Reusable Boxes Enhance Green Supply Chain Management

Intra Company and Intermediate Shipments Ideal for the Reusable Box

As products make their way from raw materials to the consumer, they sometimes take a roundabout path. For shipments routed to other company locations and outsource partners for secondary processing, our Globe Guard® Reusable Box is a better, lower cost and greener option than traditional types of packaging such as wood crates, metal cases, and plastic totes. This type of materials movement occurs for a variety of reasons, including -

• Inventory management – One location’s over stock is another’s back order.
• Testing and inspection – Labs are often centralized even in the largest of companies so product makes a round trip after it is reviewed and approved.
• Finishing, assembly, and painting – Not all facilities have the same capabilities, necessitating product to be shipped from one location to another.
• Multi packing, labeling, and repackaging – More and more of these tasks are being outsourced to contract packaging operations.
• Repair and returns – Handled within the organization or outsourced to third party firms.
• De-manufacturing, rework and reclamation of company or customer owned products.

There is no perfect, one size fits all packaging solution for every product and situation but we are confident our Reusable Boxes have advantages over other available products in specific circumstances. Examples include when initial cost must be minimized, or when the need is temporary such as a seasonal application.

The best part about using a Globe Guard Reusable Box is that when it completes its multiple uses, it can always be easily recycled to create more Globe Guard boxes.
