Reshaping Packaging


As the trend to increase profitability continues, producers have taken measures to reduce package size.  With smaller packages (and less product) the consumer does not see a price increase.  This reduced packaging is also lowering the amount of space in a truck, railcar or ocean container.  In order to double stack your perishable goods and take advantage of cubing out your trailers, your only alternative is using Layer Saver shipping frames.   You are now able to put your palletized goods on the lower tier and then put another pallet of goods (same or different shapes and weights) on the upper tier.  Shipping frames are US made with US steel and hold up to 6000#.

You will realize profits from your reduced package size, reduced quantity of product, scaled-down corrugated (you no longer need to beef up corrugated) and freight costs.  Start sending out one-third less trucks or railcars!
