Change the way you package your bikes with Bipak

Posted on in Brands & Products News , Cycles News

Bipak is an award winning bike packing solution from Smurfit Kappa.

Bipak road bikeSmurfit Kappa's designers devised a packing procedure to facilitate easy, smooth and fast delivery of the completed cycle. A support is attached to the bike frame and placed in the outer protecting the forks and front brake assembly. A triangular cover clips around the frame securing and separating the handlebars and frame from other parts.

A support for the rear wheel locates the bike in the outer. Another box-shaped support contains documentation and small parts. A folder style fitting contains the front wheel, featuring multiple creases to accommodate different wheel and tyre specifications.

Key benefits

  • A 3D set of ‘Best practice' packing instructions ensures the bikes are packed precisely, by anyone in the workforce.
  • This pack can be used by retailers and manufacturers or those wanting to travel with their cycle.
  • Each fitment is marked in sequence A, B, C to aid ease and speed, and has vastly improved packing.
  • The transit pack is 100% FSC® corrugated cardboard and can be disposed of easily by the consumer in the normal waste stream.
  • The outer carton can be plain or printed to suit any customer requirements.
  • Originally designed for Cotic Ltd, Sheffield.
  • This packaging approach enhances the quality of the consumer's ‘magic moment' of first unboxing.

Retailers or suppliers wishing to order or for more information on the Bipak please call Claire Clarke 07841 080 084 on or alternativley you can email claire.clarke2@smurfitkappa.co.uk
