Cartons are worthy of their own day of remembrance.

More than two thirds of all goods produced in Germany are shipped in corrugated cardboard boxes both at home and abroad. They offer effective protection against impact, pressure and moisture, are lightweight and can be reused.

Take advantage of this public holiday and send a gift in a cardboard box on 25 August.
