Existing packaging optimization
Achieve maximum cost-effectiveness
According to the Joint Industry Unsaleables Report, improper packaging is responsible for a 2% loss in companies’ net sales. This loss originates in incorrect assessment of packaging needs, frequently resulting in under or over-packaging.
Following a certified scientific methodology based on simulations and adapted to your environment, our laboratory experts determine the optimization point of your packaging process and implement the best solution.
Measurable Benefits
Advantages of addressing an under-packaging issue:
- Fewer losses related to damaged merchandise or late delivery
- Lower return shipping costs
- Increased productivity and profitability
- Guaranteed coverage of your merchandise by major carriers
- Protected brand image
Advantages of addressing an over-packaging issue:
- Considerable cost reductions
- Increased productivity and profitability
- Less waste of resources (packaging components, labour, energy, etc.)
- Reduced carbon footprint (less waste generated)

Cooperation and optimization of Altrum’s packaging
At CARTIER, our mission is to optimize packaging for companies across the province to help them reduce their costs and environmental footprint. We love working with them and learning about their realities in order to improve their packaging operations. Most recently, we worked with Altrum, a company that specializes in workplace recognition programs and commemorative products – trophies, medals, etc. Take a look at the positive impacts of their optimal packaging recipe, both on the planet and on their wallet! A proof that it is indeed possible to reduce our ecological footprint while reducing our costs, unlike what one might think!
