A Scientific Equipment Company needed Valley Box Co's help to decrease the shipping costs associated with their return shipper crates. They send supplies to archaeological digs all over the world, where the supplies are carefully unloaded and the container is immediately shipped back to the base plant in San Diego, CA.
Since shipping fees are not only based on weight but also cubic dimension, the return shipment was costly. This case study reviews the collapsible design that allowed for an 18% reduction in return shipping costs along with other unforeseen benefits.
