Pampers Knifeless Opening Box<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that many eCommerce goods are packaged in a cardboard box taped on the top and bottom. But the use of tape creates two problems: using scissors to open the box is \u201ca top tension\u201d for our baby care consumers, and that residual tape on the box contaminates the paper recycling stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Pampers<\/a> team introduced a Knifeless Opening Box featuring two ‘push-and-pull’ perforated tabs, intentionally crafted to maximize user experience while minimizing manufacturing complexity and cost. Our Pampers innovation is a Gold Winner at the Dow Packaging Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
