Just a few dozen mm of extra empty space in your packaging can have a huge impact on your bottom line. The average delivery box is 40-60% empty space. By creating customised boxes with an On-demand Packaging® solution, Packsize customers solve this problem and report immediate cost savings.

By eliminating or reducing filler material needed to protect the product during shipment, we’re able to eliminate about € 0.50 of packaging materials per box. When shipping hundreds of boxes, these savings will add up fast. What’s more, void filler is usually the most unsustainable part of your package—it’s often made from plastics that don’t naturally decompose and aren’t easily recycled.
Most shippers treat a box that’s the size of 0.03 cubic metres the same as a box that weighs 4.54 kilograms. Every mm of space saves you money when it comes to dimensional weight charges.

With a large number of SKUs and ever-growing need for different box sizes, the Parts Unlimited team knew it was time to implement a flexible, eco-friendly packaging solution to reduce shipping charges, corrugated usage, and void fill.

Automated packaging solutions can streamline your packaging process by producing the right-sized box for each product on demand. This can make the packaging process faster, more ergonomic, cost-efficient, and less wasteful.
