The Challenge: The Hidden Cost of "Good Enough"

As a European leader, Swappie had optimized its digital funnel but faced a critical friction point in the physical world: the "last mile" of used iPhone collection. Their standard packaging was functional, but the Product Owners had suspicions that there is  potential in packaging to increase the likelihood of trade-in.

The core challenge was not packaging, but customer psychology. Users with a valuable €300+ device felt a moment of anxiety when asked to ship it to be resold. A flimsy, generic package didn't inspire the confidence needed to complete the transaction.

This translated directly to lost revenue from high drop-off rates and a risk to brand perception at the most critical moment of trust.

Key Pains

  • Lost Revenue
  • Customer Anxiety
  • In-transit Damage Risk
  • Negative Brand Perception

The Solution: One Packaging, Designed to Collect all iPhone model

Swappie needed more than a box supplier, they had that already; they needed a partner to co-design a solution specifically for their use case. With RePack they launched a data-driven Conversion Pilot to prove the value of strategic packaging.

Step 1: Discovery & Needs Analysis

We didn't start with a box. We started with Swappie's data and their users' anxieties, mapping the customer journey from the user's home to the technician's bench.

Step 2: Co-Design & Prototyping

We designed a solution *with* them, focusing on simplicity for the user, durability for transit, and intake efficiency for the operations team.

Step 3: A/B Testing & Data Collection

We launched a structured pilot for a specific user segment, gathering real-world data to demonstrate ROI compared to other existing solutions. The results were undeniable across every market Swappie operates in.
