Each year, the iF Packaging Design Award recognises exceptional packaging solutions that stand out from the crowd thanks to their design, functionality and ergonomics. The judges have now attested to these characteristics of the current generation of reusable containers by AUER Packaging: these practical containers, which can either be stacked into one another or on top of one another as required, were among the winners of the iF Packaging Design Award 2013!

With the trend-setting "Rigoletto" rain water infiltration system and its new corporate division AUER Rain Solutions, AUER has successfully broken into a further market segment in which high-quality, robust plastic processing is in high demand. Rigoletto is used wherever large areas have been sealed as a result of construction work and rain water can no longer drain into the ground. The law stipulates that the implementation of such solutions is mandatory in certain cases.
A major DIY store chain has now commissioned AUER Rain Solutions with the construction of a trenching solution for its new warehouse. All around the building, seven large systems with Rigoletto elements will be used to allow the water running off the warehouse roof and the surrounding sealed area to drain into the ground in a controlled manner.

A new generation of space-saving containers was recently given the go-ahead. AUER Packaging commissioned the global market leader in injection die casting tool production with a total of 43 tools. The overall investment sum totals approximately EUR 5 million. CEO Robert Auer plans to introduce the new space-saving container product lines to the market in late 2011 or early 2012.

When newly sealed surfaces, such as tarred car parks for example, are built, the law states that gravel-free infiltration systems be used to drain the rain water. At IFAT 2010, AUER Packaging presented its "Rigoletto" inspection block, which meets the strict legal regulations. Series production began in February 2011 and Rigoletto is now available.
The core of the system is a highly stressable trenching support medium made of polypropylene with a hollow space proportion of 95%. It features pipe connections on the side, through which water can pass three-dimensionally with almost no resistance, and which can be combined as required. A continuous inspection tunnel allows automotive camera dollies to be used. The inspection tunnel features wide-meshed grates on the side which serve to control the infiltration-effective exterior surface as well as the entire trenching volume with all statically relevant supporting elements. The trenching system is designed for professional approval inspections and repeat inspections. It can also be installed under traffic areas and at great depths.
Matching end wall grates are available to close the inspection tunnel on the Rigoletto. End wall adapters on the trenching end wall are designed for direct pipe connections and can simply be clicked into place. The Rigoletto inspection blocks can be stacked offset into one another to save space during transport.

DHL Netherlands, an establishment of the global logistic leader "Deutsche Post DHL" (= German Royal Mail), was so convinced of the features of the collapsible containers KLK 1210 with 4 cut-out handles with flaps that they passed a bulk order in November 2009: all packages sent by DHL Netherlands - and therefore a huge part of the packages in the Netherlands - are now sorted in these containers.
The advantages for DHL Netherlands are evident: Thanks to the cut-out handles with flaps, it is comfortable and easy to empty the boxes. The fact that they can be stacked very well saves space in the logistics centre while the reduction in volume once collapsed saves important capacities during transport which is worth real cash.
Thanks to the flexible production process, orders of this dimension can also be processed in a fast and professional way.

The „Kapuziner concept“ of the Kulmbach brewery perfectly catches the spirit of the quality and tradition-conscious target group. Therefore, it is no surprise that AUER Packaging has been commissioned to produce at least another 50 000 bottle crates – only 4 months after the initial production in February 2009. The idea behind Kapuziner is the following: The ancient brewing tradition of the beer city Kulmbach is being resurrected with a high-quality Weissbier authentically bottled in beer bottles with stopper swings. The close cooperation of the Kulmbach brewery with AUER Packaging and the Swiss designing partner Estragon resulted in an individual bottle crate that effectively stages the products and the brand personality of Kapuziner.
Due to the high-quality in-mold-labelling technique, the customer is confronted with a shining, big glass of
Weissbier in the drinks cash-and-carry – a sight that puts people in the mood of consumption only by looking at the crate. The combination of the popular Kapuziner 3-D stroke and the brand emblem – a pleasant-looking Capuchin monk with a glass of Weissbier – on the dark-green coloured crate catch the customers' attention. Managing director Robert Auer states: "Kapuziner is a very good example for proving that consequent implementation of an individual brand personality in the developing process of a bottle crate will be richly awarded with success“. As the design of the beer crate is implemented in accordance with the curved lines of the beer glass and the logo, the design also creates a uniqueness regarding its shape. That fact completely satisfies the uniqueness of the nostalgically-touched premium brand.
