Case Study: Pregis enhances efficiency while boosting sustainability for 3PL

Overview

In today’s competitive market, efficiency and sustainability are essential. An international 3PL provider partnered with Pregis to enhance both at their US West Coast facility. This  collaboration addressed logistical and environmental challenges, aligning with the sustainability goals of their client, a premium kitchen appliance brand committed to stringent social and environmental standards.

Challenge

During a facility tour, the Pregis team gained valuable insights into the packaging and shipping processes, identifying several key logistical and environmental challenges:
• The 3PL sourced virgin paper from an East Coast supplier, requiring cross-country transportation and increasing its carbon footprint
• Using virgin paper conflicted with the client's sustainability goals
• The supplier's location hindered local support and resources
• The existing void-fill system held only one bundle of paper, requiring frequent pauses to replenish stock
• Machine placement positioned operators away from packaging stations, adding extra steps
and inefficiencies

Solution

Complementing the 3PL’s goal for innovation, Pregis recommended the EasyPack® Quantum™ Pro built for
high-volume environments. The on-demand   paper void-fill system provided key benefits in four areas: Enhanced Sustainability, Increased Throughput, Optimized Design, and Savings.
