Ahead of Launch, Amazon Chooses Hadera Paper as Its Official Packaging Supplier in Israel
May 16, 2019 - Weeks after Amazon announced it will be launching operations in Israel, the company has selected an official packaging supplier for the company's activities in the country, according to a news story posted on CTech, a website operated by Israel's leading financial daily, Calcalist. Tel Aviv-listed paper manufacturer Hadera Paper Ltd. has been chosen as Amazon's local packaging supplier, one person familiar with the matter told Calcalist on condition of anonymity. According to the May 12 story, Hadera Paper senior executives had recently received training at Amazon's headquarters in Seattle concerning the company's packaging standards, the person said. The permit granted to Hadera Paper includes the manufacturing of cardboard packaging for Israeli Amazon sellers, authorization for digital printing on packaging cartons, and the production of a new box prototype. In April, Amazon invited Israeli merchants already active on its platform “to register to reach customers in Israel.” As a first step, sellers will operate on a dedicated Amazon website but will be personally responsible for shipping and logistics, the story said.
