Benefits of an Audit

Material Specification

You may be packaging with a material that is not sized correctly for your product. A proper film gauge, the correct board grade or the right void fill, can reduce your packaging costs, whilst still providing the necessary protection.

Packaging Waste

Obligated packaging producers must register and meet their waste packaging recycling and recovery responsibilities. This is where Springpack will review your processes and offer advice on products that will help reduce your packaging waste. We provide all the data on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis, so we can help you to review improvements throughout the year.

Breakages and Damage

We know one of the biggest expenses within a business is transit damage, which can affect your reputation. Your dedicated Packaging Expert will review your processes from start to finish and recommend tried and tested solutions to reduce and eliminate breakages and damage. We have a large range of solutions from our stock range, but we can provide a bespoke solution, specific to your requirements too.

Packing process improvement (Speed)

We understand the speed of the process is at the heart of our operation, and with over 40 years of experience, we will review your processes and save you time when packing, without losing any of the durability of the product.

Reducing Shipping Costs for Small Businesses

Reducing Shipping Costs for Small Businesses

At Springpack, we’re always looking for ways to help our customers with a more efficient packaging process. Recently, we looked at how we can help to reduce shipping costs for small businesses local to Springpack’s head office in Worcester.

Customers within a 60-mile radius can now benefit from free delivery for orders over £200. This new delivery offer also helps us to reduce our CO2 emissions. With customers consolidating smaller orders into larger orders, we’ll be driving less miles on a day-to-day basis. So if you’re looking to reduce shipping costs and improve your sustainability credentials, get in touch today about your packaging requirements.

Packaging Material Costs

If you don’t keep on top of your packaging materials, you could end up using more than you need to. Equally, you could end up shipping your products in inefficient packaging. Ask yourself some simple questions:

By asking yourself these questions, you will be able to determine what changes you need to make to the packaging materials you use. For example, IKEA obsess over their packaging materials. By reducing their cardboard box sizes and void fill requirements, they saved millions. Even going so far as to design their furniture with shipping in mind.

Standardise Your Packaging

One of the best ways to reduce packaging costs is to standardise your packaging. So once you’ve audited all of your packaging materials, consider whether you can streamline your operation. If you sell similarly sized products, can you use a single box size, rather than several different ones? Not only does this have an obvious impact on the packaging you need to buy, but also streamlines your picking, packing, and shipping process.

Reduce Your Plastic Packaging

As of April 2022, the UK has introduced a plastic packaging tax. This means that plastic packaging which contains less than 30% of recycled plastic will face a tax charge of £210.82 per tonne. And it is applicable to each component of your packaging.

Void fill is one of the most common areas where plastic is used. You can avoid paying this plastic packaging tax by switching to an eco-friendly void fill. For example, paper twist fill is a great alternative to plastic void fills. It is designed to absorb shocks and protect your goods, while also being incredibly lightweight.

Pallet wrap is another example that will be impacted by the packaging tax. That’s why we launched a new range of eco-friendly pallet wrap that is made from at least 30% recycled materials.

Packaging Storage Costs

If you have a lot of different packaging requirements, it will be important to reduce your stock management costs. We can help you by holding your packaging in our 53,000 square foot warehouse.

Packaging Automation Can Reduce Packaging Costs

A lot of businesses can benefit from automating some of the packaging process. For example, pallet wrapping machines can make your packaging operation a lot more efficient. Not only will they speed up the packaging process, but they’ll also minimise wastage of pallet wrap.

But it’s not just big machines that can help you to automate your packaging process. If you use a lot of gummed paper tape, an electronic paper tape dispenser might be the right solution. The dispenser will save you time, reduce wastage and save you money over the long term.

In truth, we’ve only scratched the surface of all the different ways you can save money on your packaging costs. Every business will have its own unique challenges. That’s why we recommend a free packaging audit to help you discover how to reduce your packaging costs.
