Frequently Asked Questions
Packaging automation helps when labor constraints, rising order volumes, productivity goals, or operational bottlenecks limit growth.
Evaluating automation opportunities requires assessing current workflows, labor requirements, order volumes, packaging processes, order variability, product and package sizes, seasonal peaks, changeovers, available space, and business objectives. Shorr's automation specialists help identify solutions with measurable ROI that improve productivity, increase throughput, reduce labor dependence, and support operational scalability.
Right-sized packaging and smaller package dimensions can lower transportation costs by reducing unused space, decreasing dimensional (DIM) weight charges, improving trailer and container utilization, and reducing unnecessary material consumption.
Optimizing package dimensions can also reduce packaging waste and freight-related emissions while maintaining product protection. Shorr evaluates products, packaging configurations, and supply chain requirements to identify opportunities that improve both operational efficiency and sustainability performance.
Engineered packaging helps reduce product damage and damage-related returns by protecting products from impacts, vibration, compression, and movement throughout order fulfillment, shipping, and delivery.
Reducing damage requires the right combination of packaging materials, package design, load stability, and protective solutions. Because the customer experience goes beyond the product itself, packaging plays an important role in ensuring products arrive intact. Shorr helps businesses evaluate packaging performance and implement solutions that improve customer satisfaction, reduce return rates, and lower replacement and shipping costs.
High-volume fulfillment operations benefit from packaging solutions that increase throughput, improve consistency, reduce labor dependency, and scale with growing order volumes.
Common solutions for high-volume fulfillment and distribution centers include automated bagging systems, case erectors, carton sealers, void-fill systems, palletizing equipment, stretch wrappers, print-and-apply labeling systems, and right-sized packaging programs.
Scalable packaging programs support increasing order volumes, new product SKUs, additional fulfillment locations, and evolving customer expectations without creating operational complexity.
Shorr designs packaging strategies that improve consistency and support future growth. Our approach includes:
- Standardized packaging programs, including common materials
- Flexible packaging solutions that accommodate changing order volumes
