Packaging Optimization | The Optimizer Packaging Series

Eliminate the need for Dunnage while reducing Manpower and Shipping Costs

PSI’s Optimizer Packaging System lowers the material, shipping, and labor costs of distribution centers in the order fulfillment industry.

After orders are filled the carton is automatically sized to match its fill height, its flaps are folded inward and a lid is applied, producing an optimal sized package.

Eliminate Dunnage = Material Cost Savings

The Optimizer automatically reduces the volume and amount of empty space inside outbound packages, eliminating the need for dunnage / void fill.

Elimination of dunnage / void fill provides considerable cost savings. For example a distibution center that ships 10,000 cartons per day and pays an average of $0.25 per carton for dunnage / void fill will save approximately $600,000 per year in material costs alone

Reduce Shipping & Labor Costs

Implementing the Optimizer into your material handling line reduces the dimensional volume and weight of your packages. Not only will this minimize shipping costs for the individual package, but it also optimizes the number of packages in each truckload.

The sizing, forming and lid application processes are completely automated using the Optimizer packaging system.

Automated processes eliminate double handling, while reducing warehouse bottlenecks and provide significant labor cost savings. Valuable labor resources can be redirected to more critically tasks

Eco Friendly

Optimal sized packages are environmentally friendly. Using less cardboard and eliminating the need for dunnage / void fill, the Optimizer minimizes the materials that require disposal.
