- Using a life-centered packaging design approach in thecontext of packaging applications for consumer goods, thispaper presents a conceptual model for the concurrent developmentof packaging, product, logistics process, and supplychain (SC). The objective is to enhance the understandingof packaging logistics and logistics management in SCs andto identify current packaging logistics issues in the SC. Thefour-dimensional concurrent engineering (4DCE) framework,based on the alignment of and interaction between SC,logistics, packaging, and product, is used to increase overallSC efficiency. The model is applied and tested via threecase studies within different industries. The results indicateimproved understanding and knowledge-sharing betweenSC actors, with collaborative efforts leading to an increasedoverall SC performance.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Short Food Supply Chain (SFSC) has increased in recent decades, significantly impacting the environment, CO2 emissions, and biodiversity loss. This study focuses on the SFSC and its components by examining the logistics strategies and the value of simple communication strategies in the SFSC. The study aims to gain insight into how these strategies can provide competitive advantages for food producers and align with the desired perception by customers. The SFSC is a direct and shortened food distribution system from producer to consumer, reducing the number of intermediaries involved in the supply chain and promoting a more sustainable and efficient food supply chain system. The study analyses case studies of Swedish food producers and intermediaries to understand the impact of SFSC on reducing food waste and packaging research. The growth of SFSCs is expected to lead to a more locally produced food industry and improved small business development, product range, and energy efficiency.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This research purpose is to generate knowledge about locally produced companies packaging strategies related to communication, environmental sustainability, and innovation. Additionally, it studies how the areas mentioned can provide companies with a competitive advantage. Case studies have been conducted on Swedish brand owners in the consumable market, evolved from literature studies. The case companies value genuineness in their communication strategy and precisely when connected to the location, focusing on specific attributes that communicate stories about the brand related to its origin. Packaging materials used, so it correlates with how the company wants to be perceived by the consumer. All companies incorporate some form of an environmentally sustainable strategy. The companies project exclusivity through shape choice, material use, location and heritage profiling, retail location, and the usability of the packaging, which also provides a competitive advantage for the companies. The study will aid new and established corporations in missing a dedicated packaging strategy related to the categories discussed. Instead of investing time and resources in dedicated research, this study may help companies gain further insight by providing information on how established and newly formed companies already navigate their packaging strategy regarding communication, environmental sustainability, and innovation. As previous literature has not explored the researched area, this study has contributed to packaging information and served as a portal to brand owners’ decisions regarding the categories. The study aimed to provide information about the packaging strategy of brand owners. However, it does not take into inconsideration any potential financial gain. The study was not able to be verified by repetition. The study is limited to three brand owners related to consumer packaging.
