A perfect solution for every task
We specialize in producing customized plastic packaging solutions that cater to the unique needs of each customer. The individual solutions we offer protect our customers’ products, save space during transportation and storage, and align perfectly with even the most demanding requirements.
Whether you need custom packaging for automotive parts, pharmaceuticals, intralogistics, electronics, or any other industry, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality, tailored solutions that exceed your expectations.
Individual solutions based on standard products
Tasks based on individual customer requirements can sometimes be solved by the modification of our standard products. However, they often require totally new ideas and solutions.
Utz products can be customized providing you with containers, pallets and trays tailored to your processes. The benefits of which can be, for example, reduced fuel costs and damage reduction.
When reusable packaging is tailored to your company's needs not only does it become an integral part of your logistics processes, but the payback is significant.
One-stop shop – from concept to product
Utz creates customized, smart solutions starting with the initial idea right through to the finished product. Engineering, sales and production work together to achieve this. Our experienced customer solution advisors, all with specific industry knowledge, will talk to you through feasible concepts and solutions. By taking a concept from design to full production you will benefit from Utz technical knowledge, design, raw materials and tooling to gain full production optimization.
Bespoke products – matched perfectly
With the help of various analysis methods, we calculate components digitally and subject them to various real-life simulations. This permits the simulation of load calculations and applications as well as the flow behavior of the plastics, which significantly shortens development and test cycles. Practical feasibility is simulated during the design phase.
From design to product
The idea and 3D modelling
We match your requirements with our know-how and proven methods to assemble your product. We use CAD and 3D modelling so in a short time you will see the first drafts of your solution.
Rapid prototypes and model construction
With accurate models and rapid prototypes, we can produce a tangible product likeness early in the process, allowing highlighting of details and accuracy at an early stage. This not only saves time but lessens the need for costly tool modifications later. As the customer, you will have the final say.
Utz product in series production
At Utz, we design the tools for series production ourselves per customer requirements. No matter whether you need 10,000 or 1 million parts, our qualified Utz employees know the right tool concept, without any need to compromise on quality.

Box for the transport of ball bearings
High-quality ball bearings of various sizes are transported in this re-usable container. Individually adjustable eccentric elements are used to fit the ball bearings securely into the container.
Container for gaskets
This container is used to transport cylinder head gaskets for engines by inserting a base with holes into a RAKO. Steel pins matching the openings in the gaskets are inserted into the ground with the gaskets placed on top.
Engine frame
A simple solution for transporting cylinder heads to the assembly line: the parts are placed onto the free layer of the frame and locked with stoppers. The cylinder heads are removed at the assembly line and de-stacked layer by layer. The entire unit is placed on an UPAL-H ISO pallet.
Containers for chemical cleaning
Technical parts are cleaned in washing baskets, exposed to high temperatures of up to 100 degrees, immersed in a chemical bath or stressed in other ways. In the past, this could often only be solved with metal containers which are usually heavy and difficult to handle.
Trays
Trays are containers without sidewalls. They are suitable for internal storage and automatic handling of various merchandise and can feature excavation shafts for lifting the conveyed goods.
Plastic totes for order picking
The central element in order picking in the warehouse and during transport to the customer or back to the warehouse is a container optimally adapted to the logistics need.
Modular packaging solutions
With a combination of precise component holders, containers, and pallets, we create the right individual transport unit for our clients' specific products.
Modular manufacturing concepts, high-precision machining, proprietary materials and the latest marking technology allow for maximum variant diversity.
Modern thermoforming
Utz component holders are designed for automated part removal and digital integration into the customer's processes. Utz basic frame concepts can be adapted to the packaging solution of their parts with little effort. All 8 Utz sites use uniform standards for thermoform tray design. Utz trays can thus be combined in a modular way.

Curbside pickup at supermarkets with DOLLYFIX – a flexible transport system
Online shopping continues its lead in the consumer goods industry. New challenges are therefore constantly arising in retail’s “last mile". With curbside pick-up at many supermarkets, customer orders are automatically assembled and made available for collection at the selected time. When empty, containers are stacked inside of each other, resulting in 70 percent space saving.
The DOLLYFIX concept is the perfect answer to completely new types of processes in semi-automatic curbside supermarkets and has been successfully implemented by several customers.
The All Encompassing - GS1 SMART-Box packaging concept
Efficiency comes from standardization and modularity. Based on a precise supply chain analysis of various producers and retailers from the pharmacy sector and GS1 Germany, Utz has developed a new packaging concept: “GS1 SMART-Box”.
With the help of this new family of collapsible containers, handling costs can be minimized from production to the point of sale, saving on disposable packaging. The container system offers the following benefits: volume-optimized return, automated load handling, concise size options, digital recognition, transport locking and numerous other features. This enables customers to cut their process costs by more than 40 percent and at the same time reduce their CO2-footprint by up to 80 percent.
The Utz ECOBIN: An award-winning workplace container with many functions
The Böllhoff Group is one of the world's leading manufacturers and distributors of fastening elements and assembly systems.
