Jeg sendte en ny e-post til Packaging Europe, (som var det firmaet jeg jobbet for, som selvstendig næringsdrivende, i 2007 og 2008)

Hi Tim, that sounds very smart. I'll send some mints/sweets, that I sell to Norway, to your office, to Irina or something, as thank you for the help with the packaging/wrapping. At least if the customers buy them all, at once :) Only joking. Thank you very much for the advice with this. I'll check on Staples and places like that. I'll put the crisps and the tortilla chips and the alcohol, in an own online Off Licence now, I thought. So then I have some time to find the right packaging, before that online shop opens. So I already have a spin off, on the sweets/mints-shop. (Since they stopped selling Glacier Mints in Norway, for some reason. And I've read that the customers miss them there). But we'll see if someone buy them yet. I haven't started marketing yet, on Google etc. So I can't say for sure if it's going to be a success yet. But if it is a success, then I'll think I'll subsribe to the Packaging Database, that I worked on, in 2007 and 2008, to find the best and most in-expensive packaging-solution. We'll see. Thank you very much for the help with the advice again! Best regards, Erik Ribsskog On Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 12:40 PM, tim <tim@packagingeurope.com> wrote: Hi Erik, It’s good to hear from you. I’m pleased to hear about your venture and hope it proves a big success. That’s an interesting question about the packaging. I agree that there would be a real risk of damaging the crisps in transit. You would definitely need an additional layer of packaging to protect them – maybe a light cardboard box, preferably small enough for the crisps package inside not to rattle around. This should be fairly cheap and is light but provides some rigidity to protect the crisps.

Thanks for the co-operation, with the Packaging Europe-database, in 2007 and 2008. I've now started a new webshop, specialising, in selling British food, to Scandinavia, (and Europe): http://www.godtebutikken.net/ I have some problems with the packaging, for the crisps and the tortilla-chips. I thought maybe it was ok, if I asked you, since you work in the packaging-industry. I need a packaging, that is light-weight, (because I send with airmail), which is in-expensive, (since the products aren't that expensive), and which have room for the 6-packs of 30 grams crisps and tortilla chips, that are very popular, in the UK. I sell mostly British sweets, but some customers have alse enquired about the crisps. I used to work as a food shop-manager in Norway, so this is two of my fields, IT and groceries/food. Since they have stopped selling the Glacier-mints in Norway. So I thought I could sell them on the internet, since many people in Norway, miss the Glacier-mints. (I've read on the internet). I mostly use buble-envelopes. But, I'm not sure if these are good enough, to send as air mail, without the crisps being broken into many pieces. I understand this is not really packaging, but more like wrapping. But I just thought about the packaging-job, when I thought about this, with the wrapping. So I thought that maybe you would know about this. Do you think it's possible to send the crips to Norway etc., without them being distroyed? Hope this is alright! Best regards, Erik Ribsskog
