Keeping up with these fast changing trends impacts your product’s packaging in some way: size, shape, copy or graphics may need to be altered. Most brands change something related to each of their products every 12 to 18 months, if not sooner.
Learn how to get control over these changes through right sizing, and how that may improve your business.

What is ‘right sizing’?

Right sizing means you adapt packaging in size, shape, weight or volume.

Such small changes have an even bigger impact the further you move through the supply chain: secondary packaging, transporting and warehousing may all be affected.

Capturing and executing right sizing early on in the design process gives you immediate efficiencies and cost savings, as well as better control over your product and packaging innovation lifecycle.

Unparalleled benefits

The cost savings of product right sizing are immediately detectable. Every dollar saved is added profit to your company’s bottom line. And all of this without raising your price, selling more products or increasing your market share.


Reduce your carbon footprint
You can equally implement right sizing for sustainability reasons. Minor modifications in your product’s packaging have a direct impact on the use of material, the number of boxes stored on one pallet, the truck load scheme, the number of truck miles driven and the carbon dioxide emission.
