Custom-made solutions designed to meet your logistical constraints, industrial performance, and environmental commitments.
In a context where environmental responsibility is becoming a key decision-making factor for businesses, packaging and shipping have taken on a strategic dimension. Long viewed as mere logistical components, they are now central to a sustainable approach, combining performance, adaptability, and environmental respect. At Guérin France, we place these priorities at the heart of our expertise, offering customized, eco-responsible packaging solutions tailored to the specific needs of each client.
The Role of Packaging in the Supply Chain
The role of packaging in product protection
Packaging plays a crucial role in securing goods, whether they are fragile, bulky, or sensitive to external conditions. It ensures product integrity throughout transport and storage up to the final delivery.
Cost and transport space optimization
Custom packaging helps optimize the space used in trucks or containers, thereby reducing logistics costs and transport-related emissions. Properly adapted packaging also limits returns and disputes caused by damaged goods.
Brand image and customer experience
Well-designed and responsible packaging positively enhances the company’s image. It also acts as a loyalty lever by providing customers with a delivery experience aligned with their ethical and practical expectations.
A Wide Range of Packaging Options : Protection and Optimization
Our packaging solutions ensure the safety, presentation, and storage efficiency of your products. At Guérin France, we adapt each packaging solution to the nature of your parts, their quantity, and your handling constraints, while also integrating logistical and economic optimization criteria.
Individual or grouped packaging
According to your requirements, we offer individual or grouped packaging solutions. To streamline logistics, we tailor the packaging to your production line needs. For example, if your equipment requires batch changes of 150 parts, we will package your products accordingly avoiding wasted time and errors caused by manual reconditioning.
Moreover, European regulations are introducing a maximum of 50% empty space for grouped, transport, and e-commerce packaging. This means businesses will need to ensure their packaging is adequately sized to avoid wasting space. In the long run, this shift may be accompanied by financial penalties for non-compliance. Several European countries have already started implementing such measures.
As a result, companies using oversized or poorly adapted boxes could face financial sanctions.
At Guérin France, we anticipate these requirements by designing optimized packaging that reduces empty space and maximizes fill rate. This approach helps lower costs, improve the carbon footprint, and comply with current standards. It also aligns with upcoming fiscal obligations related to packaging volume.
Types of Packaging and Custom Finishes
At Guérin France, we ensure complete, optimal, and personalized protection of your products throughout their journey from temporary storage to long-distance shipping. Each packaging solution is designed to preserve the integrity, quality, and traceability of your goods, regardless of technical constraints.
Our expertise goes beyond manufacturing : customization extends all the way to final packaging, with tailor-made solutions that precisely meet your logistical, industry-specific, and environmental needs. Our packaging is always adapted to your products and your operational requirements.
We offer a wide range of industrial packaging options that ensure protection, safety, ergonomics, and performance, while meeting industrial quality standards for transport, storage, and integration into production lines:

- Batch-adapted packaging : We adjust formats to the required quantities, avoiding manual repackaging and logistical waste.
What Is Eco-Responsible Packaging?
Definition and characteristics
Eco-responsible packaging is designed to minimize its environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle. It meets strict criteria in terms of materials, production methods, usage, and end-of-life disposal.
Recycled, recyclable, and biodegradable materials
Eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics are increasingly available : recycled cardboard, kraft paper, bioplastics, natural fibers, and more. These materials combine durability with environmental responsibility.
Environmental certifications and key standards
Certain certifications guarantee the sustainable nature of packaging : FSC, PEFC, ISO 14001, among others. These certifications help businesses showcase their commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
An Eco-Responsible and Innovative Approach
Driven by environmental awareness, we adopt planet-friendly solutions to reduce our carbon footprint while maintaining optimal logistics performance.
Recycled and reusable materials
We incorporate low-impact materials such as :
- Recycled paper for cushioning and filling
- Biodegradable bubble wrap
- Reusable crates, bins, and tubes (e.g., standardized blue bins)
- Innovative alternatives to single-use packaging
Optimizing packaging volume
Our packaging is designed to :
- Minimize space requirements
- Facilitate storage by optimizing volume on customer premises
- Reduce transport-related costs and emissions
This approach limits the use of virgin resources while maintaining a high level of protection reducing the number of trucks on the road and cutting CO₂ emissions.
Format customization
We tailor formats to :
- Meet actual production needs
- Avoid over-packaging
- Reduce manual handling
Through this customization, we aim for maximum supply chain efficiency, with reduced environmental impact and improved productivity for our clients.
Shipping Solutions Tailored to Business Needs
Customized packaging by industry sector
Each industry whether agri-food, industrial, or cosmetics faces specific constraints related to transportation, hygiene, safety, or traceability. At Guérin France, we develop tailor-made packaging solutions that meet the technical, regulatory, and logistical requirements unique to each field.
Our goal: to provide every client with a solution perfectly suited to their operational needs, ensuring both performance and compliance.
Custom packaging: reducing void space and waste
Adapting packaging to the actual size and volume of products significantly reduces unnecessary void space, thereby limiting raw material consumption and improving transportation efficiency. By designing packaging that fits products precisely, we reduce the number of boxes used, optimize pallet and truck space, and lower storage and shipping costs.
This approach is both economical and eco-responsible : fewer materials, less wasted space, and consequently, lower CO₂ emissions. It also aligns with new European regulations, which now impose a maximum of 50% empty space in packaging for certain types of shipments to combat over-packaging.
At Guérin France, we incorporate this mindset from the design stage to ensure your packaging solutions are optimized, sustainable, and compliant with upcoming standards.
Integration of smart tracking technologies
The integration of connected solutions such as RFID tags, QR codes, and digital tracking systems enables precise, real-time logistics management. These technologies enhance parcel traceability, strengthen shipping security, and improve the overall efficiency of supply chains.
In parallel, the digitization of logistics documents like the use of the CCPU (Client Account for Usage) or automated delivery slips via email greatly reduces paper consumption, cutting down on waste and administrative costs.
This connected and responsible approach is fully aligned with sustainable logistics and the optimization of information flows.
