Exploring innovative techniques that directly impact

costs like re-usability and space optimization to

minimise costs pressure in packaging

Cost Savings with Reusable Packaging and Space Optimization

Reusable packaging after a more sustainable alternative to single-use

packaging. There is wide experience with reusable packaging systems in
selected markets.

Space efficiencies: Standardized design optimize stacking efficiency,

for higher transport and storage space utilization – both empty and filled
with product.

Labor efficiencies: Designed to optimize both manual and mechanical

handling (i.e. forklifts) reusable packaging reduces the time needed to
perform supply chain activities.

Product protection: Sturdy reusable packaging reduces product

damage during transit and handling, and ventilation helps keep perishable
items fresher.

Lower packaging costs: The extended life of reusable packaging

(measured in years) results in lower cost per use than single-use-
packaging.

Safety: Reusable packaging eliminates hazards such as box cutting,

staples, exposed, nails, or packaging debris that can lead to injuries.

Reduced packaging waste: Reusable generates less waste than

single-use-packaging, resulting in lower disposal fees and labor.
The four reuse models

Cut costs by making compact products

Supplying refills for reusable containers in highly concentrated from
reduces transport cost by upto 90% for example, Blueland offers window
cleaning detergent in tablet form.

Build brand loyalty with deposit and reward schemes

Deposit and reward schemes for reusable packaging can increase brand
loyalty for example, Repack reward customers with discount vouchers for
online shopping when the return their reusable E-commerce packaging.

Determining low weight substitutes and weight

optimization techniques for rigid and flexible to
reduce cost of packaging
Reducing costs and waste with flexible packaging

Packaging strategists are conformed with many challenges two of the

biggest being. Having a packaging product that’s high quality cost-effective
and environmental conscious is a tough balance to achieve.

Sustainable flexible packaging can help brands and packaging

manufactures realize the global mentioned above and more.

Recyclable options: Films made from linear low density polyethylene

(LLDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) are recyclable via select
locations. Aside from being a great source for high-barrier protection, these
lightweight films are strong resistant and feature ideal properties for safe,
eco-friendly packaging.

Compostable Materials: Many flexible packaging pouches are

manufactured with compostable materials that make the most out of all
available resources to optimize energy usage and reduce waste and with
the added durability flexible packaging provides for both dry and liquid
packaging.

Rigid and Flexible to reduce cost of packaging

 Analyze your current inventory of product packaging

 Identify similar items that could be grouped together
 Identify infrequently used packaging materials and group them together
 Reduce several packaging lines into a few, highly optimized packaging
lines. Rather then a dispersed, decentralized process, your facility will
reduce labor costs by minimizing unnecessary movement and
accomplish more by speeding up the packaging process.

Reduce the amount of packaging time with automation

Will cutting your unit costs drastically compromise your packaging quality,
the good news is there is another effective method for reducing costs
boasting productivity by cutting down on packing times.
An automated packaging line will improve your operations in
following ways

Increased output : Automation speed up your packaging process, making

your business more profitable

Optimize packaging by using smaller boxes: To reduce packaging

costs, you’ll need to think about reducing shipping costs as well.

Stay tuned to packaging industry innovations: Changes in the

packaging industry particularly for changes related to your sector, whether
it’s food, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals. The packaging industry invest in
research and development to design products that are more durable,
lightweight, secure and environmentally friendly.

All of these add up to cost savings. More durable packages reduce the
probability of transit damage lightweight packaging limits.
