Innovation Lab and the Significant Six
90% of a packaging operation’s costs are hidden. These costs to your business are also costs to the environment. They break down into the Significant Six costs that we can help you isolate and eliminate. A central role of the Innovation Lab is to assess the role of the pack itself in adding to these costs and developing an alternative that reduces or eliminates them.
The Significant Six costs are:
- Storage costs
- Transport costs
- Damages and returns
- Administration costs
- Productivity costs
- Poor customer experience
Lab we can work with you to develop a pack that is lighter, smaller, more sustainable, quicker to fill, easier to open, looks great, and is stronger than your current one. Such a pack will reduce or eliminate all of the Significant Six costs.
