Improve packaging

Move more product in fewer trucks.

Transportation efficiency comes from the shape, stack and weight of what you ship, not from any single component.

The same product can ship in packaging that cubes out a trailer at very different rates depending on how it nests, stacks and palletizes.

Nesting and collapsing

Conical drums, collapsible bulk containers and knocked-down carton IBCs reduce the volume of empties returning or being stored, which frees trailer and warehouse space.

Cube utilisation

Container height, footprint and stacking configuration decide how much of a trailer's cube is actually used. Small dimensional changes can add a layer to a load.

Pallet patterns

The pallet footprint and column pattern determine how many units fit per truck. We check whether your current pattern is leaving space on the floor or in the air.

Weight and empty-return cost

Lighter packaging raises the payload you can move under a weight limit; a returnable container that is cheap to ship home may still beat a lighter single-trip option over a full cycle.
