Infographic: Your packaging passed every lab test. Then it met the Middle East. A truck in desert dust, a carton marked Protecting what matters most, a loaded dhow and a container of loosely loaded cartons. The Middle East packaging reality: 1 extreme heat, humidity and UV; 2 fine dust penetrates everything; 3 longer exposure, longer journeys; 4 the dhow test; 5 loose loading is the norm; 6 shrinkage costs real; 7 counterfeiting is real; 8 many markets, many rules; 9 supply continuity over perfection.

Resolution

Solutions developed for the environment in which the package is produced, transported, stored and sold.
