What did 2025 bring at Manupackaging?

2025 was the year of data-driven packaging optimization at Manupackaging.
Projects implemented at our customers clearly proved that developments based on proper measurements, audits, and well-founded technological decisions are not only more sustainable, but also deliver tangible business results.

The market introduction of the M StableSite Audit, along with the application of the FEF-200 pallet stability measuring device, enabled packaging decisions to be based on objective data rather than assumptions.
As a result, in 2025 we achieved significant reductions in stretch film usage, costs, and CO₂ emissions across multiple industries, while pallet stability and transport safety did not deteriorate – in many cases, they even improved.

2025 – Successes Based on Case Studies

The case studies completed during the year numerically confirmed the results of optimization:

Food industry partner

• Stretch film usage: 191 g → 96 g per pallet
• Nearly 50% film savings
• 27% cost reduction
• Achieved through the M StableSite Audit and machine optimization

Plastic product manufacturer

• Stretch film usage: 400 g → 120 g per pallet
• 70% film savings
• Through robotic packaging and FEF-200 measurements

Construction industry customer

• Stretch film usage: 283 g → 183 g per pallet
• 33% material reduction
• More than EUR-equivalent 4.5 million HUF annual direct savings

FMCG retail project

• Stretch film usage: 157 g → 78 g per pallet
• 51% film savings
• Reduced CO₂ footprint
• Stability verified by FEF-200 measurements

The Most Successful Solutions Behind These Results

Based on the case studies, the following solutions proved to be the most effective in 2025:

• Transition from manual to machine stretch wrapping
  • Reproducible quality
  • Precise stretching and tension control
  • Significantly reduced material usage
  • Fewer operator errors
• Targeted packaging machine investments
  • Decisions based on audits and measurements
  • Fast return on investment
  • More stable and safer pallets
• Introduction of Manustar® 12 my stretch film
  • Replacement of thicker films
  • Equal or better performance with thinner material
  • Lower environmental impact
• Use of the FEF-200 measuring device
  • Objective pallet stability data
  • Elimination of over-packaging
  • Safe reduction of film usage
• M StableSite Audit as a decision-making foundation
  • Full review of the packaging process
  • Identification of hidden costs
  • Data-based improvement recommendations

Where are we heading in 2026?

The results of 2025 clearly showed that packaging optimization is not a one-time intervention, but a long-term strategic opportunity.
In 2026, we will continue this commitment with even more measurements, more conscious technological decisions, and an even stronger focus on sustainability and cost efficiency.
