Packaging Ideas for Surviving a Weak Economy

While the U.S. economic picture has improved since Q1 2009,  conditions continue to be sluggish and the outlook

remains unclear. Because our business depends on the production and shipment of industrial and consumer products, we are doing everything we can to assist our customers in every way possible.

Improve Package Design, Reduce Packaging Waste, Increase Productivity, Streamline Operations

New product design. Our Packaging Design Centers are fully equipped to assist you in developing new secondary packaging designs to reduce damage, increase shipping efficiency, reduce packaging waste, and improve productivity.

Reduce packaging and packaging waste. Because of economic conditions and heightened sensitivity to our

environment, shippers and receivers of packaged materials have little tolerance for excessive packaging. Our emphasis on Eco-Sensibility™ means that we provide you packaging options that balance economy with ecology, whether your need is corrugated boxes, void fill and cushioning materials, box sealing tape, pallet stretch wrap, or other types of secondary packaging materials. 

Increase productivity. Our STAMP Packaging Management Team conducts comprehensive packaging audits to uncover opportunities to improve packaging automation, inventory management, material handling, product performance, and procurement. If business has slowed, now could be the ideal time to review your packaging from A to Z.

Streamline procurement. For firms with multiple production and distribution facilities, maintaining packaging procurement efficiency and standardization can be extremely challenging tasks. Shorr's National Accounts Team will work with you on the corporate and facility level to design and implement packaging compliance and national packaging programs. Customers have found our programs to be enormously helpful in reducing packaging cost, standardizing shipping products and procedures, and improving overall packaging quality.

Don't let a slow economy slow you down. Let's talk about ways to take cost out of your packaging ... and put value in.
