How Arnold Packaging Helped One Company Lower Freight Costs by 34%

THE PROBLEM

A major cosmetics distributor contacted our team at Arnold Packaging. They were looking to curb their freight expenses. 

We discovered the main culprit to be the shipment of multiple boxes to a single location. Specifically, the distributor was sending two 10-pound packages for $10.54.

THE SOLUTION

We recommended the distributor acquire a strapping machine, strap the two boxes together, and ship them as one package. 

THE OUTCOME

By combining the two boxes into one 20-pound package, the distributor lowered freight costs by 34% – to $6.90 total.

This savings paid for the strapping machine in under 4 months.

So, we have to ask… 

Are Freight Costs Hurting Your Profits? 

Freight expenses can impact your company in many ways. Here are just a few:

  • Price Competitiveness: Falling profit margins may compel increased prices above the market norm.
  • Supply Chain Disruptions: Fluctuating freight costs can affect delivery schedules, as well as require a reevaluation of inventory management practices.
  • Customer Service: Slower shipping methods may be adopted to cut costs, leading to longer delivery times and customer dissatisfaction.
  • Environmental Impact: Less eco-friendly shipping options could be resorted to in order to save money.

Any of these sound familiar? No worries…
