Existing packaging optimization
Achieve maximum cost-effectiveness
According to the Joint Industry Unsaleables Report, improper packaging is responsible for a 2% loss in companies’ net sales. This loss originates in incorrect assessment of packaging needs, frequently resulting in under or over-packaging.
Following a certified scientific methodology based on simulations and adapted to your environment, our laboratory experts determine the optimization point of your packaging process and implement the best solution.
Measurable Benefits
Advantages of addressing an under-packaging issue:
- Fewer losses related to damaged merchandise or late delivery
- Lower return shipping costs
- Increased productivity and profitability
- Guaranteed coverage of your merchandise by major carriers
- Protected brand image
Advantages of addressing an over-packaging issue:
- Considerable cost reductions
- Increased productivity and profitability
- Less waste of resources (packaging components, labour, energy, etc.)
- Reduced carbon footprint (less waste generated)
