Christmas Advent Calendars
Challenge
This year DPD wanted to send a Christmas Advent calendar to their 23,000 employees, that’s a whole ‘lotta’ chocolate to produce! Not only are large quantity logistics complex to orchestrate, it’s also a challenge to ensure each calendar aligns with DPD’s brand values.
In short, the packaging should be sustainably sourced and the chocolate should ideally be made from palm oil free recipes. Then there’s the logistical feat of distributing the calendars to 143 DPD locations.
Solution
Our team are fully involved from the outset, visiting the supplier and taste testing the chocolate to provide an exceptional quality assurance service. This was a fun project to taste, that’s for sure!
Once the calendars are produced and delivered to Birch HQ, our fulfilment team are fully briefed on packaging requirements and locations for delivery. With 23,000 calendars to pack, label and transport, everything must run like clockwork. Two trailers were filled with over 50 pallets, with specified numbers for each of the 143 locations on the delivery list.

Working with the Birch team was a pleasure. When building a new store we needed a business partner who took away the headaches, and created solutions not problems. Birch managed to hit deadlines and produce high quality POS enabling us to get open on time and with a great looking store.
