In-transit damage costs business owners and product managers ‘millions of pounds each year’. (Warehouse News)
Not only does in-transit damage cost your business money, but it also damages your reputation.
Broken products mean unhappy customers and increasing costs in 2023.
So how can you avoid in-transit damage? Here’s our quick guide:
- By understanding well-designed packaging. Fit for purpose in the correct materials and the board grades you need.
- By tailoring your packaging specifically to your product. Fitted packaging minimises movement during transit, reducing the likelihood of damage.
- By sealing boxes securely. Securely sealed boxes maintain their structural integrity, reducing the risk of damage from accidental openings or exposure to external elements.
- The correct palletisation of finished products. Palletising can help reduce movement in transit and avoid problems when loading and unloading the products.
Working with partners who understand the intricacies of your products will significantly reduce the likelihood of damage, reduce costs and enhance your customers’ experience.
