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), and the conditions under which the material will be handled.
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.
Integrating these systems into a unified solution provides a tremendous opportunity for improvement. 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.
