“Ready to Share, Ready to Show”, Safe and convenient transportation packaging
News “Ready to Share, Ready to Show”, Safe and convenient transportation packaging Loading Data… Safely shipping products out of factories or production sites to where they are sold is one of the top concerns of many entrepreneurs because if the product is damaged even slightly during the transportation period, it means that the value of the product will also decrease. Therefore, choosing the packaging used for transporting goods well is something that will help entrepreneurs feel confident that their goods can smoothly transfer to their destination. SCGP’s designers, Thanaporn Worawas and Kritchaporn Kulrattanarak, once designed quality transportation packaging. Such packaging also has other features than being something used for transporting goods. Transportation packaging was created by SCGP designers at that time. It’s titled “Ready to Share, Ready to Show.” Sure about transportation “Ready to Share, Ready to Show” is a creation by SCGP designers in the form of paper packaging for transporting large bottles of chili sauce. It is known as packaging specifically for transporting goods. Of course, the first obvious feature is that it can be used to pack extra-large bottles of chili sauce to safely transport them to various destinations. There is no damage to the goods during transportation by using standard dimensional packaging (Common Footprint) with special design, to make the packaging be strong, secure the product to the packaging, and not inaccurate to the point of damage. SCGP designers have highlighted that they created this packaging. We are concerned about the safety of transportation. It is used exclusively for the transportation of goods. If this packaging is used, then even a small amount of transportation errors have occurred, which will make them subject to criticism from customers. “We focus primarily on the impact strength of the packaging.” SCGP designers discuss the most important highlight of the “Ready to Share, Ready to Show” packaging. “We will make samples of the packaging for customers to test. We look at the process of transporting goods, from the customer’s warehouse to whether the customer uses our packaging to sort the goods, and whether is there any damage?” “We have to make sure that our packaging can be used to transport goods safely. Otherwise, we can be criticized. If there is any area where we think there is a risk, we need to be 100 percent sure. To be able to send the workout.” You have to think about a lot of things just in case. Simulate using packaging in every situation first so that there are no mistakes in every aspect.” Convenient for all parties Following its use in the field of transportation. The next highlight of “Ready to Share, Ready to Show” is that it is a packaging for transporting extra-large chili sauce bottles that customers can conveniently install and sell. SCGP designers have revealed that they chose “SRP” or “Shelf Ready Packaging” as one of the key elements for the “Ready to Share, Ready to Show” packaging design. “SRP” or “Shelf Ready Packaging” is a type of packaging designed to be conveniently placed on the shelf. It allows users to save steps. It also increases the market value of the product placed in “SRP”. “We designed our existing Common Footprint to be Shelf Ready Packaging before coming out as Ready to Share, Ready to Show, where the structure of the packaging will be Common Footprint combined with Shelf Ready Packaging,” revealed SCGP designer. “We take into account the frontline, whether it’s our end customer or those who come to shop at each point of sale, and it meets what customers want from us.” “Customer’s staff can easily work without having to waste time on the placement of the products in our packaging, and the people who come to buy the product can see the product clearly and become interested in the product.” Super Attraction Another highlight of “Ready to Share, Ready to Show” is that it is a packaging that can help to highlight the product, and attract buyers’ eyes to pay attention to the product. It leads to great promotional opportunities. The SCGP designer said, “Customers are focused on retailing. They have to put the product up for sale and have buyers pay attention to the product and buy it. Therefore, to make it easy for people to shop and pick up products, we are focusing on Shelf Ready Packaging.” “We had to find a way to make our customers’ products stand out from other customers’ products, so we talked to the graphic design team to help them design the packaging to be different than the competition. How to make our packaging, can help promote customer brands, making it memorable for shoppers.” Therefore, our work is not just a packaging for shipping goods. With the 3 main highlights of “Ready to Share, Ready to Show” packaging, the work has been able to win the first prize in the Transport Package category at the “ASIASTAR 2022 AWARDS”. “The fact that we design our work with the desire to meet a variety of needs but still have transportation as the main concern, so our work is quite tight in terms of quality and has attracted the attention of the judges,” said the SCGP designer about the award for “Ready to Share, Ready to Show”. “I was impressed with the cooperation of all parties to help create this work. We have informed our customers that this work has won an award and they are happy with us.” Related Contents Loading Data…
SCGP Announces 129,398 MB Revenue in 2023 from Solid Consumer Packaging Sales, Strategic Cost Management and Production Efficiency Improvement Plan to Boost Annual Revenue to 150,000 MB Amid Recovering Demand in 2024
