In House Design and Samples for Shipping Boxes

Cost Management through Better Box Design

If you are using standard corrugated shipping boxes or have not reviewed your custom box design recently, you could be leaving money on the table. A well designed shipping box reduces cost in a number of ways.

Lower cost on corrugated boxes. A new box style or modification of the existing style can reduce the amount of material used to make the box – without sacrificing quality.

Lower cost on packaging materials. An efficient box design will reduce or eliminate the need for inner packaging materials such as polystyrene peanuts, bubble material, and dunnage paper. The savings can be dramatic, especially when converting from stock corrugated boxes that may be considerably over sized for the application.

Increased throughput. Reducing or eliminating inner packaging materials generally allows boxes to be packed more quickly. For large volume shippers, the increased efficiency can have a material bottom line impact. In many cases, packaging speed can be further accelerated by a simple design change allowing for faster closure and sealing.

Lower shipping costs. For full truckload and LTL shippers, even small changes in box dimensions can increase the number of boxes packed on a pallet and in a truck. For parcel shippers, changes in package size and weight can maximize shipping efficiency, often saving considerable expense.
