The COMBO Solution for sustainable and high-performance logistics
Cost reduction, workforce control, productivity gains… For the past two years, supply chains have been under constant pressure.
Transport costs are rising, labor is becoming more expensive, warehouses are reaching capacity, and customers are increasingly demanding: sustainable logistics has become essential.
In this context, optimizing logistics processes is no longer just about moving faster. It is primarily about improving work methods, reducing consumption, limiting waste, and lowering carbon impact—while remaining effective in the field.
Among the simplest and most effective levers, palletizing plays a central role. Poorly managed palletization generates many hidden costs. When done correctly, it becomes a key pillar of sustainable logistics.
This is precisely where CGP’s COMBO Solution offers a concrete answer: quick to deploy and immediately measurable.
1. Why logistics optimization has become a strategic issue
Today, logistics optimization concerns the entire value chain :
lower internal and external costs
secured flow management
improved safety and working comfort
reduced carbon impact and greenhouse gas emissions
In a sustainable logistics approach, every action must be evaluated according to two simple criteria:
👉 Is it economically efficient?
👉 Does it reduce environmental impact?
Up to 20% of logistics costs are related to handling and palletizing—an often underestimated lever.
An unstable pallet not only causes financial losses; it also leads to additional transport, excessive packaging use, and increased CO₂ emissions—directly contradicting sustainable logistics goals.
2- Palletizing: the heart of sustainable logistics optimization
Palletizing is one of the fastest ways to engage in sustainable logistics optimization.
Excessive use of plastic film
To compensate for lack of stability, teams often add more stretch film. The result: higher costs, wasted time, and negative environmental impact.
Operator time and rework
Reworks, adjustments, re-wrapping… Each intervention increases labor costs and slows down warehouse flows.
Transport damage
Poorly stabilized pallets generate returns, damaged goods, and transport disputes—avoidable losses with better palletizing.
👉 Improving pallet stability therefore reduces costs, risks, and carbon impact simultaneously.
3- The CGP Combo solution: a simple and effective answer
CGP Coating Innovation designed the combo solution to help industrial companies implement sustainable logistics optimization without disrupting existing methods.
👉 It is based on the combination of three recyclable anti-slip paper solutions, designed for real-world constraints:
This combination secures loads in a simple way, using less plastic film, fewer reworks, and delivering better overall performance.
STABULON®: Improve stability from the start
STABULON® increases adhesion between layers and stabilizes the pallet from the moment it is built.
Concrete benefits:
immediate reduction in plastic film usage
productivity gains for operators
fewer damaged products and disputes
reduced carbon impact
STABULON® is often the first simple step toward sustainable logistics optimization.
STABUSTRAP®: Reduce film and save time
STABUSTRAP® replaces part of the stretch film in many situations.
Advantages:
reduces film use by 40 to 70%
quick to apply
simpler, less repetitive motions
reusable and recyclable strap
A powerful tool for combining logistics optimization with sustainability.
STABUSTOP®: Secure the pallet from the base
STABUSTOP® acts at the base of the pallet, where most stability issues originate.
Results:
better load retention during transport
fewer quality issues
reduced product losses and waste
4- Sustainable logistics optimization: measurable results
The combo solution delivers cumulative benefits:
👉 less plastic film
👉 less handling
👉 fewer accidents
👉 less waste
👉 higher productivity
Companies typically observe:
20 to 40% reduction in wrapping costs
10 to 25% productivity increase
significant drop in transport disputes
return on investment within weeks
5- Conclusion: sustainable and practical logistics optimization
Logistics optimization is no longer optional. It is now inseparable from responsible, sustainable, and operationally effective logistics.
The CGP combo solution offers a simple, fast-to-implement answer that aligns with the economic and operational challenges of modern warehouses.
