"BETTER BOX UP!" – How the folding carton industry inspires young talent
The folding carton industry is omnipresent in our everyday lives, even if we rarely consciously notice it. From organic yogurt in the supermarket to high-tech gadgets in shipping cartons—folding cartons package products hygienically, safely, and sustainably. Behind these inconspicuous packages lies an exciting industry full of technical innovations, creative solutions, and, above all, dedicated people. With its new campaign, "BETTER BOX UP!", the Fachverband Faltschachtel-Industrie e. V. (FFI) shows how diverse the career opportunities are here—and we at WE.LOVE.Find PRINT: It's worth taking a look.
Young talent wanted – and career changers welcome
The industry is facing a challenge: there is a shortage of skilled workers. This makes it all the more important to show young people, career changers, and experienced professionals how attractive working in the folding carton industry can be. "BETTER BOX UP!" does just that. Instead of dry job ads, the campaign focuses on personality and authenticity: the faces of the campaign—Anna, Kevin, Pratik, Jessy, Dariusz, and Marios—provide insights into their everyday working lives and show why their work is so exciting.
Career with prospects
There is more to the slogan "BETTER BOX UP!" than just a clever catchphrase. "Better" stands for better prospects: secure jobs, realistic opportunities for advancement, and diverse development opportunities. Whether as an apprenticer, skilled worker or career changerAnyone working in the folding carton industry can look forward to a future-proof career with excellent prospects. And that's in an industry that is socially relevant: folding cartons protect products, transport, and the environment in equal measure.
Modern, colorful, and approachable
The campaign itself is a real eye-catcher. With bold colors and tongue-in-cheek slogans such as "Be our Pappenheimer" or "Worry lines? You can forget them," "BETTER BOX UP!" shows that the industry is anything but boring. Both online and offline, the campaign captures the spirit of the times: social media posts, out-of-home motifs, and a modern landing page with the "Chatbox" chatbot make it easy for interested parties to ask questions and find suitable job offers.
