Kyocera earns recognition for innovative packaging
January 28, 2025
Kyocera Document Solutions Inc. announced that its product packaging for multifunction products (MFPs) and printers won the “WORLDSTAR 2025” award at the WORLDSTAR GLOBAL PACKAGING AWARDS organised by the World Packaging Organisation.
The WORLDSTAR GLOBAL PACKAGING AWARDS is a contest sponsored by the World Packaging Organisation, an international organisation in the packaging field, who awards packages evaluated to be of high technology and outstanding design. Packages that have won awards in packaging contests around the world are eligible to enter these awards and then are judged based on various criteria and selected to receive this prestigious award.
The award-winning “Karugaru Joint” contributed to efficiency in the packaging field by solving four issues: (1) reducing the force required for removal by allowing anyone to understand how to remove the joint, (2) reducing the space required for transport loading (67% less than conventional products), (3) supporting automation in assembly, and (4) reducing CO2 emissions in production and logistics.
By making the joint parts stackable, it is possible to pack a large number of joint parts into a shipping box, eliminating wasted space and greatly improving shipping efficiency. This has greatly improved transportation efficiency and has also greatly contributed to the reduction of CO2 emissions during transportation.
Joint parts can also now be delivered to the factory stacked on top of each other, making it easier to remove parts. This allows assembly to be automated.
