The right size for shipping boxes saves costs
Shipment of goods is booming and, with this, the “waste mountain” of packaging materials grows continuously – leaving behind perplexed and frustrated customers. The responsibility lies in the hands of the shipping party. Shipping boxes which adapt to the size of the shipment save costs, protect the environment and ensure satisfied customers
Shipping boxes protect the goods during transport. For traders or manufacturers with a large product range, the various combinations of all their available commodities produce a multitude of different pack dimensions. It is simply impossible to have the matching box in stock for every size of packed items. This is the reason why many suppliers use boxes in only two to three standard sizes. Inside the box, the goods are secured and protected with shrink film, air cushion packaging or other filling materials. But shipping in oversized packaging with masses of filling material not only pollutes the environment, it also costs money. On the one hand, the shipment is more expensive due to the price of the filling material and, on the other hand, the larger shipment volume increases costs. In the end, the customers will get annoyed because they will be required to grudgingly dispose of a pile of unordered packaging material at their own expense.
