​​Platform To Its ICO Database

October/November 2018 hails new beginnings for Open Packaging Network! Not only have we announced OPN pre-registration and Early Bird Entry Campaign, we are also enjoying increased publicity and recognition. On November 1st, an established source for cryptocurrency guides, news and ICO reviews CoinElitist.com has added OPN Platform to its ICO Database.

“Multiple factors are taken into consideration when evaluating the project including product vision, social presence, as well as team profile and experience”, - says Raymond K. Carter, Senior Editor at CoinElitist.com. “After carefully reviewing the project, we concluded your ICO has good qualities and decided to publish it on our website”.

“Linking to the listing has the potential to increase OPN Platform exposure and draw in more investors as well as connecting both communities, ” - he added.

​​How OPN Ensures Quick Payments

Any questions? Our team is always there for you, on our Telegram official channel.

One of the features of potentially successful ICO is the ability of a project in question to address an issue and offer a realistic solution. Below, we will talk about how ONP Platform tackles one of the biggest pains of packaging industry: payment issues.

As of today, a lot of people across the world realize the value of packaging industry, its impact on economy and society and its transformative potential. The global Packaging Industry is a $900 Billion business, involved in nearly all production and manufacturing operations around the globe. The sector is now a pioneer in adopting global mega trends - green packaging and the emerging technologies of the 4th Industrial Era: 3-D printing, robotics and IoT.

What non-insiders are seldom aware of is the fact that packaging industry is continuously being plagued my a number of problems that are capable of bringing forth lots of complications and challenges and, ultimately, could result in revenue losses, especially for SMB companies. These major problems are :

- Demand Forecasting for manufacturers;

- Quality and Accuracy;
- Transparency and Trust;
- Low Credit Facilities;
- Sustainable Packaging;

and, last but not least, payment issues.

Here’s what OPN Whitepaper says, regarding continuous payment delays most small and medium packaging companies are experiencing on a regular basis:

No matter the internal or external cause, indeed, late payments are the main cause for poor supplier performance, deteriorating business and personal relationships and increasing prices. Except for dramatic circumstances — that are often about less than the 2% of the cases — it’s merely a matter of disrespect: “live-with-it-if-you-want-to-keep-on-doing-business-with-us” is the underlying policy of many big buyers, that tend to stretch the payments as long as possible to improve their cash flow and have more bargain power, without bearing in mind that this is the first cause of disruption in the supply chain system, above all for medium and small sized companies, that will be devoid of cash for a long period of time.

Industry insiders may only shrug their shoulders – that’s the way thing always were and, probably, will be. But not with OPN.

Great news for everyone! For the first weeks, ​​Daily bonus for token sale is 25%!!!
Visit http://www.opnplatform.io to Contribute!

Thanks for your support

We will do our best.

Even though we are based in Europe and have worked for many years in the region, it is clear that we cannot rule out Asia ( China #2 in packaging) and even America, as well as Africa (an emerging market in PACKAGING), to create a global brand on blockchain, we are venturing into all these continents in order to bring the whole packaging ecosystem in the world to our platform. That is why, right now, because of our expansionist plan, We have a Korean community, Chinese community and working on Japanese community right now. More regions are coming.

Thanks for your amazing support. The OPN team appreciates.

If ETH chain scalability issues persists, we are planning to have our own chain. Thus, if that happens, Our mainet will be OPN blockchain that will utilize OPK tokens and not ethereum blockchain.  But for now we use Ethereum blockchain.

OPN platform will be structured to optimum scalability/integrability options including  means that will make transactions on the platform as simple and convenient as possible. If Including fiat and visa options can add to expand our market base, we might consider the option as well.

Yes there is plan for that and ofcus OPK token also, since we are intended to be a tokenized platform.

Very much appreciated. Thanks for your contribution.

Ofcus we are here for the long run. And we are working tirelessly hard to make the platform a monumental success.

Thanks for your support

If its done to sabotage the system, they will be penalized by charging them in tokens. If not done to sabotage the system, they will be charged just negligible transaction fee.

Please make your question clear. Thanks

Century-old logistic colossus USP converted to Blockchain

“There may be scenarios in which it is advantageous for various logistics service providers to transport the shipment unit along different legs/segments from its origin to its destination. However, it may be difficult to coordinate the transportation of the shipment unit through the various logistics service provider transportation networks. Moreover, if there are special handling requirements for transporting the shipment unit, it may be difficult to ensure that the special handling requirements are carried through by each of the various logistics service providers that may assist in transporting the shipment unit.”

This is what is read in a note, published last Thursday by the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO), which explains the decision of the delivery giant to switch to Blockchain and DLT (distributed ledger technology) to route packages throughout an international supply chain that may include multiple carriers.

United Parcel Service (UPS) is a Georgia based multinational package delivery and supply chain management company, founded way back in 1907 — when deliveries still were made on foot and, only for longer trips, on bicycles — which now counts almost 440,000 employees worldwide, over 105,000 vehicles, a revenue of 65.872 billion (2017) and three main divisions and subsidiaries, its cargo airline (UPS Airlines), freight-based trucking operation (UPS Freight, formerly Overnite Transportation), and retail-based packing and shipping centers (The UPS Store).


But why a century-old authority in the logistic system decided to change course and rely on the disrupting power of blockchain technology?

The main answer is probably that, within the current system it is still difficult to coordinate logistics for shipments that involve more than one logistics service provider transportation network: the patent application, which UPS originally filed on Feb. 16, could help streamline package delivery logistics across a global supply chain. While shipping logistics providers have, indeed, become quite adept at optimizing package routing to increase efficiency and minimize costs, UPS aims to tackle this problem with an autonomous system that, in some embodiments, uses an immutable blockchain ledger to automatically route packages through multiple logistics service provider networks.

First of all, OPN gives no assurances or promises on ROI. Any project that does that is obviously a big red flag. That said, OPN has a solid foundation base in packaging and blockchain which is traceable to our registered company in Zug Switzerland and our MVP that will be available before our ICO plus structured roadmap plan for the testnet and Mainet OPN platform.
