Matsmart

Optimized packaging minimized unnecessary air in deliveries, improved packing efficiency, and reduced climate impact.

Matsmart is a purpose-driven company and food rescue retailer that ensures perfectly edible food doesn’t go to waste. By offering customers products with short or expired best-before dates, seasonal items, surplus stock, and products with minor cosmetic defects, they help create a more sustainable food industry. Their business model supports the UN’s global sustainability goal 12.3 – to reduce food waste by 50% by 2030.

They make it easy for their customers to shop for affordable products while reducing their climate footprint. By saving food that would otherwise be discarded, they combine sustainability with smart consumption.

Since 2018, we have been one of Matsmart’s suppliers, working together to optimize their packaging solutions. With a shared commitment to sustainable materials, we’ve developed innovative boxes that meet their needs for both quality and sustainability.

Our packaging is designed to minimize unnecessary air in shipments, which improves packing efficiency and reduces environmental impact through fewer transports.

Our collaboration has been a key factor for Matsmart in ensuring that products reach customers in excellent condition. With our expertise in packaging solutions, we’ve helped them enhance both customer experience and their sustainability efforts.

Our collaboration with Boxon has been an important part of our journey towards offering sustainable and efficient packaging solutions. Boxon shares our vision of reducing climate impact while ensuring our customers receive their orders in the best possible condition. Their expertise and flexibility have made them a reliable partner that helps us make a difference – both for our customers and the planet," says Jane Johansson Salander, Warehouse Manager Nordics at Matsmart.

Packaging solutions with a focus on sustainability, quality, and functionality

As an e-commerce company with a sustainability focus, Matsmart needed a supplier who could provide high-quality packaging that is both sustainable and functional. Our boxes made from recyclable materials are designed to meet these demands by protecting the products during transport while also contributing to a circular economy.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Matsmart since early 2018 and have been part of their inspiring journey. Over the years, we’ve tackled many challenges together, from a global pandemic to supply chain issues caused by the war in Europe. Despite these obstacles, we’ve jointly found solutions that have contributed to both cost savings and increased customer satisfaction," says Mikael Classon, Account Manager at Boxon.

Optimizing packaging quality

In our latest agreement with Matsmart, we’ve taken further steps to optimize their packaging. Improvements include more sustainable materials and more efficient design, which increases transport efficiency and strengthens their ability to meet the high demands of e-commerce – all while maintaining their strong focus on the environment and climate.

Thanks to our solutions, Matsmart has been able to:

Optimize their costs – By enhancing the design and quality of one of their boxes, we’ve reduced packaging costs without compromising on sustainability or functionality.
Reduce claims – A custom-designed solution for glass packaging has reduced transport-related damage and reduced the number of claims.

Working with Matsmart is both rewarding and stimulating. Together, we continuously strive to find new areas for improvement and smarter solutions that support their ongoing success," Mikael concludes.
