Vanden Borre, the specialist in TV, video, hi-fi, electro, multimedia and mobile phones, was looking for light and reusable packaging for the transport of televisions throughout Belgium.
Vanden Borre is a leading company in the sale of audio, TV, multimedia and household electronics, with 73 stores throughout Belgium. They offer various services, including a repair service for televisions. If a repair at home is not possible, Vanden Borre will collect the screen for repair in its own repair center and place a temporary television at the customer.
The televisions are transported using transport packaging that fits in a van. The technician or employee of the transport company must lift the box on 1 side of the van. Then the other side of the box can be lifted up and slid into the van. The wooden transport boxes they used for this were impractical and very heavy. In order to relieve the employees as much as possible, Vanden Borre went in search of new reusable transport packaging.
Light weight and ergonomic
Handling must be as pleasant as possible for Vanden Borre employees. The weight of the packaging plays an important role in this. This makes it logical to choose a flight case with the light sheet material Aircell. This plastic plate is many times lighter than wood, completely smooth and yet strong thanks to the internal honeycomb construction.
In addition to weight, user comfort is also important. To be able to get the flight case in and out of the van properly, it is equipped with 2 fixed and 2 swivel wheels. By means of the handles on both ends, the light flight case can be steered and lifted with one hand. Once at its destination, the front panel can be completely removed after opening the 4 locks. The TV screen can then be easily placed in or out of the flight case.
Can be used for different screen sizes
Thanks to the one-size-fits-all principle, the flight case can be used for televisions from 32 inches to 65 inches. The tactically placed tension straps are adjustable, so that they always fit around the television, regardless of its size.
Good protection against shocks and bumps
The thin screens are very sensitive to damage. To protect this, the inside of the flight case is equipped with a foam interior and tension straps. This way, the screen stays in place during transport and is protected against shocks from, for example, thresholds. In addition, Engels has supplied tailor-made textile covers. These are slid over the screens before they are placed in the flight case.
Solid packaging, also for transport by an external carrier
By using durable materials and components, both the packaging and the contents can take a beating. This way, the transport is in good hands, regardless of whether Vanden Borre or an external carrier transports the TV screen.
If the packaging has reached the end of its life and repair is not possible, then both the aluminum parts and the plastic panels can be completely recycled into a new product. This makes the reusable flight case a sustainable choice.
