Custom cardboard mailer boxes come on a pallet, the first ten minutes after the trucks arrive make or break the crushed corner or write-off. The timing of receiving, storing and reordering all follow the purchase order and can be more expensive than the difference between two quotes. Empress Packaging offers businesses in the USA with cardboard mailer boxes.
What are the items to inspect for when a pallet arrives?
Verify the count of cartons with the driver before he/she departs, and check the pallet before leaving. Record on the delivery receipt and take pictures of any corners that are crushed, the wrap torn or cartons that are wet. The notes taken at the dock support the claim, and federal law prescribes a time of nine months from the date of delivery for the claim to be made, but that is the shortest period a carrier may set. Next, open one carton from the top of the pallet and one carton from the middle, check a few buy cardboard mailer boxes to the specification and compare the print with the approved print.
If the run seems to be coming to an end, instead of calling a run short, check for a partial carton. Pack 10 real orders from the pallet before it gets to the packing line. It’s at the packing bench that fit problems manifest and ten boxes are less expensive to lose than a pallet. When a 3PL receives the pallet to which does it verify the dock? Provide their team with a spec sheet and a picture of an approved box prior to the truck departure.
What is the best way to store cardboard mailer boxes?
Store them on pallets, not on the floor or near dock doors or exterior walls where moist air tends to build up. Damp boards lose stiffness, there is moisture absorption in corrugated boards. Wait until the boxes are required before adding the wrap and strapping and use the oldest lot first.
What is the formula to calculate a reorder point?
Multiply boxes required per shipping day by the supplier’s lead time in days to ship the boxes, add the weeks it takes the supplier or carrier to be 100% on time. If a shop orders 200 days worth of packing, with a lead time of 20 days, then he requires 5,000 boxes when he orders, 4,000 for 20-day cover and 1,000 for a week’s cover, making 5,000 in total. Use those numbers as a model and create numbers of your own. Re-calculate before peak season. November usage can be significantly higher than June. The most expensive cardboard mailer boxes are the ones when they go on sale or are used in a rush order and you have to replace the box with another type, they are cheaper only when the order is placed on the day of the sale.
