AXIUM PACKAGING LLC Revolutionizes Speaker Protection with Custom Grill Covers
New Albany, OH – October 26, 2023 – AXIUM PACKAGING LLC, a leading provider of custom packaging and protection solutions, is making waves in the audio industry with its innovative line of speaker grill covers. Based in New Albany, Ohio, AXIUM is known for tackling tricky packaging challenges and delivering solutions that not only protect products but also enhance brand aesthetics. And their new speaker grill covers are a prime example of that commitment. For years, manufacturers of high-end speakers, portable Bluetooth speakers, soundbars, and even automotive audio systems have wrestled with the same problem: how to protect delicate speaker components during shipping and handling without adding significant cost or compromising the look and feel of the final product. Standard solutions often meant bulky foam, easily damaged cardboard, or unsightly plastic wraps. AXIUM PACKAGING saw an opportunity to do better. “We were getting a lot of requests for something more… elegant, frankly,” explains Sarah Miller, Head of Product Development at AXIUM. “Companies were tired of sacrificing presentation for protection. They wanted something that looked good right out of the box, and that's what we delivered.” More Than Just Protection: A Focus on Brand Enhancement AXIUM’s speaker grill covers aren't just about preventing dents and scratches. They’re designed to be an integral part of the unboxing experience. Made from a range of materials – including woven fabrics, non-woven textiles, and even perforated metal options – these covers offer a premium feel and reinforce the quality of the speaker inside. “We’ve worked with clients across the audio spectrum,” says Mark Johnson, Sales Director at AXIUM. “From boutique amplifier builders to massive consumer electronics brands. The common thread? They all want to make a statement with their packaging. These covers help them do that.” Customization is Key AXIUM understands that one size definitely doesn’t fit all. That's why they specialize in custom solutions. Here’s how they’re approaching speaker grill cover design: Material Selection: AXIUM offers a broad palette of materials, each with its own unique properties. Woven fabrics provide a sophisticated look and feel, while non-woven options are cost-effective and offer excellent protection. Perforated metal provides robust protection with a modern aesthetic. They can even incorporate specialized coatings for water resistance or UV protection. Design Flexibility: Forget basic, boxy covers. AXIUM’s design team works closely with clients to create covers that perfectly match the shape and style of their speakers. This includes custom cutouts for buttons, ports, and other features. They handle everything from simple form-fitting sleeves to complex multi-panel designs. Branding Opportunities: Logos, patterns, and even full-color graphics can be seamlessly integrated into the covers using various printing and embroidery techniques. This creates a powerful branding opportunity right at the point of purchase and reinforces brand recognition. Sustainable Options: AXIUM is committed to sustainability and offers a range of eco-friendly materials, including recycled fabrics and biodegradable packaging. This allows clients to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on quality or protection. Prototyping & Testing: Before full-scale production, AXIUM creates physical prototypes to ensure the covers meet the client's exact specifications and provide optimal protection during shipping and handling. They also conduct rigorous testing to ensure durability and performance. Addressing Specific Industry Challenges AXIUM’s speaker grill covers are proving to be particularly popular in several key areas: Portable Bluetooth Speakers: These speakers are often subjected to rough handling during shipping and retail display. AXIUM’s covers provide a layer of protection against scratches, dents, and other damage. The covers also add a touch of premium feel, justifying the higher price point often associated with these devices. Soundbars: Soundbars are increasingly popular, but their large size and delicate grilles make them vulnerable to damage. AXIUM’s custom-fit covers provide comprehensive protection and enhance the unboxing experience. High-End Audio Equipment: For audiophiles and serious music enthusiasts, presentation is everything. AXIUM’s covers elevate the perceived value of high-end speakers and amplifiers, reinforcing the brand's commitment to quality. Automotive Audio: Protecting speakers during assembly and installation in vehicles requires robust and durable solutions. AXIUM’s perforated metal covers provide excellent protection against impact and abrasion. Beyond Speakers: A Versatile Solution While initially designed for speaker protection, AXIUM’s grill cover technology is proving to be surprisingly versatile. The company is now exploring applications in other industries, including: Lighting Fixtures: Protecting delicate glass or plastic components during shipping and installation. Ventilation Systems: Protecting grilles from damage and debris. Electronics Enclosures: Providing a protective layer for sensitive components.
