Find the Right Packaging Fix.
Start with Question 1 and continue until you reach your first “No.”
That answer will direct you to the product or service that best matches the information your team is currently missing.
Do You Know Your True Packaging Cost Per Shipped Order?
This should include packaging materials, freight impact, packing labor, damage, returns, rework, storage, waste, and packaging complexity—not only the price of the box.
Yes:
Continue to Question 2.
No:
Start With the Packaging Cost Audit System
Measure the complete packaging-system cost across up to 50 products or packaging configurations.
Do You Know Whether Package Size Is Increasing Freight or Storage Cost?
This includes dimensional weight, billable weight, excess empty space, right-sizing, pallet density, and inefficient package dimensions.
Yes:
Continue to Question 3.
No:
Start With the Freight & Cube Savings Toolkit
Evaluate package size, carrier quotes, dimensional-weight exposure, unused cube, pallet density, and proposed right-sizing scenarios.
Do You Know What Packaging Damage Is Actually Costing?
Include replacement product, replacement packaging, reshipping, refunds, claims, customer service, inspection, rework, and lost margin.
Yes:
Continue to Question 4.
No:
Start With the Damage Reduction Diagnostic
Calculate the annual financial impact, organize failure data, investigate likely root causes, and determine how much improvement may be justified.
Do You Know What Your Packing Process Costs Per Order?
Include box assembly, product loading, inserts, void fill, sealing, labeling, inspection, searching for materials, and rework.
Yes:
Continue to Question 5.
No:
Start With the Pack Process Efficiency Toolkit
Measure labor cost, time each packout step, identify bottlenecks, and compare current and proposed processes.
Can You Show the Financial Value of Your Proposed Packaging Change?
A complete business case should account for low, expected, and high savings, implementation cost, ROI, payback, risk, and validation requirements.
Yes:
Continue to Question 6.
No:
Start With the Packaging Opportunity Business Case
Turn a proposed packaging change into a structured financial decision.
Can One Focused Toolkit Cover the Entire Problem?
Yes:
Use the standalone product that matches the problem you identified.
No:
Use the Complete Packaging Profit System
Analyze cost, freight, damage, labor, and financial opportunity together. The complete system is best for multiple products, multiple problems, or companies building an internal packaging improvement process.
Can Your Team Safely Determine, Validate, and Implement the Actual Packaging Change?
Consider whether the change affects product protection, structural design, material specifications, leakage, dangerous goods, regulatory requirements, pallet stability, shipping tests, or customer safety.
Yes:
Use the appropriate tool to document the change, run a controlled pilot, and monitor results.
No:
Work With TH3BOX
Use a Packaging Strategy Mini Audit for expert direction, or engage TH3BOX for packaging engineering, validation, and implementation support.
