Two core manual processes in fulfillment. 'Pick' is the collection of customer-ordered products from scattered warehouse shelves. 'Pack' is securing them with void fill and sealing in the shipping carton.
Eco-friendly protective void fill cut from coloured, rigid paper in an accordion pattern. Ideally absorbs impacts, secures the product and adds elegance to gift and cosmetics parcels.
A formula used by courier companies (e.g. DPD, UPS) that determines the billable weight based on the parcel's volume. A light but large air-filled parcel can cost far more than a small, heavy box.
Packaging technologically integrated into the supply chain, e.g. via QR codes, RFID tags or shock/moisture indicators that facilitate product journey auditing.
A model involving the return of not only unsuitable goods but also dedicated reusable return boxes, with the aim of minimising the harvesting of cellulose raw material.
