Case Study: North American Food Manufacturing Company achieves slack fill compliance and packaging savings with Chainalytics

Chainalytics’ consultants help food manufacturer meet slack fill standards

A North American Food Manufacturing Company faced slack fill compliance issues after growth in its business and product portfolio led to a California packaging violation. The company turned to Chainalytics for help with its packaging and slack fill challenges, including immediate fine risk and the need for a longer-term packaging standardization strategy.

Chainalytics’ packaging experts conducted dimensional analysis across about 1,500 SKUs and retail selling units, reviewed multiple package formats, and ranked products by slack fill risk under federal and state requirements. Chainalytics helped the customer avoid fines by recommending packaging changes such as resizing, using transparent packaging, or adding product, and identified broader savings opportunities of $1.25 million to $1.6 million through optimized materials, cases, pallet efficiency, and shipping boxes.
