Internel - Efulfilment Europe

Think you're shipping sustainably? Look at the size of the box.
PPWR is changing how e-commerce should think about oversized boxes, empty space and packaging materials.
Paper instead of plastic is a good start. But if a small product still travels in a box three times its size, filled with paper to stop it moving around, there is another problem hiding in plain sight.

Most of us have opened a parcel like that. For e-commerce, it has been a fairly normal part of shipping for years. But the EU is now putting oversized packaging much more firmly on the agenda.

The new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) starts applying on 12 August 2026.

One point worth clarifying: this does not mean that every e-commerce parcel must suddenly comply with the widely mentioned 50% empty-space limit from next week. That requirement comes later. Under the regulation, e-commerce, grouped and transport packaging will eventually be limited to a maximum of 50% empty space, with the calculation methodology still to be defined by the European Commission.

There is another detail that matters in practice: filling the empty part of a large box with paper, bubble wrap or air cushions will not make the problem disappear. Under PPWR, filling material counts as empty space too.

So there is no reason for e-commerce businesses to panic in August. But there is a good reason to start looking at packaging differently.

- How many box sizes are you actually using?
- How often is a small SKU shipped in packaging that is much larger than necessary?
-How much filling material are you buying and using?
And could the same product be packed smaller without increasing the risk of damage?

Looking at this now can already help reduce packaging costs, simplify warehouse handling and avoid using more material than the order actually needs.

For a 3PL, packaging is not something we see once during a sustainability workshop. We see it order by order, every day. That makes the warehouse a pretty good place to find out where packaging can realistically be improved without compromising the product.

If you are reviewing your European fulfillment setup or want to understand how your current packaging works in real warehouse operations, talk to us at INTERNEL - the most sustainable 3PL in the CEE region.

𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 & 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐋
We are pleased to start a new cooperation with Evolve Fulfilment in the UK.

𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 is a UK fulfilment partner built for growing e-commerce brands that need flexible, hands-on operational support without unnecessary complexity. They support DTC, marketplace, retail and wholesale brands with order fulfilment, pick & pack, shipping, returns and value-added services, helping them keep stock moving, orders flowing and customers happy.

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐋 is an EU e-fulfilment partner based in Poland. From our Warsaw fulfilment centre, we support e-commerce brands with warehousing, pick & pack, shipping, returns and cross-border logistics across key European markets.

𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟?
Because UK–EU and EU–UK e-commerce still have strong potential, but the logistics setup has become more demanding.

For UK brands selling into the EU, shipping every parcel across the border is not always the best long-term solution. Stock closer to customers, local fulfilment, local returns and faster access to major EU markets can make a real difference.

And for EU brands looking towards the UK, having a trusted fulfilment partner on the UK side can open new possibilities as well.

With Evolve Fulfilment in the UK and Internel in the EU, we can help e-commerce brands build a more practical fulfilment setup on both sides of the border.

Two fulfilment specialists.
Two markets.
One stronger UK–EU and EU–UK fulfilment connection.

Moving a 3PL warehouse is not something you do casually.
For us, the most important point was clear from the beginning: the move must not disrupt the parcel flow of our clients.
That is why we planned it carefully and intentionally chose the end of April. In e-commerce, this is usually one of the calmer periods of the year.

Moving a fulfilment warehouse in November, for example, would be almost suicidal for a 3PL.
This short video shows our first days and part of our new Internel distribution centre in Warsaw.

The place is still not fully polished. Some areas are still being adjusted, some processes are being fine-tuned, and yes, it still looks a bit like a warehouse shortly after a big move.

But the important part is working:

- orders are being prepared, parcels are leaving, and couriers are already picking up at the gates.
For us, this move has been a real logistics adventure.
Planned carefully, executed step by step, and always with our clients’ parcel flow in mind, cos we are delivering happy customers.📦😉

Since 1 May 2026, the EU-Mercosur interim trade agreement has been applying provisionally.

That may sound like policy news, but for brands in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, it can have very practical consequences. For some businesses, Europe may now look more attractive commercially, with better market access, lower tariffs on selected goods and a clearer trade framework for expansion.

