Managed Packaging for Supply Chain

To stand up to impacts along the supply chain

There has been a growing interest in the efficiency of packaging design in global supply chains. The packaging follows the product throughout the supply chain, from the supplier to the consumer, and thereby in a decisive manner affects the costs.
