Testimonials

“We actually don’t have customers, we have real fans. They greatly appreciate that the product is well packed with Geami and that they get their ‘gift’ delivered at home. That is important and fun; that’s why we do it.”

Micha Jacobs Manager DC Rivièra Maison

Customer needs

Reducing damages

Rivièra Maison was looking for a complement to their current range of packaging, especially for their vulnerable products such as ceramics and glassware which needed to be better protected.

Improving sustainability

Rivièra Maison wanted to reduce its environmental impact, by ‘going green’ with paper protective packaging. This was both to reflect its brand values, and to avoid the serious reputation damage that can result when less sustainable businesses are highlighted by environmental advocacy groups.

Enhancing the customer experience

The company is proud of having fans, rather than customers. That makes customer experience a pivotal part of the offer. Clean and well-presented products must arrive intact at end customers – creating the feeling that they have received a ‘gift’ into their home.

Our solution

Ranpak analysed Rivièra Maison’s needs and suggested the Geami solution as an effective way to pack vulnerable products for online delivery. These machines offered a simple route to pristine packages for customers, and they were integrated easily into the existing packaging line.

All packaging stations are now equipped with a Geami WrapPak HV machine
Brown die-cut paper has been chosen, which is combined with white tissue paper featuring the Rivièra Maison logo
During the Christmas season Rivièra Maison switches from white tissue paper to black, making an amazing unboxing experience even more powerful and luxurious.
