Customer Notification: Introducing New QR Code Cards
Posted 23-06-29 19:38
The traditional A5 format Flyers
1. Handling HDC/DLC tips
will no longer be included in the shipments.
They will be replaced by smaller 8.5 x 5.5 cm cards with QR codes linking users to the same information.
There are no changes to the products, packaging size and material or
manufacturing location.
Why are we making this change?
This is part of our efforts to reduce nanotools carbon footprint.
The new cards help to
- Reduce transportation emissions (lighter shipments)
- Minimize waste at customer sites
