Packaging is a recurring cost across every order. Standardized specifications and efficient purchasing can lower landed cost per unit.

First, consolidate SKUs. Standardizing on fewer container sizes increases per-item volume and unlocks better pricing tiers.

Second, optimize carton and pallet configuration to maximize container loading and reduce freight cost per unit.

Third, plan ahead. Booking production during off-peak periods and ordering full containers avoids rush fees and LCL shipping premiums.
