General introduction

DS Smith Kaysersberg is the continental European division of DS Smith Plc for the manufacture of cardboard and corrugated packaging.

The DS Smith plc group is

  • the world's leading producer of bag-in-box packaging
  • the leading European supplier of plastic returnable transit packaging
  • the leading UK collector of waste paper and producer of recycled paper and corrugated packaging
  • a substantial producer of corrugated packaging in Europe

DS Smith Kaysersberg, based in Alsace since 1909, is recognised across Europe for its development and innovation capacities and the quality of its packaging products. A multi-specialist producer of corrugated packaging, the know-how of our research centres is evident in our full product range , from SRP to industrial packaging, including POP, cardboard pallets and bi-material packaging. This expertise in our specialist fields enables us to operate in markets as diverse as fast moving consumer goods, automotive components, chemicals, electronics, logistics and conversion/retail, to mention just a few. Our packaging solution development strategy, "Pack Right" ", is guaranteed to provide you with added value through our products and services.

Our extensive European network enables us to support your geographical development: the DS Smith Kaysersberg production sites in France, Italy, Poland, Turkey and Ukraine have an annual production capacity of more than 600 million m² of corrugated board. The conversion sites in France, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Turkey can respond quickly and locally to specific small and medium-sized orders. They manufacture various packaging products, standard and non-standard, from microflute to quadruple wall (laminated double wall).
We are a member of the TPN European corrugated packaging alliance, which covers the whole of Europe.

Finally, the production capacity of our manufacturing plants is regularly improved through steady investments. We can therefore offer:

  • a complete range of printing techniques, from pre-print to laminated offset labels, including silk screen printing, digital printing and post-print flexo printing up to 7 colours.
  • a very wide range of compositions with fluting ranging from micro to quadruple (laminated double wall).
