How packaging choices affect logistics

It’s interesting to consider how packaging can drastically impact supply chain efficiency. For instance, using standardized sizes can streamline storage and reduce transportation costs. Have you all noticed any specific packaging strategies that have either helped or hindered your logistics processes?

I’ve found that using returnable plastic containers not only saved on packaging costs but really improved our handling efficiency. However, if your warehouse isn’t set up for reverse logistics, it can become a hassle. Have you had any luck with specific materials?

It’s true that standardized packaging can work wonders! I recently came across a company that switched to modular boxes, which made stacking and storage a breeze. @olivia_wri41, have you noticed if your returnable plastic containers impact pick times positively or negatively?
