LOGISTICS FOR THE PACKAGING INDUSTRY
with warehousing and contract logistics services. We also organize just-in-time deliveries, tailored to production schedules and the ongoing needs of your business.
Logistics that supports the continuity of your production
In the packaging industry, predictable transportation is essential for production planning, inventory management, and the timely fulfillment of orders.
That is why we combine industry expertise with flexible transport planning, organizing both Full Truck Load (FTL) and Less Than Truck Load (LTL) shipments. We tailor our logistics solutions to the size of your deliveries, production schedules, and your company’s changing demand, ensuring reliable and efficient supply chain operations.
Paper bales, rolls, and sheets of paper and cardboard require proper cargo space planning. When organizing transportation, we take into account the dimensions, loading configuration, and securing methods of the materials to ensure efficient and safe transport.
Bottles, containers, and other plastic packaging products vary in shape, dimensions, and resistance to pressure. Based on these characteristics, we plan cargo placement and securing methods, adapting the transport process to the specific requirements of each product.
Glass packaging requires special care due to the risk of breakage. When planning transportation, we focus on cargo stability, proper securing methods, and suitable loading and unloading conditions to ensure safe and efficient delivery.
Metal packaging, including cans, can take up a significant amount of space relative to their weight. Therefore, when planning transportation, we analyze cargo volume, packaging methods, and opportunities to optimize the use of transport capacity, ensuring efficient and cost-effective delivery.
We understand the specific requirements of the packaging Industry
Paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, and metal all have different properties, which is why their transportation and storage require the right approach. When planning logistics operations, we take into account the type of product, packaging method, and cargo specifications to ensure safe and efficient handling throughout the supply chain.

Efficient use of transport space
In packaging transportation, not only the weight of the goods matters, but also their volume. When planning shipments, we take cargo dimensions and cubic capacity into account, selecting the most suitable vehicle to ensure optimal use of available transport space.
We operate a fleet of more than 420 vehicles, including high-volume trailers designed for large-scale shipments:
- JUMBO – up to 120 m³
- MEGA – up to 100 m³
Constant monitoring of the delivery process
In the packaging industry, transport reliability is essential for effective production planning and operational efficiency. We use GPS tracking, telematics, and advanced IT systems to monitor vehicle locations and oversee every stage of the transportation process.
This provides greater visibility into shipment status, helping to improve delivery coordination and enabling faster responses to any changes or challenges along the route.
Safety starts before loading
Well-planned transportation involves more than selecting the right route. It also requires careful consideration of the cargo’s characteristics and the handling requirements associated with it.
When organizing transport, we pay close attention to:
- proper cargo preparation and securing,
- selection of the most suitable vehicle,
- protection against weather conditions,
- loading and unloading requirements,
- load stability and effective securing during transit.
For glass, paper, and other sensitive materials, we tailor cargo protection methods to the specific characteristics of the shipment, helping to preserve product quality throughout every stage of transportation.
Every industry has its own requirements. We tailor our logistics solutions to what truly matters for your business.

Case Study
Packaging Deliveries for a Pet Food Manufacturer
3–4 deliveries per week, 24/7 availability, system operating for 3 years
Challenge
A pet food manufacturer operates a high-volume production line in an older facility with limited space for storing empty cans and lids. An additional challenge was managing deliveries of packaging in various sizes from three different locations while ensuring the efficient collection of empty pallets without disrupting production.
Our solution
After a site visit and consultations with the plant’s staff, we developed a delivery system based on jumbo vehicle combinations with interchangeable BDF containers. We utilized three unloading ramps and outdoor storage areas to create additional warehouse space. Two containers were designated for cans and lids, another for empty pallets, and an additional container served as a buffer stock in case of delays. The interchangeable containers provide 24/7 site access and enable efficient handling of emergency deliveries.
Results
Approximately 3–4 deliveries per week, based on the customer’s demand. Additional storage capacity without expanding the facility. Buffer stock ensuring uninterrupted production continuity. 24/7 delivery availability and efficient handling of emergency situations. Collection of empty pallets coordinated with the organization of subsequent shipments. A system operating reliably for 3 years.
