Case Study: Leading Cosmetics Company achieves $860,000 in annual packaging savings with RR Donnelley

Outside-the-Box Thinking Drives Supply Chain Savings

Leading Cosmetics Company partnered with RR Donnelley to revitalize its packaging program while protecting brand standards. As part of an enterprise-wide cost-reduction effort, the customer drew on its 13-year relationship with RR Donnelley to identify opportunities to lower label and packaging costs.

RR Donnelley used its Supply Chain Solutions platform to implement a series of packaging changes, including print trials for deco labels, thinner films and liners, simplified multilingual roll labels, and local carton production in Mexico. These changes delivered 30% annual savings on films and liners, cut costs by $860,000 annually, and eliminated over 110 million sets of multi-panel labels in favor of a more efficient two-sided printed format.
