Increase Productivity With Volume-Reduction Packing Solutions

With exponential increases in e-commerce orders, rising DIM weight charges and supply chain labor shortages, shippers need to innovate the packing area

Shipping has never been more challenging than it is today. Increasing productivity and providing exceptional customer experiences is imperative. Companies are finding it difficult to solve the current challenges in the packing arena, which include labor shortages, unnecessary DIM weight expenses and customer experience.

Overcoming these challenges isn’t easy, but shippers can reduce labor and parcel sizes while decreasing the use of shipping materials. Many e-commerce and third-party logistics (3PL) providers have turned to innovative packing solutions to address these key issues.

While there’s extensive data available about the benefits of smarter packing solutions, it’s not as simple as it appears. The packing function in distribution centers is vitally important, however for many years there have been few productivity gains. Due to continuous e-commerce growth and year-over-year increases in peak-season volume, this area demands attention—and action.
