Sometimes, quality and uniformity are everything − especially when it comes to packaging. Trillora Packaging Solutions helped a global apparel company, with production in China and sales all over the world, to achieve substantial cost savings with an optimized transport packaging system. 

Our team made boxes lighter and stronger, resulting in less waste throughout the supply chain and significant operational savings. Trillora’s team was there all the way – from idea to implementation.

When paying for transportation, what you’re really buying is space on a ship, airplane, or truck. The weight and size of your packaging are crucial factors in freight rates, depending on the mode of transport.

The goal, then, is to design packaging to fit the products inside as efficiently as possible. The better and more efficiently you pack your products by optimizing space and reducing air in each package, the more packages you can stack into a container.

Packages endure multiple sources of stress during shipment. Designing packaging that can withstand an international supply chain is a challenging task.

Experienced supply chain professionals understand the types of damage that may occur to a package and the root causes of this damage. Although some amount of stress may be unavoidable, proactive planning and testing can minimize the amount of damage that occurs to packages during transit.

Efficient management of distribution centers (DCs) helps apparel brands reduce inventory costs and distribution costs. Warehouse efficiencies can be achieved through a combination of methods, including process improvements, automation, and optimized packaging.
