News from CRWS 3PL Warehousing & Logistics

Safely packaging and shipping products is as important in the fulfillment process as actually getting an order in. Products and orders returned broken and unusable from customers will cut your bottomline in half, decrease customer satisfaction, and affect your brand as a whole.

The term “pick and pack” refers to a shipment model where items are picked from shelves according to purchase orders collected from a point of sale, packaged on site, labeled accordingly and sent to the consumer. We’ve talked about it before on our blog, you can find those links below.

In a previous blog, we spoke about the importance of packaging design when it comes to supporting a product or brand. This time, we are talking about how packaging can affect purchasing decisions and consumer behaviour.

Packaging is the first interaction many consumers will have with a brand, but often not given the same priority in the product design process. Brands will put countless hours into research and design for a new product and then hide it all behind less innovative packaging.

Though the process is a simple set of procedures, there are different ways that product can be picked to suit their individual needs.

Perhaps you’ve instituted pick and pack in your warehouse, but it isn’t as efficient or cost effective as you had hoped. In this blog, we are focusing on what could be potentially going wrong in your pick and pack process.

The current economic landscape created by COVID-19 has taught the world some very valuable business lessons. We mentioned in our blog last month that this pandemic has upended business, and we’re seeing those changes already.
