The Winning Presentation.
The bicycle industry is renowned for its diversity. From road and mountain bicycles to motorized and electric bicycles; brands are tasked with managing a wide range of products. Traditionally, bicycle packaging was designed for transit to retail stores. Recent market trends including direct-to-consumer and sustainability have redefined the requirements for bicycle packaging.
Our design solution started with an extensive evaluation of material providers and manufacturers across key bicycle manufacturing regions, including China, Mexico, Taiwan and Vietnam. We have curated a selection of source – certified materials including FSC certified virgin corrugated boxes to 70-100% recycled corrugated options to pure PET or HDPE plastics. Brands can personalize the packaging materials based on their sustainability goals.
Our established relationship with material providers means that YFY Jupiter is able to provide brands with packaging that is audited and verified, sustainable, cost-efficient, and readily available; ensuring high-quality, eco-friendly packaging at a competitive price.

With that said, this collection of project summaries shows the positive impacts that YFYJupiter can make in your packaging programs.
A Great Fit for Every Stapler.
Case Study: YFYJupiter helped a global office supplies retailer to reduce costs substantially. By completely redesigning its secondary packaging and integrating ‘shelf ready packaging’ for inbound receipt with their product manufacturers, the brand owner could make savings on corrugated material reduction, eliminating master carton prep associated with distribution center labor, and in addition make a significant contribution to the environmental impact.
To help “eliminate the concept of waste” … YFYJupiter helped design and implement packaging specifications for vendor compliance that reduced costs, climate change and optimized supply chain across 40+ distribution centers. Our technical team reviewed the whole value chain in order to achieve improvements and cost savings. The number of carton sizes was decreased from over 1000 box configurations to 3 which resulted in an optimized packaging fit for more office supply products. New carton assignment processes and guidelines were also created with improved packaging materials specified. This optimized the packaging and the overall supply chain.
The customer benefited from exceptional operational savings.
- Reduction in freight costs alone yielded savings of an impressive $1.5 million.
- The total potential in labor savings is >$7.3 million.
The direct savings from packaging were also substantial due to leveraging volumes and a change to better materials. Another factor contributing to savings was an increase in the reuse of inbound packaging for outbound use. This resulted in significant improvements of the company’s sustainability performance.
Extended Producer Responsibility Workshops.
Case Study: We recently hosted a crucial clinic on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation for one of the largest Arts and Crafts brands in the US, providing essential insights into compliance and fee avoidance strategies. This session was vital for understanding the complex requirements of EPR and its impact of packaging design.
By engaging directly with industry experts and gaining a comprehensive understanding of EPR obligations, our client is now better equipped to navigate compliance challenges, reduce potential fees, and implement effective, sustainable packaging solutions. This proactive approach ensures they remain ahead of regulatory changes and continue to lead in responsible business practices into 2025.
