If you are using 10000 lbs. per week of a single SKU, significant savings can be realized by transitioning from traditional 50 lbs. box packaging to 1700 lbs. super sacks, as outlined in the cost saving opportunity below.
This also translates to a reduction in box waste, and disposal of box waste, from a man-power and materials perspective.
Your powder manufacturer will increase efficiency and gain cost-saving benefits.
By using a super sack, you will minimize your waste stream as empty sacks are collapsible to lay flat. Several empty super sacks fit on one pallet, compared to 30+ boxes on a pallet.
The super sack is made of UV Stabilized disposable polypropylene fabric, with puncture strength equal to alternative packaging.
Product can be stored in a super sack as easily as a boxes, with simple loading and unloading on production line -- all easily managed by one person.
What is: Currently using 2,000 lbs. per day (44 boxes per day), an operator/forklift costs $20 per hour. $800 per week, at 48 weeks equates to $38,400 per year.
What could be: Super sack for 30 minutes per day (at $20 per hour) for four days at 48 weeks equates to $2,500 per year, which translates to $35,900 in savings.
