In a fulfillment warehouse, size matters in shipping - using the right size box for shipping minimizes dunnage, improves the presentation quality of your order upon receipt, and most of all avoids costly dimensional weight penalties.
Many warehouse operations have some predetermined number of standard box sizes, and the order packer manually selects the box in which the order will be fulfilled. This results in very little consistency, not to mention the potential for a tremendous degree of waste – in extra dunnage and box cost. An oversized box can also allow excess product shifting, adding to the potential that the product is damaged during delivery. Lastly, and perhaps most impactful is that in many cases this also costs much more in shipping based on dimensional weight, because frequently a larger than necessary box is used.
Vision Consumer Products Fulfillment’s proprietary predictive packaging algorithms insure the right size is always used in fulfillment and warehouse operations – all done automatically in advance. Our systems evaluate the order components, determines the best strategy for product combination within each carton, and then selects the most appropriate box size based a predetermined level of acceptable void space.
Ask your current warehouse partner or personnel about predictive packaging. If you get back a blank stare, then you know you have the opportunity save cost! If you’re considering a new fulfillment partner, you’ll be surprised at how much the right partner can present many opportunities to save cost while also providing your business with a scalable approach to managing your growth along the way.
