Core pain points: Packaging costs are an important part of the total logistics cost and are constantly under pressure.

Material costs: Price fluctuations and increases in the price of packaging materials (paper, plastic, wood, cushioning materials).

Shipping costs: Packaging that is too bulky and heavy (especially wooden packaging) leads to ineffective transportation, wastes capacity space, and increases unit freight costs.

Operational costs: Complex packaging (such as requiring special tools for assembly) increases packaging, unpacking time, and labor costs.

Damage costs: Hidden costs such as compensation, return processing, and reshipment due to damage to goods are huge.

Storage Costs: Non-standard, non-stackable, or bulky packaging takes up too much storage space.

Core pain points: Packaging design does not fully consider the operational convenience of all aspects of logistics, which becomes an efficiency bottleneck.

Slow packing/sealing: The packaging structure is complex and the sealing method is cumbersome (such as too much tape, special tools required).

Difficulty in loading and unloading: The packaging has no grippers, irregular shape, uneven weight distribution, and easy slipping, resulting in time-consuming and laborious loading and unloading, and prone to work-related injuries.

Difficulty in sorting/scanning: The label position is not uniform, easy to stain or fall off, and the barcode/QR code is not clear or cannot be scanned effectively, affecting the efficiency and accuracy of automated sorting.

Inconvenient unpacking: Difficult and time-consuming unpacking for customers or consignees, impacting the experience and potentially damaging the goods.

Low space utilization: The packaging size is not standard, unstackable, or unstable, resulting in serious waste of space in containers, trucks, and warehouses.

Core pain points: Recycling, cleaning, and managing recyclable packaging (such as pallets, totes, pallet collars) are expensive and difficult.

Low recycling rate: Packaging is fragmented downstream of the supply chain, especially for end consumers, and recycling networks are inadequate, leading to lost or stranded packaging.

High cost of reverse logistics: The transportation, warehousing, and management of empty packaging are costly.

Cleaning and Maintenance: Specialized facilities and processes are required for cleaning, disinfection, inspection, and repair to ensure hygiene and safety (especially food, medicine) and structural integrity.

Complex inventory management: The location and status of a large number of circulating packages (available, in transit, to be cleaned, damaged) need to be tracked in real time, and the system investment and management costs are high.

Difficulty in cross-enterprise collaboration: It requires a high degree of collaboration among all participants in the supply chain (shipper, logistics provider, and consignee) to implement unified management rules.

Core pain points: Increasingly stringent environmental regulations and sustainability requirements from consumers/brands.

Material Restrictions: Prohibiting or restricting certain packaging materials (e.g., single-use plastic foam, untreated wood packaging, inks containing heavy metals).

Rising Waste Disposal Costs: Significant disposal costs of single-use packaging waste have increased.

Reduction requirements: It is necessary to reduce the use of packaging materials (reduction) to avoid over-packaging.

Recyclability requirements: Recyclable materials need to be used and structures that are easy to separate and recycle.

Circular economy pressures: Pushing for the adoption of circular packaging but facing the management challenges mentioned above.

Carbon Footprint Considerations: The entire process of material production, transportation, and waste treatment of packaging involves carbon emissions.

Dangerous goods: Extremely strict international/domestic regulations (e.g. UN standards), high packaging certification costs, and special operating requirements.

Cold chain goods: need to be insulated and insulated, high cost, and have strict requirements for timeliness and temperature control.

Oversized and overweight cargo: Requires customized heavy-duty packaging, which is difficult to design and implement, and extremely costly.

High-value goods: Require anti-theft, tamper-evident packaging (e.g., disposable seals, anti-counterfeiting designs), adding cost and complexity.