News SCGP Announces 129,398 MB Revenue in 2023 from Solid Consumer Packaging Sales, Strategic Cost Management and Production Efficiency Improvement Plan to Boost Annual Revenue to 150,000 MB Amid Recovering Demand in 2024 Previous slide Next slide Loading Data… SCGP announced its operating results for 2023, reporting a revenue from sales of Baht 129,398 million and a profit for the year of Baht 5,248 million. This achievement was attributed to the enhanced cost management efficiency and the strengthened network of recovered paper sources. SCGP highlighted a positive trend in packaging industry for 2024, driven by a boost in tourism and rebound in exports while inflation rates and interest rates are projected to decline. Laying out its plan for 2024 with strategic approach to drive revenue and profit, setting sales target of Baht 150,000 million. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer of SCG Packaging Public Company Limited or SCGP, disclosed the company’s operating results for 2023. The revenue from sales amounted to Baht 129,398 million, a decrease of 11% YoY. EBITDA stood at Baht 17,769 million, decreased 8% YoY, and the profit for the year was Baht 5,248 million, down by 10% YoY. However, EBITDA margin increased to 14% from 13% in the previous year, reflecting the focused efforts on cost management and production efficiency improvements. Sales of consumer packaging remained strong while price competition intensified in overall packaging paper industry over the past year amid high inflation and interest rates which impacted consumer purchasing power. Nonetheless, selling prices of packaging paper and pulp in the region have already passed the bottom point and are trending upward, driven by recovering demand in ASEAN and China. In the fourth quarter of 2023, SCGP reported revenue from sales of Baht 31,881 million, a decrease of 5% YoY but an increase of 1% QoQ. EBITDA was Baht 4,388 million, up by 23% YoY and increased by 4% QoQ. The profit for the period was Baht 1,218 million, an increase of 171% YoY but a decrease of 8% from last quarter. QoQ change in net profit was attributed to increased taxes and finance costs. The increase in EBITDA and profit from last year was driven by increased sales volumes across nearly all product groups, and enhanced cost management efficiency. These cost management strategies include the use of technology in the production process of packaging paper plants in Thailand, a comprehensive network of recovered paper sources that helps mitigate price impact and increase the stability of raw material supply, along with an increased proportion of biomass energy usage. During the fourth quarter of 2023, packaging industry continued to recover, especially in food and beverage sectors and consumer products, which benefited from increased spending during New Year’s festivities and rising tourism activities. Notable recoveries of domestic consumption were in Vietnam and Indonesia, with exports, particularly of frozen food and pet food, showing good recovery. However, durable goods remained stable. In consideration of the FY2023 financial performance, the Board of Directors has proposed for shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), a full year 2023 annual dividend payment of 0.55 Baht per share, of which 0.25 Baht per share was previously paid as an interim dividend on 22 August 2023. The final dividend payment of 0.30 Baht per share will be on 22 April 2024, record date of 3 April 2024, and XD-date of 2 April 2024. Wichan said that the overall packaging industry is expected to continue its recovery in 2024, especially in ASEAN countries, including Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and also in China. Positive factors contributing to this recovery consist of stimulus policies including in tourism and an anticipated export rebound. A downward trend in inflation rates and interest rates is expected to positively impact consumer purchasing power. Meanwhile, energy and recycled paper prices are trending toward sideway up, with potential adjustments in global freight costs from ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. SCGP is ready to drive growth to achieve its 2024 revenue target of Baht 150,000 million, with investment budget of Baht 15,000 million. This growth will be fueled by strategies to expand the business in high-potential sectors including medical supplies and labware, global foodservice packaging, and bio-solutions, which is a megatrend. SCGP is committed to continuous developing innovation and solutions to enhance business capabilities, proactively manage costs, and elevate operational excellence through the use of technology. Moreover, ESG initiatives are in progress with the continual increase in alternative energy sources which helps move SCGP towards achieving its goal of Net Zero by 2050.

5 Simple Lifestyle Changes for Sustainability
News 5 Simple Lifestyle Changes for Sustainability Loading Data… 5 Simple Lifestyle Changes for Sustainability Today, a sustainable lifestyle has become a growing trend among the young generation who have become cautious of social and environmental issues. To embrace a sustainable lifestyle, look at the five following factors of our lives. If we choose wisely about these factors, we are on our path towards upholding sustainability. 1. FoodLet’s think about how our food and beverages in each meal are produced and processed, and how leftovers will be disposed. If we eat less meat and more of cereals, fruits, vegetables, or plant-based protein, we help curb excessive meat production. When we go green on our diet, it is best to opt for cooking techniques that involve minimum processing. 2. HousingBe cautious of housing materials and the number of air conditioners as well as electrical appliances we have at home. It is best to choose eco-friendly materials and use solar power instead of electricity. If possible, go for energy-saving devices and avoid emitting greenhouse gases. 3. TransportationPublic and private transport has environmental impacts. Have we still used vehicles with poor combustion systems? Let’s jump electric trains to reduce pollution. For a sustainable planet, support infrastructure that eases environmental impacts and benefits society in the long run. 4. LeisureAre our hobbies and destinations friendly to the environment? Today, some tour operators have offered ecotourism. It is possible to dive and snorkel without harming coral reefs and the natural habitats of aquatic animals. These tour operators have also banned plastic usage at attractions and national parks. Are we ready to support such tour services? 5. Consumer GoodsMost consumer goods are manufactured at factories and contain chemicals. Used frequently, they definitely pollute the environment. We therefore should consider using innovations that will curb waste. For example, we had better support snacks in biodegradable packaging and milk cartons with paper straws than those with plastic straws. It is time to review our lifestyles. We don’t have to force ourselves to uphold sustainability causes. But where possible, we should pick the choices that cause minimum environmental impacts and care more about the world. When we do so, we will naturally find “the key” to a sustainable lifestyle. A sustainable lifestyle has many benefits. In fact, it leads us to healthy diets and a better environment. We therefore will be rewarded with good health and a more livable planet. We can reduce global warming and solve the world’s garbage problem through our small acts. When we change our lifestyles towards sustainability, we will generate ripples across our societies. Related Contents Loading Data…
