Choosing the right outer packaging
How to optimize outer packaging
Choosing the right outer packaging solution has a direct impact on supply chain performance. The correct packaging protects products, simplifies handling, and optimizes transport at every stage before reaching the end customer.
To optimize outer packaging, Nefab engineers evaluate the characteristics of your product, transportation conditions, and sustainability principles. We analyze the mode of transport and identify external factors such as handling, stacking, and environmental exposure that impact your product’s safety. Based on this, our engineers select appropriate materials and design the outer packaging solution to ensure it provides robust protection, is sustainable, cost-effective, and customized to your product and logistics requirements.
