or implant models. The printer's www.shining3ddental.com sustainable packaging materials, the packaging for VITA CAD/CAM
blocks and DISC products have been optimized.

CAD/CAM packaging
Starting in April 2024, the VITA CAD/CAM blocks will be gradually sup-
plied in standardized folding boxes. This optimization will reduce the
number of packaging variants from 12 to 6. The products will now be
differentiated by their unique labeling. The exceptions will be the VITA
YZ products over 55 mm, as well as VITA CAD-Waxx and VITA CAD-
Temp over 65 mm in height, which will continue to be available in spe-
cial packaging.
The new block packaging will no longer use foam inserts and will
rely instead on a cardboard cavity that offers the products optimized
protection. Instructions for use can be accessed digitally via QR codes
on the packaging, which will reduce paper consumption.

DISC packaging
Significant improvements have also been made to the DISC packaging.
Plastic foils and foam inserts have been replaced by environmentally
friendly cardboard and cellulose half-shells, which will result in a sig-
nificant reduction in waste. In addition, QR codes on the outer packag-
ing will promote the digital availability of instructions for use, which will
further reduce paper consumption.
The design of the new slipcases, which are now constructed as
closed boxes with a fold-out base, has also been updated and adapt-
ed to match the design of the block packaging. The products will also
be differentiated via labels, which will reduce the amount of packaging
to a minimum.
