?Oh Boy, is this keeping you awake at night?
Well its no longer just about the shelf.
Lots of companies are now looking for their packaging to ideally be one box for two channels, RRP and e-commerce.
This of course presents a big challenge and probably the most stress to any packaging techies, marketing or procurement teams. Not to mention the packing line management..
However, based on recent personal experience, it is possible to achieve but clearly there has to be compromises.
Its ok using BCT for the RRP but it doesn’t help when it gets a lawn mower dropped on it in the back of a truck or van when out for delivery to someone’s house.
Some of the solutions are groundbreaking.
As An Independent This Is How I Work With You
Well, without looking like a CV here is a small list of skills and help I can offer.
Apart from all the ISTA stuff I can also help:

- If you’re a boxmaker and your Design resource is overwhelmed, help is always on hand for those who ask for it, as they say!!!
- I have a CAD ( Impact ) and my own cutting table. So prototyping and checking the fit is easy.
- I’ve been an independent designer for nearly 20 years and have 49 years of experience in total with differing types of box businesses.
- I am very commercially savvy, so as cost and pricing is very important in todays business climate I’m not just a Designer..
Having recently done nearly 6 years in one of the two biggest European box businesses I have a lot to offer from the big world of packaging, particularly as I set up the e-Pack Packright DISCS test lab in MK.
Designing for conversion machinery is more important than ever, I can transform a design teams thinking and direction.
Training is something designers today do not seem to get much of.. I can help with that too.
Why a Millimetre is so Important
RETAIL READY PACKS ..Ship More To Store!!!!!!!!Find the optimised pack and retain cash if you’re a producer and supplier to the retail world
These boxes do not fill the pallet area well because the bottle isn't the right size
However, by adjusting the bottle size by a few millimetres and keeping the same capacity, you can now get 20% more on the same pallet
Are you sure your bottles or cartons are the right size?
If you’re changing the size due to new plastic materials etc, now’s your chance to optimise your boxes and pallet volumes.
