Packsize is developing additional offerings meant to meet International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) performance test expectations. Packsize test facilities are not only coming up with ways to hit these benchmarks, but doing so with items of all shapes, sizes, weights, and other odd dimensions.

Almost a third of all municipal solid waste is packaging. Amazon’s “Frustration-Free Packaging” (FFP) is one of those programs trying to reduce waste, and November 2018 marked its 11th anniversary. With that in mind, let’s take a second to talk about Frustration-Free Packaging and why it matters.

Packaging is a source of frustration…and the source of a lot of garbage. Nearly one-third of all trash produced in the US is packaging waste. It’s so much more omnipresent than many of us realize, and it’s important to make sure it’s as frustration-free as possible.

Best intentions occasionally fall short. It’s bound to happen but when a customer’s order is on the line, it doesn’t matter how close you came to getting it right. Shortcomings in the shipping department are inexcusable. No one is going to be happy if their order arrives damaged due to poor planning on the part of the company they ordered it from. And much of this headache can be avoided because currently-available packaging software helps eliminate damage inflicted during delivery.

Online shopping isn’t going away anytime soon. The sheer convenience of same-day shipping without ever having to leave the couch ensures it.

The iQ Series of custom box-making machines is mainly designed for e-commerce and light manufacturing. This On Demand Packaging machine has a small footprint and can be integrated into any warehouse space with no upfront capital equipment cost. Electrical modifications rarely need to be made due to the machine’s lower voltage requirements, making installation seamless and cost-efficient.

I recently developed something of a hot sauce addiction. It started with some basic hot wings from a local establishment, and then grew into ordering a bunch of specialty sauces online.

It’s called an assembly line for a reason. No matter which production task is going on inside your facility, chances are that a bunch of people are going to be involved in the preparation process. As an order makes its way from warehouse shelf to the hands of a transporter and finally to the consumer, a litany of processes unfold.

Electric vehicles do make an environmental difference. A 2015 study by the Natural Resources Defense Council confirms that fueling vehicles with electricity instead of fossil fuels can significantly reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (CHG) and other pollutants that threaten our environment and our health

Do you know just how much your business can save on by utilizing Packsize’s packaging design software? The largest companies worldwide including Staples have made the switch to using Packsize software for two simple reasons: They’ve created more time and space, resulting in more profitability.

After eyeing a product online, committing to a purchase and waiting patiently for its arrival, few things are more disappointing than discovering that the item was damaged during shipping. We understand that mistakes happen, but getting a refund or replacement can be a real hassle. Those with limited free time are even more disadvantaged.
