Packaging problem
A fulfillment center of bathroom appliances experienced a considerable amount of shipping issues with their products. Their toilets and sinks experienced damage during standard ground shipments and they wanted to fix the problem. Their original packaging process consisted of 40 square feet of foam air pillows that deflated by the time the shipments arrived at their destination. This made them shift to shipping everything LTL (Less than truckload). The real cost of damage.
Packaging solution
The SmartBagger foam packing system was installed with great success. To help protect the items, a two-inch pad was placed at the bottom of every container. Corner braces and a rising bag were also used with the foam materials. With the success of the foam system, the fulfillment system switched back from LTL to standard ground shipments. This produced a savings of 50% in freight costs. The smaller foam-in-place units allowed the company a 60% space reduction. This gave them more space for their packing stations and inventory.
