Frequently asked questions

1. What is a shipping dimensioner?

A shipping dimensioner and weight scanning systems ensure optimal packaging by providing accurate SKU or item dimension prioritizing sustainable packaging.

2. Why is Sustainable packaging beneficial?

Sustainable packaging offers a variety of benefits, both for the environment and for businesses that use it. Here are some of the key advantages:

  • Environmental benefits: Sustainable packaging minimizes our environmental footprint by using recycled materials, thereby reducing waste, and lessening the reliance on new resources. Moreover, it can be biodegradable or compostable, decreasing the amount of waste sent to landfills.
  • Reduced carbon footprint: Conventional packaging manufacturing requires significant energy and releases greenhouse gases. On the contrary, sustainable packaging is frequently made with minimal energy and from renewable resources, thus reducing a product’s carbon footprint.
  • Consumer appeal: With growing environmental awareness, consumers increasingly favor products packaged sustainably and are willing to pay more for them. Employing sustainable packaging demonstrates a business’s commitment to environmental stewardship, which attracts and retains customers.
  • Cost savings: Sustainable packaging can sometimes be more economical than traditional options due to lower raw material costs and potential savings on waste disposal fees.
  • Improved functionality: Sustainable packaging may offer enhanced functionality compared to traditional counterparts, such as increased durability or improved product preservation.

Overall, sustainable packaging is a win-win for both businesses and the environment. It can help businesses to reduce costs, improve their brand image, and attract new customers, all while helping to protect the planet.

3. How does sustainable packaging reduce shipping costs?

Sustainable packaging can benefit your wallet in two keyways when it comes to shipping:

  • Less weight, less cost: Sustainable options often use lighter materials like recycled cardboard or air cushions. This directly translates to lower shipping costs, as most carriers’ base prices on package weight and dimensions.
  • Right-sizing for efficiency: Sustainable practices often encourage using the perfect amount of packaging for your product. This eliminates wasted space in trucks and allows more items to be shipped together, reducing the number of trips needed and lowering overall fuel costs.

4. How can accurate dims and weight information help shippers and SMB eCommerce for sustainable packaging?
