We just finished the packaging optimization project for the mechanical industry client. The new packaging will definitely decrease CO2 emission and the total supply chain cost for the client. Last Friday, we passed the “test”in the client’s office with this new packaging solution.
The new packaging replaced EPS with corrugated material, which would bring the client closer to its reduction target in the carbon emissions. In addition, the box is three times smaller than the old one with EPS. We can save approximately 50% supply chain cost for the client based on the calculation. Last but not least the packaging had passed the drop test with 20 kgs dropping from two meters’ high.
In conclusion, the client can benefit greatly from the new packaging including:
– Saving transport cost due to the box is smaller
– Increasing warehousing efficiency as corrugated materials can be folded or flatted so we can have up to 10 times more loaded on a pallet compared to EPS
– Reducing the carbon footprint
In our last video, we shared tips on selecting the right packaging test standards. But have you ever wondered: once the testing is done, how do you assess the results? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered in this episode!
Which packaging tests do we usually use? How do we test cardboard and pallets? How do we test packaging in simulated real-world shipping conditions? And what’s the deal with corporate standards? Let’s dive in and find out!
A well-known power equipment company needed to ship 42 tons of machinery to the U.S.—and fast. With just two weeks to get everything ready for sea freight, the pressure was on.
