Could Bespoke Boxes Improve Packing Processes?

A recent article in Manufacturing & Logistics Magazine, suggests that streamlining packing processes could be a way to improve efficiency, cut costs and reduce environmental impact.

In 3 Ways to Simplify your Packing Process the author suggests:

Investing in professionally printed labels.

This is a time-saving option, which ensures that essential product information is readable and scannable. This is especially important for sharing information about regulated products or export goods.

Whether printed packaging or printed labels, a professional-quality finish reflects positively on your brand.

Automating the packing process.

Some elements of the process may need to be manual, however, the article recommends streamlining standard, repetitive tasks. Automation may support round the clock activity, helping you to get more orders processed each day.

Upgrading packaging.

A major advantage of bespoke boxes is that they can speed up the packing process. If the packaging design includes insets for goods to slot into, or are designed to negate the need for fillers, packing is less time-consuming. Bespoke boxes, designed to fit your product, may also help to cut delivery costs.

As a growing number of consumers are switching to sustainably packaged goods, looking for viable alternatives to plastic packaging (including fillers) is another reason to upgrade. Reusable, recyclable or biodegradable packaging will reduce your company’s environmental impact and could save you from paying plastic tax.

Whether you are a manufacturer or e-commerce business, streamlining the packing process could reduce the time, financial and environmental costs of order processing.
