Export packaging design of maternal and infant products: strategies to reduce logistics costs

1. Optimize packaging size and structure
   Modular design: decompose products into combinable modules to reduce the overall packaging volume

Compact structure: customize the lining according to the shape of the product to eliminate excess space

Standard size selection: meet the international transportation standard pallet size (1200×800mm or 1200×1000mm)

Stacking optimization: design the top and bottom structure of the packaging that is easy to stack in multiple layers

2. Lightweight material selection
   High-strength lightweight materials: such as honeycomb paperboard, lightweight corrugated paperboard

Reduce the number of material layers: reduce the number of packaging layers while ensuring protection

Environmentally friendly alternative materials: use degradable foam or paper cushioning materials to replace traditional plastic foam

Integrated design: reduce the number of independent packaging components

3. Transportation efficiency improvement plan
   Container loading optimization: simulate the best packing plan through software

Foldable packaging: products can be folded and recycled after use to reduce return transportation costs

Multi-piece combination packaging: design integrated packaging suitable for the joint transportation of multiple products

Seasonal adjustment: adjust the packaging strategy according to the logistics characteristics of different seasons

IV. Cost control and compliance
Target market research: understand the packaging material restrictions and environmental protection requirements of the destination country

Balance between protection and cost: determine the minimum safety packaging standard through drop testing

Label optimization: reduce unnecessary labels and adopt direct printing

Supplier collaboration: cooperate with logistics service providers to optimize the overall supply chain cost

V. Special considerations
Temperature-controlled packaging: design economical and efficient insulation solutions for products that require temperature control

Moisture-proof treatment: use low-cost moisture-proof solutions in humid transportation routes

Anti-theft design: add anti-theft features without increasing obvious weight and volume

Multi-language design: use universal icons to reduce text description space

Through the comprehensive application of the above strategies, maternal and infant product export companies can significantly reduce logistics costs and increase international market share while ensuring product safety.
