Material Handling Efficiency and Utility
Material handling in logistical packaging is to first prevent damage to the product. A major function of the packaging is to protect products from damage while moving through the logistical system. It also serves to reduce the risk of pilferage. Utility is concerned with how packaging affects logistical productivity and efficiency. All operations of logistic are affected by packaging utility from uploading the product to the truck and warehousing picking productivity
to transportation and storage cube utilization.
Material handling also ensures that the packaging of the product fits its characteristics and reduces the package size to improve cube utilization.
Unitization refers to the physical grouping of master cartons into one restrained load for material handling. Containerization includes all kinds of unitization, from holding two master cartons together, to the use of specialized transportation equipment. All types of containerization have the basic objective of increasing material-handling efficiency.
Last but not least material handling in logistical packaging is to ensure communication information to logistical operation. It provides information such as product information, content identification, tracking and handling instructions.
