Identifying
Opportunities to Reduce per Package Costs
When was the last time you looked at the cost effectiveness of your current packaging methods? If your business is like many – too busy with getting orders out the door – your packaging costs may be higher than they should be.
For most businesses, the following factors impact the overall cost of each package shipped:
• Materials – boxes, protective packaging, void fill, tapes & labels
• Labor
• Shipping Charges – inbound for materials & outbound for parcels
• Storage and materials handling
• Damage returns
Any potential for an overall cost reduction in your current packaging methods begins with an accurate analysis of actual per package costs that takes into consideration some or all of these factors.
As an example, by utilizing packaging techniques that take advantage of Geämi’s effective cushioning properties, items can be protected by blocking and bracing them in a shipping box. Many times this packaging technique can eliminate the need for void fill, which can reduce the amount of materials and labor required per package. Additionally this can lead to potentially smaller shipping boxes, decreased package weight, lower outbound shipping charges and reduced carbon footprint.
