packaging
definition
materials used for the containment, protection, handling, delivery, and presentation of goods
fundamentals
trade off
promotion&protect&identity
inter-department
Package testing and monitoring
Label
Typically occurs at the end of the assembly process
Boxes must be labeled when contents are hidden
Many regulations govern labeling
Weight
Specific contents
Instructions for use
Regulations differ from country to country
issues
environmental protection
Reduce packing materials used
Environmentally friendly with recycled content
Closed-loop system Closed-loop system
Use reusable containers
Retain or support services that collect used packaging and recycle it
packaging inefficiencies
Building-blocks concept is useful for analyzing packaging inefficiencies
Undesirable logistics consequences
Increased loss & damage
Slower materials handling
Higher storage costs
Higher transportation costs
The last frontier of logistics savings
transportation
Carriers' tariffs and classifications
type of packaging & packing method
Product density
best use of the equipment's capabilities
Reduce damage
reduce the loss and damage claims
key terms
see PPTs
materials handling
definition
the short-distance movement that usually takes place within the confines of a building such as a plant or distribution center and between a building and a transportation service provider

Picker-to-part systems
Part-to-picker systems
Stowage into vehicle
Stowage based upon load-planning software
Bracing or inflatable dunnage bags
Weighing out
Cubes out (full capacity) vs.
unitization
defined
consolidation of several units (cartons or cases) into larger units to improve efficiency in handling and to reduce shipping costs
handling efficiency
Facilitated by mechanical devices (pallet jack or forklift) as well as by using a pallet or skid

PROs & CONs
additional protection
pilferage discourages
mechanical devices
limited value to resellers dealing in smaller quantities
mechanical or automated device: costly
Lack of standard pallet size
Packaging & Materials Handling
A very small unit is placed into a slightly larger unit, and so on, to protect the product
