Product damage during shipping and storage is more than just a nuisance – it’s a direct hit to your bottom line. Businesses across industries lose thousands annually due to broken goods, returns, customer dissatisfaction, and shipping inefficiencies. The good news? You can reduce product damage with better packaging and in doing so, significantly cut costs and improve operational efficiency.
At Arnold Packaging, we’ve helped countless companies optimize their packaging processes to save time, reduce breakage, and enhance the customer experience. In this post, we’ll explore real use cases, cost comparisons, and expert tips to help you improve protective packaging.
💡 Tips to Reduce Product Damage with Better Packaging
- Use Product-Specific Cushioning
Avoid one-size-fits-all fillers. Use custom inserts, foam, or molded pulp that conforms to your product’s shape. - Test Drop Durability
Use ISTA testing standards to simulate real-world shipping conditions and evaluate how your packaging holds up. - Seal and Label Effectively
Reinforce boxes with high-grade tape and apply “Fragile” or “This Side Up” labels to guide handlers. - Right-Size Your Boxes
Oversized boxes lead to product movement and impact damage. Choose packaging that fits snugly and eliminates excess void space. - Consider Climate-Resistant Materials
Humidity, heat, and cold can weaken packaging. Use moisture-resistant coatings and materials when necessary.
