What is the secret to success for the 100 most sustainable companies in the United States? While we don’t have all of the answers, we can share one trade secret that at least one-third of these companies are implementing in their warehouses today: right-sized packaging logistics automation with Packsize.
On Demand Packaging® may not be a common household term, but for any business that is packing and shipping goods, it is the one thing that can instantly have a positive effect on sustainability and provide savings impacts to their packaging process, bringing them to the next level. But what is it about Packsize that makes leaders in sustainability choose them to implement Right-Sized Packaging On Demand® in their warehouses? In this article, we will discuss how companies who are investigating logistics automation can get started by implementing Packsize On Demand Packaging solutions in their own warehouses.
Packsize is a mission-driven company, focused on creating a healthier planet by reducing the environmental impact of packaging logistics. This aligns with many businesses ESG goals to reduce their carbon footprint. In many states and countries, environmental legislation around packaging is beginning to go into effect. Packsize can help companies get ahead of this by implementing Right-Sized Packaging On Demand in their distribution centers.
Right-sized packaging reduces environmental impact in several ways:
It’s important to remember that packaging solutions are not one-size-fits-all (just like a few sizes of stock boxes are not going to fit all of your products). When businesses are looking for an On Demand Packaging solution, they need to work with a company that can analyze their specific needs and easily integrate into their packaging process flow or work with integrators on new flows. This is Packsize’s bread and butter. With the largest portfolio of right-sized packaging automation solutions in the industry, they are able to customize solutions to fit any workflow.
This give and take partnership with clients is exactly what has led Packsize to be at the forefront of right-sized packaging innovation. They’ve been the first to market for several of their solutions. For example, the Packsize X5® is the first and only fully-automated erected box system and is the perfect solution for companies that need to increase throughput to meet high demand. Packsize’s product offerings allow them to adapt to any workflow and meet packaging needs for every industry, while reducing costs and lessening the environmental impact of packaging and shipping. Packsize also works closely with integrators and 3PLs to ensure that their packaging solutions are accessible, no matter what your packaging warehouse looks like.
Packsize is more than just the leading manufacturer of right-sized packaging automation. They also have the largest Corrugated Z-Fold® supply network in North America. One of the greatest benefits Packsize customers experience is exclusive access to that supply chain.
What is Z-Fold? Z-Fold is the name for the bulk sheets of corrugated cardboard that are trimmed into right-sized boxes. It earned its name from the zig-zag shape that it forms when being processed and fed into Packsize’s On Demand Packaging machine systems. Z-Fold corrugated bales are customizable and can be narrowed down to just a few sizes based on a company’s average order size and volume, allowing for optimized material usage and minimal trim waste. Packsize will also analyze product profiles to understand the best size bale for each customer.
What makes Z-Fold so great? Besides the environmental benefits of using Z-Fold, it’s also more affordable. Stock boxes can be expensive, even when ordering in bulk. Z-Fold is affordable and businesses can guarantee they are paying for just what they need – no more and no less. Plus, by cutting Z-Fold down to the exact size box needed for each order, businesses can ensure they are getting the most out of it, so there is no wasted space or material, directly affecting a company’s environmental impact. And finally, by right-sizing, companies are able to reduce or eliminate the need for void fillers, such as bubble wrap and packaging peanuts, cutting their costs even more.
The best part of ordering Z-Fold through Packsize, is that businesses can guarantee they are getting high-quality corrugated exactly when they need it. Packsize Z-Fold holds a greater than 99% high-quality corrugated ranking (based on defective square feet per million). Packsize also has a 99% on-time delivery execution, with order fulfillment in just 4-5 days. Even more important is that Packsize corrugated material is formulated to provide optimal efficiency performance on right-sizing equipment, far reducing unnecessary automation stoppages or concerns related to glue and label adherence. Best of all, the quality box material can be reused and recycled.
Packsize considers themselves more than just a business selling a product. They aim to be a true partner in packaging, working with their customers to drive mutual KPIs so their businesses can grow and scale with their On Demand Packaging solution. One of the ways Packsize partners closely with their customers is by providing ongoing expert support and service.
Packsize equipment performance is best in class. However, if anything does happen to go wrong, the 24/7 customer service hotline is just a phone call away, and 94% of issues are typically able to be resolved remotely, in just a few minutes. For some solutions, such as the X5, Packsize will hire and train a machine expert to work on-site with the customer, so if something does go down, they are always available to step in and get things moving again.
Packsize also has shared goals with their customers. Their solutions provide a more cost-effective way to manage packaging logistics automation, saving businesses time and money. Right-size packages cut down on wasted corrugated and often eliminate the need for void fillers, saving on material costs. Right-size packages also take up less space on trucks, reducing dim weight and shipping charges by allowing more orders to go out on a single truck. And automation increases throughput, meaning while you are saving money on your packaging, you are also moving more orders through the warehouse, faster, so you can increase your revenue.
