Logistics & supply chain support

Packaging dimensions set freight cost in two legs: inbound to you and outbound to your customer. Optimising both at once is often the largest saving in a project.

What we plan

Pallet patterns for Euro and industrial pallets.
Units per carton, per pallet and per container.
Transport mode: road, sea or air based on time and cost.
Marking and documentation for goods receipt.

Volumetric weight and format

Carriers often price by volumetric weight, which means air inside the packaging costs money every time a shipment goes out. We work through formats against your actual products and propose dimensions that reduce volume without increasing damage risk.

Lead time and risk

Sea freight is cheapest but most time-sensitive; air is fastest and most expensive; road within Europe sits in between. We plan with margin ahead of the season and raise risks such as port congestion, public holidays in the production country and customs handling early. We give no guarantees on transit times.

Roles in the chain

The supplier manufactures and packs, the forwarder transports, a customs agent handles import where required, and VyPack coordinates information between the parties and checks that the delivery matches the order and specification.

Material, structure and finish in detail

We review board quality, thickness, fit, print technique and finishing with you and turn it into a specification a supplier can produce against.

Do you handle customs?: We coordinate with the forwarder and customs agent and make sure documentation is in place.
How do we plan for peak season?: Backwards from the desired delivery date, with margin for 6-8 weeks of production plus transport.
Can you deliver to several countries?: Yes, to recipients in the Nordics and Europe according to agreed delivery terms.

Storage & delivery solutionsOrdering larger volumes lowers unit price, but only if storage does not cost more than the saving. The solution is usually one production run with call-offs over time.Read more E-commerce packagingIn e-commerce the packaging carries both the brand and the transport. Dimensions, closure and void fill decide freight cost, damage rates and how the unboxing feels.Read more Production & supplier networkVyPack owns no factory. We work with selected suppliers in Europe and Asia and choose the production site based on structure, volume, finish and lead time.Read more Product cartonsA product carton has to fit the product, the shelf and the pallet at the same time. Correct dimensions save more money over time than almost any other choice in a packaging project.Read more
