The White Company invests in Quadient online packaging system

Quadient’s automated packaging system, CVP Everest, has been selected by The White Company, and will be installed in August at its fulfilment centre in Northampton, UK.

It’s the first commercial installation of the technology since its January launch.

Rob Gascoigne, DC Continuous Improvement Manager at The White Company, says: “To meet the uplift in e-commerce order volumes and to efficiently comply with new health and safety requirements brought on by the onset of the coronavirus, we decided to invest in an automated packaging technology that could not only deliver speed, but importantly, would present a sustainable packaging solution for the future.”

According to a press release, CVP Everest “measures, constructs, seals and labels each parcel in a seamless process – reducing package volumes by up to 50%, cutting cardboard usage by 20% and eliminating the need for void fill.”

“As it makes each package specifically to the size of the individual order, the customer experience is enhanced and trailer volumes are massively reduced – saving transport costs and CO2 emissions.”
