Comment utiliser une caisse multi hauteur ?

Une caisse à hauteur variable est pourvue de rainures pliables tous les 1 ou 2,5 cm. Ainsi, vous l’adaptez sans problème à vos produits. Si vous êtes actif dans le commerce en ligne, vous connaissez peut-être déjà ce type de caisse qui est devenu l’une des boîtes d’expédition les plus utilisées, même chez RAJA. Mais pourquoi une caisse à hauteur variable est-elle si importante pour l’e-commerce ?

Souvent, lorsque vous emballez vos produits avec une boîte standard, vous devez combler le vide à l’intérieur. Malheureusement, c’est un inconvénient que l’on retrouve régulièrement dans le processus d’emballage. Des recherches ont d’ailleurs montré que l’espace vide dans les emballages du e-commerce varie entre 18 % (vêtements et chaussures), 50 % (jouets et ustensiles de cuisine) et 64 % (articles en verre).¹

Il est difficile d’éviter complètement le vide dans les colis. Dans environ 60 % des commandes, il représente un quart du volume de l’emballage. Ils so

The four advantages of a variable height crate

► 1. Saves money

[The

first benefit will be felt directly in your wallet. In fact, with this “clever” crate, you will use less cushioning. Unnecessary expenses for air cushions or cushioning paper will be a distant memory. Another economic benefit : the more compact your crate is, the less tape you will use to close it.

► 2. Saves time

If you choose the automatic bottom model, all you have to do is press the side walls together to assemble the box. If you work with 5 packers, they can handle up to 1500 cases/hour, whereas with standard cases this figure will only be 600 cases/hour.

In addition,

your packers will not waste time looking for a case in the right size. They will only need their multi-high case, so their productivity will increase!

► 3. Saves space

The same crate can be adjusted up to 12 heights, so it replaces a whole series of crates that you would have had to buy and store separately. This saves you a huge amount of space for, say, storing other additional products.

► 4. Satisfied customers

Finally, it’s important to note that customers appreciate variable height crates more. The more efficiently you use them (with less padding, for example), the more positive customers will feel about your business. Too much unnecessary material is more likely to irritate them, so it’s an opportunity to more easily present yourself as a ” sustainable business.”
