| Summary: | Packaging for logistics is an approach where various levels of packaging systems (primary, secondary, and tertiary) interact with logistics systems (pallets, carriers, and warehousing) and adapt to each other. Logistics costs such as pallets, transportation, vehicle size, storage, and handling depend on the sizes and units of packages. Packaging system performance is analyzed considering the impact of the packaging system on overall logistics performance, such as the inter-relationships between primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging essential requirements, warehousing, and transport performance. Logistics performance is affected by the interaction between various levels of packaging and logistics systems. It is not unusual for some goods to be received at a warehouse in less than perfect condition. These damages during shipment are due to improper packaging. Through this case, readers will understand packaging types and their interfaces at various levels and the impact of packaging design on logistics costs and performance.types of packaging, palletization, containerization, transportation, loading/unloading, optimization of packaging size. |
