ETRA BIN
No more and no less than the World's best storage box. Etra Bin set the bar for design. The box was first designed for inner logistics, but because of its features, Etra Bin became one of the hit products in general sales and is growing in popularity.
Etra Bin set the bar for design. The outcome was a customised storage solution that – because of its features – became a hit product in general sales as well.
Etra Oy had a demand for a custom storage solution that would meet the requirements of their inner logistics. Storing and separation of customers’ small goods required a customised box designed according to Etra’s wishes.
Etra entrusted the challenge to Okartek. The design, concept design, product design, mold design, procurement process and the production itself was all handled by Okartek.
–We expected Etra Bin to meet all the high-quality standards Etra has set to its products. The goal was to come up with the worlds best, stated the Director of Logistics Pekka Pöntiö.
PARTS MAKE UP THE WHOLE. THEREFORE, OUR FOCUS IS ON THE DETAILS AND FUNCTIONALITY.
The transparent lip keeps the contents in sight even while stacked.
All new projects are carefully planned together with the customer and end-users. Material choices and design are always based on the information and ideas gathered from the brainstorming. But however accurate the first planning sessions would be, the collaboration and innovation continue throughout the whole process.
Etra Bin is a classic example of Okartek’s production efficiency. Etra gave a briefing on needed features, purposes and manners of use after which Okartek took care of the matter and produced a customised product from drawings to delivery.
Despite the box was first designed for inner logistics, because of its features, Etra Bin became one of the hit products in general sales, and is growing in popularity.