What the agreement does not solve is the operational side of entering the EU.

Products still need the right import setup. Stock needs to be placed in the right location. Delivery has to work across several European markets. Returns have to be handled without creating friction for the customer.

This is why companies entering Europe need more than market access. They need a strong and experienced logistics partner inside the EU.

At INTERNEL, we see Poland as a strategically important base for this step. It offers strong reach into Germany, access across Central and Eastern Europe, and the operational setup needed to support cross-border e-commerce inside the EU.

For Mercosur brands ready to move from interest to ex*****on, that means warehousing, fulfilment, shipping and returns managed from one reliable location inside Europe.

If your brand is preparing to enter the EU market, we will be happy to discuss how to set up the right logistics base in Europe.

📦 We are happy to share this announcement from our new U.S. partner, West Coast Prep 3PL 📦

For INTERNEL, this partnership is a practical step toward helping e-commerce brands plan fulfillment on both sides of the Atlantic. European brands can now look at U.S. expansion with a trusted local partner, while U.S. brands get a clearer route into Europe through our fulfillment base in Warsaw.

Looking forward to building this bridge together with West Coast Prep & 3PL

We’re excited to announce a new partnership between West Coast Prep 3PL and Internel, a leading European 3PL.

As more brands look to expand beyond the U.S., one thing becomes clear pretty quickly:

Global growth introduces a completely different level of operational complexity.

• International shipping slows everything down
• Costs increase quickly with cross-border fulfillment
• Inventory becomes harder to manage across regions
• And working with multiple providers creates disconnect

This partnership is built to simplify that.

By combining our U.S. infrastructure with Internel’s European fulfillment network, brands can now operate across both regions with a more unified and structured approach.

What this unlocks:
• Faster delivery across the U.S. and EU
• Lower shipping costs through localized inventory
• Better inventory visibility and positioning
• A fulfillment model that scales with your growth

Instead of stitching together multiple systems and providers, this creates a more coordinated way to operate globally.

If you’re currently selling internationally - or planning to - happy to walk through how this could fit into your setup.

Today is Earth Day, so we took a moment at INTERNEL to reflect on our journey towards becoming one of the most sustainable e-fulfilment providers in CEE.
It wasn’t always easy, but looking back, the challenges are now clearly outweighed by the advantages, not only for us as a 3PL, but especially for our clients, both current and future.
We worked with brands that positioned themselves as sustainable, especially in segments like natural cosmetics or dietary supplements. On their websites, sustainability was a core message. But when it came to fulfilment, the discussion quickly shifted to cents per box, cents per filler, cents per shipment. Some chose a cheaper, plastic-based solution. From their perspective, it was a simple decision. From the customer’s perspective, it often wasn’t.📦🛒💚
Looking at how the market is evolving today, that decision still makes sense. Customer expectations are changing, supply chains are under pressure, and long-term thinking is starting to play a bigger role than before. We, at INTERNEL, continue in this direction because it works in practice. It has become a natural part of how we operate, not something we need to explain or justify.

If you’re starting to rethink your packaging or focusing more on Gen Z expectations, let’s talk. We’re happy to share what works in practice.

That’s a number most e-commerce teams don’t expect to see when they think about packaging or delivery.

Sustainability is no longer something customers evaluate only on the product level. It shows up in small details across the whole buying experience. Packaging is one of the most visible ones. Too much plastic, oversized boxes, unnecessary fillers. These are the moments where the brand either feels aligned with the customer or slightly off. And for some customers, that’s enough to stop the purchase.

On the e-commerce side, the hesitation is still there. Sustainable packaging is often seen as more expensive or more complex to manage, especially at scale.*

We had the same questions years ago at INTERNEL. Switching to eco packaging required changes across the operation. New materials, different packing routines, adjustments in the process. It took time to get it right. But once it was in place, it became a natural part of how we work. Today, it is simply standard for us.

When you look at how customer expectations are evolving, this shift is already happening. Some brands are adjusting gradually, others will feel the impact later through conversion, returns, or brand perception.

If you are rethinking your packaging or fulfilment setup, INTERNEL is ready to share how we approached it and what works in practice.
