The explosive growth in e-commerce has changed the packaging methods used to send goods from manufacturers to consumers. As a result, direct-to-consumer orders are more frequently being shipped in polybags than ever before. This shift has far-reaching implications to our industry and is quickly redefining material handling systems, processes and technologies.
In our next On The Move Webinar, Tim Kraus, product management manager, will explore the drivers behind this shift, explain what exactly is changing, and provide strategies to help you make the transition. You’ll learn:
- How the desire to reduce shipping costs is leading to further adoption of polybags
- Why the pliable nature of polybags creates challenges for traditional material handling systems
- How singulated systems compare to bulk handling in terms of total fulfillment costs
- How appropriate system design, material handling equipment and devices can solve these challenges
