Nine strategies to cut packaging costs

Your packaging cost is made up of much more than just the cost of your materials. Before you create a strategy to cut costs, it’s important to get a clear understanding of the bigger packaging picture. Look beyond the box. Then you can start to understand how you can reduce costs in the long term instead of making short-term – and often short-sighted – efforts to cut costs. For example, through SKU consolidation, waste reduction, automation, package design and more.
