At Reflex, we can supply all of your packaging needs:
On one end of the spectrum, we can do something as simple as provide you with one of our already designed stock items for your Hard Drive or DVD-ROM.
The other end of the Spectrum, we can be a key resource providing packaging design services from beginning to end. Tell us what your packaging concern/problem is and let us provide a solution.
Problem: OEM has a product, but doesn’t know size of box or how to orient accessories.
Reflex Solution: Our CAD Engineers understand the physics of fragility packaging. They can design a cushion, accessory tray and outer carton to give your customer the out of box experience you want them to have while giving you the piece of mind that your product will reach them safely.
Problem: US Electronics company manufactures and packs out their product in the Far East, but the cost/unit of shipping to the US reduces margins.
Reflex Solution: We are able to design a smaller package that will meet or beat the protection of your existing package. Then re-layout your pallet to increase the number of units you can ship/pallet. In addition, we have many sites worldwide which can produce our cushions wherever you need them.
Problem: A small but high-performance computer maker located in the US previously used Poly-Urethane packaging to protect their PC’s. Their concerns were cost, environmental issues, and warehouse space. They wanted to keep the same outer carton.
Reflex Solution: Reflex Cushions easily solved all three concerns.
1) Reflex cushions are made from recycled plastics that can be recycled again and again.
2) Our cushions have the ability to nest, this reduces the amount of warehouse space you need for packaging by 75-80%.
3) Our cushions intrinsically cost less than a comparable foam product, and the intangible cost savings are even greater.
I. Warehouse space savings can prevent the need for larger warehouse and racks
II. Most LTL freight companies charge based on the number of pallet spaces used on the truck. If you ship 25% the number of pallets your freight costs drop by 75%
III. Each pallet of cushions holds 4-5 times the amount of cushion sets. This keeps your assembly line moving and reduces the number of trips by a forklift driver from the warehouse to assembly line.
IV. Receiving time at your dock is reduced saving money
All of the above are real costs that are rarely considered when procuring packaging. By switching to Reflex®, the savings will be seen on the bottom line.
