1. Use thinner plastic. Regardless of what type of returnable packaging you are using (plastic corrugated, heavy gauge thermoformed trays and pallets, custom dunnage, etc.) chances are you will probably be able to save money if you ask your supplier to make the product using a thinner gauge of plastic. Just make sure your product can still be supported properly by testing actual samples in real time conditions.
2. Plan ahead. Nothing will save you more money on your returnable packaging than giving your supplier ample time to complete your order. Rush orders always cost more money.
3. Forecast your needs. If you can, order in advance. If you order an extra month’s supply of product, not only will it be there for you when you need it, but you may also save money by placing a larger order and getting a bulk discount.
4. Before placing a large order, test to make sure the packaging you are ordering is appropriate for your product. Ask your supplier for samples so you can experiment.
5. Prices in the plastic market can change rapidly. Keep on eye on pricing, and when they seem to be low, order your returnable packaging in bulk and store whatever you do not need right away. Or, ask your supplier to keep an eye on market prices and have them advise you when the time is right to place an order.
6. Establish a relationship with a freight carrier. Negotiating a discounted rate with a carrier (such as Roadway, CCX, or Old Dominion) can have a drastic impact on your bottom line.
7. Have your supplier store your inventory. For a small fee, your supplier may be able to store your orders for you. The fee will most likely be smaller than what it costs to store the products in your own warehouse. Also, by storing it offsite, you can maintain a larger inventory if you should need to do so.

If you remember black and white TV, you are dating yourself. Perhaps even carbon-dating yourself. But I remember sitting in rapt attention when color TV came to town. Your audiences will do the same if you add some color to your presentations.Color - in terms of presentations - is mostly about the voice. Humans have a remarkable sound system, but most people don't use 10 percent of their vocal ability. Voca

Sorting through all the pieces of what goes into a life or career can seem rather daunting. You may feel that if you can put food on the table and keep a roof over your head, and maybe somehow find time to spend with your children, that’s about all you can reasonably do. Taking the time to think through your values – what you hold most dear in life – seems like a nice extra, but not at all critical. After all,

9. Determine a safety stock amount of your particular returnable packaging. Have your supplier keep a safety stock on hand in case of emergencies. This way, you will not have to place a last-minute rush order, which can be extremely expensive. Use sales data from previous years to estimate your needs.
10. Utilize the knowledge and expertise of your packaging producer. Their business is to supply their customers with the most cost-effective, innovative packaging solutions available on the market. Since they are reading and watching packaging news every day, they are much more likely to be aware of new innovations that may help you realize a cost savings.
In closing, returnable packaging continues to grow in popularity, not just with automotive suppliers (who started the trend) but non automotive industries as well. Rely on your packaging producer to help analyze your current packaging costs and see if returnable packaging is right for your company.
