Learn how an integrated approach to designing shipping cases can lead to significant reduction in logistics costs. With both parcel carriers and LTL carriers now charging on the basis of dimensional weight, inefficient packaging and ineffective loading of trucks and containers is hurting many shippers financially. The biggest benefit comes to shippers who apply packaging optimization across their entire supply chain including imported products, self-manufactured products and distributed products. This session will review specific case studies of each kind of opportunity.
