Award winners
Tuscarora's Gold was awarded for an integrated materials pack that is universal to five different Rangemaster range-style cookers. The pack has an EPS top, base, front buffer and side panels, edge-guard and corrugated top cap and base tray that is shrink-wrapped for despatch. The creative design resulted in annual cost savings in excess of £100,000 for Rangemaster. Carefully designed cavities within the EPS top moulding have made extra packaging for accessories unnecessary. And, the structure of this integrated materials pack can be easily adapted to accommodate new models of Rangemaster cookers, as they are introduced – achieving more future savings.
