Shipping with Active Packaging Containers
Three Pre-flight Decisions that Impact the Success of High-value Global Shipments.

Ready for the New Dimensional Weight Charges?
Don’t wait for January 2015. Packsize can help you plan for dimensional charges by doing a box analysis and offering customized solutions.

What Can On Demand Packaging Do For You?
On Demand Packaging typically reduces box size by 40 percent, which results in a 20 percent reduction in corrugated.

The Dimensional Price Increase: Did We Bring This on Ourselves?
In the near future, getting rid of that spare 40% empty space is going to become a very high priority for e-retailers.

How Many Box Sizes Are Enough?
Every cost associated with outbound warehousing, order fulfillment and transportation is driven by the cubic volume of the box used to package each order. Minimizing outbound cubic volume is the key to managing cost.

When 99% Just Isn’t Enough: Benefits of Improved Read Rates in Logistics Scanning
The pressure for distribution centers to increase productivity and reduce labor cost has never been greater. One way distribution centers are helping to meet this goal is by upgrading from mature laser-based scanner technologies to newer digital reader technology that provide increased read rates.

Dimensioning for Profit
The successful use of cubing equipment is highly dependent on a full understanding of what you are getting and the limitations associated with it.

Reducing the Cost and Complexity of Dimensional-Weight Shipping Charges
The carrier practice of applying dimensional-weight shipping charges is here to stay and will likely be adopted for additional modes of transport in the future.

What Dimensional Price Increases Mean For Your Business
The change in pricing will dramatically affect online shoppers and retailers - someone will have to swallow the estimated hundreds of millions of dollars in extra shipping costs.
