This week, we offer an engaging dialogue with Tom Taylor, Sales Manager of Transport Packaging for Fresh Produce at NNZ USA. He is widely recognized for his expertise in onion transport packaging. We asked Tom to give us some insight into the innovations NNZ is implementing in this sector.
Tom Taylor: At NNZ, we focus on practical and sustainable solutions for transport packaging. One of our recent innovations is the use of automated tagging. This technique allows us to apply detailed information directly onto the packaging, improving both efficiency and traceability.
How does this contribute to logistical processes?
The automated tagging technique offers several advantages for mesh bags. It’s a quick and accurate way to apply information such as origin, destination, and contents on the packaging. This not only facilitates logistics but also enhances the traceability of the product throughout the supply chain.
You mentioned efficiency. How does NNZ integrate this into transport packaging?
Efficiency is a fundamental aspect of our business processes. We aim to provide materials that allow our customers to operate as efficiently as possible. As they say, time is money and we aim to ensure our customers’ time is used as effectively as possible. This includes not having to worry about packaging because they know NNZ has their back.
What challenges do you encounter in designing these packages?
One of the biggest challenges is finding the right balance between functionality and sustainability. The packaging must be sturdy enough to protect the onions but also light and easy to handle in the logistical chain. Moreover, we need to meet food safety standards, which requires a constant balancing act between material choice and design.
Finally, what advice would you give to companies looking for efficient transport packaging for onions?
It’s important to choose a partner who not only provides quality products but also understands the specific needs of the agro-sector. At NNZ, we strive to be that partner, providing our clients with packaging that enhances both the quality of the product and the efficiency of the supply chain.
