DS Smith helps businesses transition to e-commerce


Packaging giant DS Smith has introduced a simplified range of products designed to offer immediate solutions for organisations looking to transition to online, quickly and effectively.

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced many organisations to review their supply chains and, in many cases, revise traditional business models in favour of e-commerce – delivering their product direct to the consumer.

While many businesses are working tirelessly to meet the surge in demand of online orders, a large number of SMEs and local businesses across the country have had to adapt rapidly, often facing the prospect of transitioning their business online for the first time.

Available via DS Smith’s online e-pack webshop, the new Essential Solutions range is comprised of solutions for the most popular applications, including letterbox packs, an essentials provisions box, a corrugated tray replacement for recyclable plastic crates and bottle packs.

The range has been specially designed to be versatile, suiting products in a variety of sectors, including food and drink, apparel and footwear, health and beauty, home and garden, sports and leisure and pharmaceuticals.

Rob Carle, UK head of e-commerce sales at DS Smith said: “During this uncertain time, we’re seeing many businesses facing supply chain challenges and needing to rapidly revise their traditional business models to include e-commerce.

“The Essential Solutions range gives businesses the support and assurance they need to adapt quickly and continue to get their goods out the door.”
