Increase productivity with self-moving boxes

Self-mounting boxes are more expensive than standard American cardboard boxes.

However, if you do the maths, you quickly discover that self-moving boxes can increase your company’s productivity and thus save you money for the same number of packages prepared for shipping.

Generally in warehouses you employ 5 people with an average wage of 18€/h total each, to pack 60 packages/h.

The wage cost for each package prepared is 0. 3€ per package, at a cost of 0.46€ per box (31x22x15 cm) plus 0.12€ for other materials used: bubble wrap, adhesive tapes. So each packaged parcel costs your company: 0.88€.

If on the other hand you use the box (31x22x15cm) which costs 0.56€, but which has a self-assembling bottom, you reduce assembly time considerably

So now the cost of preparing each package drops to: 0.15€(salary per parcel) + 0. 56€ per box + 0.1 2€ (other materials) : 0,83€

The advantage for you is that the warehousemen pack twice as many packages per hour, at a reduced cost per package!

Not only that, by doubling the number of boxes prepared per hour, you can reduce delivery times.

For Internet users, the speed of delivery is increasingly important, just think that 70% of e-commerce customers remain loyal to the seller based on the delivery experience.

When you choose self-moving bottom boxes, you not only save money, you also create a better custumer-experience when it comes to shipping.

Last but not least, boxes that are quicker to assemble will save you from having to hire casual workers during peak order periods, such as those around Christmas or sales, for example.

You will be able to count on your usual reliable staff, having increased their productivity!
