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)
ISTA-certified, stringent process
CARTIER’s laboratory uses specialized equipment to recreate your shipping (air, land or sea), storage and handling conditions to detect and help you address any packaging weaknesses.
Built according to International Safe Transit Association (ISTA)-certified test protocols, our laboratory faithfully recreates your merchandise packaging and shipping processes by simulating the actual conditions of your environment.
Using advanced simulation equipment, our laboratory can test the following parameters:
- Vibration
- Impact
- Shock
- Elasticity
This means that our recommendations are validated by a process that makes it easier to obtain coverage from major carriers, among many other benefits.

Banning of certain single-use plastics: how to follow through?
With the growing need to reduce the environmental footprint of individuals and businesses, Canada recently announced that it is adjusting its plastics regulations. In order to reduce the consumption of polluting materials, the government will ban the manufacture, sale and import of components deemed harmful to the environment by 2025.
The entry into force of this regulation is a golden opportunity for your company to review and optimize your packaging. In addition to making you more eco-responsible, this revision could help you reduce your expenses.
