Why corrugated board?
Our environment is unique and it is very dear to our heart. Corrugated board as raw material is by all odds not only sustainable, it also provides effective protection for the product, for which relatively less material is used. The other advantages are that corrugated board is of low weight, and it can be machine-processed excellently. The price-to-performance ratio is unbeatable. Corrugated board offers, moreover, practically unlimited possibilities of shapes: from simple packaging to attractive sales display models. In a nutshell, it is the ideal material compatible with the environment.
Highly sensitive products are optimally protected by pliable cellulose.
We also produce individualized U profiles and edge protection made of corrugated board to cater to every need.

In essence, at Schulte Kartonagen your solution comes from a single source and you are offered a no-hassle package.
Customer orientation
The strength of Schulte Kartonagen is in its well-organized and personalized customer support and in its collective approach in finding solutions.

We diligently adhere to our customers’ requirements, and our in-house R&D division will endeavour to find the best and unique solution to meet the customers’ expectations.
Niche areas and customized solutions
Vulnerable luxury goods and items having out of the ordinary dimensions, heavy cargo packaging and other uncommon products that require a unique packaging solution are not at all a problem for us. We are sure to find a packaging system that will reflect the special nature of your product.

Throughout all operations with respect to procurement, quality control, production and transport, all processes are consistently optimized, with due regard to the DIN ISO specifications. This approach is bound to guarantee highest quality and availability of customer solutions, including secure and just-in-time deliveries.
Innovations
Especially for the furniture industry, Schulte has developed and patented the non-woven concept, in which pliable cellulose is laminated on the insides of the corrugated board packaging so as to ensure best protection and maximum safety for items with scratch sensitive surfaces.
Machines in the R&D division
Our machinery, conforming to Industry 4.0 standard as well as DIN EN ISO and FSC certifications, forms the robust basis for high-quality and ideally scheduled production, which, due to its flexibility of a just-in-time logistics, enables us to offer an integrated service package to our customers.
