Elements of a Transport Packaging System

Our systems-based approach to transport packaging examines all of the elements affecting transport packaging costs. The main elements of a transport packaging system are:

the product being shipped
the primary and secondary packaging
the interface (pallet or platform)
the conditions under which the material will be handled

Integrating these systems into a unified solution provides a tremendous opportunity for improvement.

Integrated Packaging Systems

Most existing systems have been designed on a component by component basis. The packaging was developed to protect the product. The pallet was designed to carry the package. And the material handling equipment was most likely designed without any specific considerations for the pallet being utilized.

Cost savings opportunities can be found in virtually every transport packaging system when the interactions between the elements of the system (product, packaging, pallet, material handling equipment) are fully understood.
