Creating Packaging to Improve Shipping Capacity

[amp200]

Hello,

I am doing my Masters Thesis on transportation and packaging. I am interested in any consumer packaging changes companies have made to improve the efficiency of their shipping, both environmentally and in terms of volume. More specifically, I am focusing on alternative and environmental packaging which reduces the cube for overall shipment. I would love to hear any of your experiences. Also, if you have a few minutes, I would love if you could fill out this survey based on your work experience (either past or present).

Thank you for your time,

Amy

Hi,

One example that comes to mind is toilette paper. Some brands squeeze their paper rolls together before wrapping them in the plastic bags. Thus giving them a cube shape and eliminating the empty space in the center.

Best regards
