For generations, the detailed miniature trains, steam locomotives and carriages have fascinated collectors and train enthusiasts worldwide. But even a brand with such a glorious past has to reinvent itself time and again - not only in terms of the variety of models, but also in the <strong>Production and logistics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A look behind the scenes of M\u00e4rklin production in <strong>G\u00f6ppingen and Hungary<\/strong> reveals the enormous care with which each individual piece is manufactured. And it was precisely this precision that presented the company with a major challenge: how can the sensitive components be protected during production and transportation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where SSI SCH\u00c4FER Plastics comes into play - and with them a <strong>Customized packaging solution<\/strong>which helps M\u00e4rklin to almost completely eliminate transportation damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Craftsmanship meets packaging innovation: a partnership with history<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The passion for attention to detail is omnipresent at M\u00e4rklin. Lovingly handcrafted in the workshops <strong>Miniature works of art<\/strong>whose nostalgic design evokes memories of times gone by. It is precisely this elaborate manual work that brings with it a special challenge: the components must be transported undamaged through various stages of production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Before the collaboration<\/strong> With SSI SCHAEFER, this was a major challenge: sensitive paintwork was damaged and delicate parts suffered from mechanical stress. This not only meant higher reject rates, but also <strong>unnecessary costs and delays<\/strong> in production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The solution? A specially developed blue transport box that was tailored precisely to the requirements of M\u00e4rklin production. After two years of intensive development work, the time had come: <strong>A packaging solution that reduced transport damage to almost zero!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ssi-plastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/case-_maerklin_box_blue_ssi_containers_2-1024x683.png\" alt=\"M\u00e4rklin trains in individual packaging\" class=\"wp-image-20660\" style=\"width:501px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ssi-plastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/case-_maerklin_box_blue_ssi_containers_2-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/ssi-plastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/case-_maerklin_box_blue_ssi_containers_2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/ssi-plastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/case-_maerklin_box_blue_ssi_containers_2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/ssi-plastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/case-_maerklin_box_blue_ssi_containers_2-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/ssi-plastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/case-_maerklin_box_blue_ssi_containers_2-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/ssi-plastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/case-_maerklin_box_blue_ssi_containers_2-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/ssi-plastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/case-_maerklin_box_blue_ssi_containers_2.png 1981w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More protection, less damage: further development with foresight<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M\u00e4rklin and SSI SCHAEFER did not want to leave it at that. <strong>Standing still is not an option<\/strong>when it comes to further optimizing quality and efficiency. Following the successful introduction of the blue transport boxes, both companies set themselves a new challenge:<br>How can we further improve protection for M\u00e4rklin's steam locomotives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result: a new, yellow box with an innovative plug-in system that has been specially developed for these sensitive models. These boxes set new standards in terms of <strong>Safety, efficiency and sustainability<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Perfect fit<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Maximum protection<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Durable &amp; resource-saving<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">The plug-in system fixes each locomotive exactly in place.<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Even more sensitive parts remain undamaged.<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Reusable transport boxes save packaging material and reduce waste.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new yellow box is another example of the <strong>Innovative cooperation<\/strong> between M\u00e4rklin and SSI SCHAEFER.

M\u00e4rklin remains the world market leader for tin toys because the company not only sticks to the tried and tested, but is also open to new, smart solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do your products also need special protection?
