Paardekooper and Elis develop reusable shipping box for safety clothing
Elis specialises in the rental, cleaning and repair of industrial and safety clothing. Under the name 'Product as a Service' the company takes care of the delivery of clean clothing and the collection of dirty clothing. Returned clothing is professionally cleaned and redelivered after final inspection. This is usually done at the company site, but Elis is increasingly being asked if the clothing can be delivered to the homes of employees. For this, Elis developed a new, reusable shipping solution in collaboration with Paardekooper.
“With the reusable shipping box, we are responding to the changing market demand for a more flexible logistics solution for our services."

This is usually done at the company site, but Elis is increasingly being asked if the clothing can be delivered to the homes of employees. For this, Elis developed a new, reusable shipping solution in collaboration with Paardekooper.
“With the reusable shipping box, we are responding to the changing market demand for a more flexible logistics solution for our services."
Circular business model
"Our business model is based on circularity, even way before a circular economy became the new standard," says Marian Verbruggen, Manager Service Department at Elis Netherlands "We offer most of our safety clothing for rental. We take care of cleaning, maintenance and any repairs or replacement ourselves. This way we keep the clothing in perfect condition, it lasts longer and its protective function remains guaranteed, in accordance with the applicable standards. This can be life-saving in specific situations. For example, our customers work with high-voltage or chemical agents."No cardboard box
"You soon end up with existing solutions, such as a cardboardshipping box," adds Marian. "But we were looking for a reusable solution. This suits our circular business model. Besides, we don't want to burden our customers' employees with large cardboard boxes that are in the way somewhere at home in the hallway. So it had to be reusable but also compact, foldable and user-friendly. Something like a foldable cooler bag..." With this idea, Paardekooper's creative team set to work .
"It's great to see how a type of packaging becomes more and more one's own and is constantly being perfected."
Collaboration
Yuri Huisman, key account manager at Paardekooper says: "It's fantastic that Elis wanted to pick up this process with us. It is a constructive process that is very educational and valuable for all parties involved. In collaboration with our suppliers we first collected examples for inspiration. We presented these to Elis and on this basis we chose a direction. Within these 'frameworks' we worked out different options in more detail. "We started generally and went more and more into the depth," says Daan. "It's great to see how at type of packaging becomes more and more of its own becomes more and more perfected. Paardekooper thinks along very well with us in this process. For example, the idea of the text on the box comes from Paardekooper. This makes the bag less interesting to use for other purposes. Of course we want to avoid this. On Paardekooper's advice, we also opted for a heavier quality zip, so that the shipping box will last extra long.”
In practice
The first version of the shipping box was tested at one of the parcel services. "Based of this, we made a few more minor adjustments," Marian says. "Over the coming months, the reusable shipping box will be deployed at our customers. From this points for improvement are bound to emerge, but the first big step towards a reusable shipping solution has been made. With this, we are responding to the changing market demand for a more flexible delivery and collection process and this suits our company. I hope that we can further roll out this success story together with Paardekooper.
