Profit Margin Evaluation -

When was the last time you evaluated packaging costs? Are you currently seeking a new way to save some money on the packaging phase of your supply chain? Now is the perfect time to look into new applications. As logistical systems evolve and become better organized, they create new opportunities for using packaging innovations to add value and minimize cost across a supply chain. Reusable packaging is one of those modernizations and is becoming the most cost-effective choice for an increasing number of applications. Our clients are reducing costs by conducting value studies of materials to minimize overall costs. Applying environmental considerations into key material management decisions can help improve operating efficiency. By taking a strategic approach to purchasing by integrating reusable packaging, some companies are significantly improving both their profit margins and environmental profile. Disposal costs alone could be consuming your profit without even realizing it. Disposal of materials represent a large share of operating expenses and is sometimes overlooked in overhead expenses.

Benefits of converting to returnable, reusable packaging include:

  • Reducing damage to a product

  • Eliminating packaging waste such as stretch wrap and tape
  • Presenting parts more efficiently to assembly lines
  • Avoiding disposal costs
  • Reduced packaging costs
  • Reduced labor costs

Savings Calculator - What's Your ROI -

Amatech has been in business for over twenty years and continuously helps some of the largest companies in America make the transition to returnable, reusable packaging. The initial investment to convert to returnable packaging can prevent some companies from considering a conversion. However, there are a couple highly valuable points to consider. The lifespan of a returnable pack can range from 3-5+ years. In addition to this feature, as your product moves through the supply chain, your product moves through it in the same returnable package, trip after trip. Your return on investment long term will most likely far exceed what your organization spends on expendable packaging. Are you curious what your return on investment would be? You don’t have to stay curious for too long, we offer the use of a Savings Calculator for you to input your current packaging costs and to project the cost of the conversion.
