Right-Size Your Packaging
Oversized boxes waste material and increase shipping costs. Invest time in measuring your products accurately and stock a range of box sizes. Many businesses save 20-30% by simply using appropriately sized packaging.
Bulk Purchasing Benefits
Ordering packaging materials in larger quantities significantly reduces per-unit costs. Partner with a reliable supplier who can offer volume discounts while maintaining consistent quality.
Optimize Void Fill
Expensive bubble wrap isn’t always necessary. Consider cost-effective alternatives like recycled paper, air pillows, or biodegradable packing peanuts. Match the protection level to your product’s fragility.
Streamline Your Process
Standardize packaging procedures to reduce labour costs and material waste. Train staff on efficient packing techniques and keep workstations organized with readily accessible materials.
Monitor and Adjust
Track packaging costs as a percentage of sales. Regular audits help identify waste and opportunities for improvement. Test new materials and methods on a small scale before full implementation.
