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

  • The transit pack is 100% FSC® corrugated cardboard and can be disposed of easily by the consumer in the normal waste stream.
