Being an environmentally-friendly packaging companies goes beyond the folding carton and extends to the entire supply chain. Shorewood Packaging provides customers with a transparent supply chain to guarantee continuous improvement and innovative methods of being smarter AND greener. We leverage the global assets of International Paper, including the procurement of recycled and renewable materials for additional "green" choices for packaging.
There are several environmentally-friendly options that can improve the supply chain through the shipment of packages and displays, such as:
- Reducing the number of components in shippers
- Increasing the number of items within a shipper (2 or 4 PDQs per shipper)
- Double stacking pallets to reduce fuel costs and minimizing our carbon footprints
- Replacing corrugated board fillers with crinkle paper - resulting in lighter weight cartons and fuel cost savings
Shipping packages and displays in a PDQ shipper is a popular way to deliver products to a fulfillment house or a retail or wholesale store for display. Shorewood realized that by redesigning the PDQ shipper to be more sustainable, a cost savings could be delivered to the customer through:
- Adding 50% more displays per pallet
- Reducing handling costs
- Maximizing truck cube efficiency
- Reducing the packing materials - no fillers
