Cromwell’s Gusset Depth Supports Customer Sustainability Goals

Cromwell are continually seeking ways to improve efficiency and sustainability across our product range. We’re pleased to share an important update that reflects our ongoing commitment to environmentally responsible packaging solutions.

Optimising packaging with gusset depth adjustments

Over the next 12 months, we will be adjusting the gusset depth on selected stock items to enhance the efficiency of packaging for flat-packed products.

The first product to benefit from this update is our BK090C1 line, and the adjustment will be gradually introduced across additional product lines throughout the coming year.

What does this mean for customers?

These packaging refinements are designed to deliver both operational and environmental benefits, with no compromise to the quality or capacity of the products you rely on. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Smaller cartons: Thanks to the reduced gusset depth, you’ll notice a smaller box size for selected items.
  • Same product performance: The size, strength, and capacity of the bags remain exactly the same—only the way they are packed is changing.
  • Improved sustainability metrics:
    • Approximately 12.5% reduction in carton weight
    • Approximately 20% increase in pallet quantities
    • Fewer shipments required = lower carbon footprint

Supporting Our Shared Sustainability Goals

By improving packaging efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of our logistics, these changes contribute to a more sustainable future. Whether you are ordering for a business or managing storage on site, these improvements offer practical and environmental benefits.

If you have any questions about how this update may affect your orders or storage, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
