Packaging as a Service (PaaS): A New Era of Powder Bagging – Without Capital Investment
Maximum efficiency, full cost control, and reliable supply: With our new PaaS model, we are simplifying industrial powder bagging like never before.
In an industry where capital expenditures often tie up significant resources, GREIF-VELOX is breaking new ground: With Packaging as a Service (PaaS), we now offer a fully integrated bagging solution – with zero upfront investment. Instead, customers receive an all-inclusive service package at a predictable monthly rate.
What is Packaging as a Service (PaaS)?
Our PaaS offering includes everything needed for secure, efficient, and reliable powder bagging – from machine provision and maintenance to spare parts and tailored paper bags. This turns high initial costs (CAPEX) into transparent, plannable operational expenses (OPEX).
In short, you benefit from:
- No capital investment required
- Fixed monthly rate with full service
- Maintenance, support, and spare parts included
- Digital services and remote support
- Reliable supply of SAFEDyVac bags – tailored to the machine
Perfect for ultra-light powders: Efficiency meets process reliability
The first rollout of this model is paired with our proven VeloVac vacuum technology, specially designed for dust-free, highly compact bagging of ultra-light powders such as Carbon Black, Fumed Silica, Pigments and Pesticides. This offers our customers up to 75% lower storage costs and 2.5 times faster filling speeds compared to conventional solutions.
Additional benefits include:
- Digital integration for better production planning (OEE)
- VeloXpert remote service for rapid support via secure connection
- Automated spare parts replenishment from consignment stock
- Up to 40% less bag material thanks to SAFEDyVac technology
Flexibility without the risk
Today, more than ever, companies need to be agile – without compromising on quality or uptime. That’s why we developed our PaaS model.
“Many companies are looking for ways to structure costs more flexibly and maintain plant availability,” explains our Managing Director Sebastian Pohl. “Our PaaS model turns major upfront costs into predictable monthly payments – while reducing the operational burden of maintenance, spare parts, and consumables. That frees up our customers to focus on what matters most: their core business.”
