Case Study: U.S. Customs achieves carton space savings with OIA Global's carton optimization pilot program

U.S. Customs saves 20,500 boxes with OIA Global carton optimization

The customer, U.S. Customs, faced a challenge with inefficient packaging, as their shipping containers were using 43.8 M² of space. This resulted in unnecessary shipping costs. To address this, they engaged vendor OIA Global to improve packaging quality while simultaneously reducing the space required.

OIA Global implemented a carton optimization pilot program, which involved engineering a new, more durable "Optibox" in collaboration with Asian paper mills. This solution reduced the container space used from 43.8 M² to 29.0 M² and saved 20,500 boxes. The measurable impact was a transportation savings of $0.021 per unit, significantly improving the cost per unit from origin to destination.
