Trillora substantially reduced costs while strengthening the brand image for a global footwear company by infusing their packaging portfolio with high-quality design, creating significant savings, and making their packaging more eco-friendly.
Our customer is a fast-growing, exclusive, and innovative sports shoe producer in high demand from American and European end users.
Their shoeboxes had to withstand transport from Asia, where their footwear is produced, to Europe and the US. Ideally, they wanted to optimize their packaging for safe transport and redesign it to be attention-catching while keeping supply chain and packaging costs under control.
Our technical team reviewed the customer's entire supply chain in order to achieve improvements.
One area where we saw potential for improvement was in their shoe box design. Product packaging can have a big impact on the condition products arrive in after transit, and because they sell an exclusive product, our customer wanted to ensure the packaging and the product could make it through transit in good condition.
We designed three new and innovative boxes, proposed new manufacturing technologies that could improve the durability of the shoe box itself, and introduced new materials with the aim of reducing our customer’s costs.
The customer benefited from exceptional operational savings. Their TCO cost reduction alone yielded an impressive $1 million in savings just in the first year.
Additionally, the direct savings on the packaging spend were also significant due to the introduction of new production technologies and new processes, which resulted in over 20% direct savings on the overall yearly packaging spend.
If you’re shipping from factories in Asia and struggling with packaging-related costs and inefficiencies, Trillora Packaging Solutions can help guide you on a journey to better performance.
We’ve worked with many global brands to control freight costs, increase efficiency, reduce damage, and boost the customer experience.
